What Is CBT?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is a practical part of addiction therapy programs in Tennessee at Nashville Treatment Solutions.
The therapy uses the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. So, if we can change our thoughts and feelings, our behaviors will follow suit.
CBT is a collaborative process between therapist and client. The therapist will help you identify negative thoughts and beliefs and teach you new, more positive ways of thinking and behaving. Together, you will work on changing how you react to situations that trigger your negative thoughts and emotions.
You are not alone. You deserve to get help.

HOW OUR TAILOR-MADE TREATMENT PLANS CAN HELP
How Does CBT Fit Into a Therapy Plan?
Many therapists will use cognitive-behavioral therapy in individual and group settings. During individual sessions, a therapist will help a client identify negative thinking patterns and work to reframe them. In group settings, clients can share their experiences with others going through similar journeys.
A CBT program usually lasts 12 to 16 weeks, but some people may need more or less time depending on their progress. Some people may also need booster sessions after completing the initial therapy plan.
