Why CBT Matters in Recovery
When you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or substance use, it can feel like your mind is working against you. Maybe you’ve noticed:
- Racing thoughts that spiral into worst-case scenarios
- A voice in your head telling you “you’ll never change”
- Habits you know are harmful but feel impossible to stop
CBT meets these challenges head-on. Instead of just talking about problems, you’ll learn how to reframe your thinking and practice healthier behaviors day by day.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people:
- Recognize unhelpful patterns
- Challenge negative self-talk
- Build coping strategies for stress, cravings, and conflict
Research shows CBT is highly effective for both mental health conditions and substance use disorders, making it one of the most widely used therapies in treatment.
