Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment that helps you learn new ways of thinking and behaving. 'Cognitive' means thinking, 'behavioural' means how you behave, and 'therapy' means treatment.
You might hear it called CBT for short, and it's used in the treatment of some mental conditions, like depression.
