At Ravelare Recovery, our mission is to help women reclaim their lives through our evidence-based treatments that promote real and sustainable healing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the cornerstone therapies we offer to treat various conditions women struggle with. CBT is regarded as one of the best treatments for mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, which are more prevalent among women. The evidence suggests that CBT can lead to significant improvement studies show that 75 percent of people who undergo CBT experience positive changes in their mental health.
All our therapists are knowledgeable about the particularities of women’s experiences and are here to support you in the process of healing. In CBT, women learn practical skills to handle stress, reverse negative thoughts, and work towards positive change in their lives. Regardless of the issue that you or a loved one is struggling with, including addiction, mood disorders, or other mental health issues, our CBT program will provide you with a safe and compassionate environment where women can grow and heal.
CBT assists women in gaining skills in the recognition of thought patterns, their behavioral symptoms, and ways of handling these symptoms, enhancing their self-esteem and fulfillment of their goals.
What Is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is recommended for various mental disorders. CBT is defined as the theoretically neutral, structured, and time-limited form of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing the relationship between thoughts and behaviors.
CBT model is based on the interaction between your cognition, mood, and behavior. The cognitive model is a way of identifying how your thought process affects your emotions and behavioral responses thereby developing healthy coping mechanisms. This helps one to develop better ways of handling stressors.
So, if you are interested in a treatment approach that provides a chance of making a real change, it is high time to give an attempt at CBT.
What Does CBT Treat?
Studies reveal that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is very effective for dealing with numerous psychological disorders in women. These conditions can be brought about by reasons such as genetics, environment, family history, and experience.
Various psychological disorders, including those of moderate, severe or prolonged duration, can in various ways, interfere with the daily life of women. We know that women have different needs and requirements when it comes to substance abuse and mental disorders and hence need personalized treatment plans. This strategy involves medication together with counseling and other evidenced-based psychotherapies.
Being diagnosed with a mental health or substance use disorder is not the end of the world. It is therefore important to seek the support and environment needed to deal with mental health conditions and live productive lives. CBT is a cornerstone of our mental health programs and has proven successful in treating:
- Anger problems
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- ADHD
- Drug or alcohol problems
- Hoarding
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Perinatal mental health problems
- Phobias
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Psychosis
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Self-harm
- Stress
Furthermore, recent studies have suggested that when implemented correctly CBT can also be effective in treating physical health conditions such as:
- Chronic pain
- Insomnia
- Eating disorders
- Obesity
- Hypertension
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Migraines
- Chronic fatigue
The Long and Short-term Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Mental Health
CBT has been regarded as a light at the end of the tunnel for many who experience severe mental health disorders. It is a powerful tool offering long-term benefits for one’s mental health. Although it isn’t a ‘quick fix’, it helps individuals develop coping mechanisms to manage their symptoms of disorders such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It helps them identify and change negative thought patterns, reduces stress, and enhances everyday trigger coping skills.
At a therapeutic level, it assists them in understanding feelings and making changes in behavior and thinking. This results in a reduction in the frequency of the symptoms, a better understanding of the self, and enhanced control. CBT involves the provision of skills needed to effectively deal with problems resisting social pressure for change.
At Revelare Recovery, we pay attention to the short-term and long-term efficacy of CBT while being available for the patients all the time.
Benefits of CBT Therapy
CBT helps both children and adults, male, and female, and of average, low, or high functioning. It is frequently used in combination with medical treatment for the patient. In general, CBT is a tool that assists people to maintain good mental health and well-being.
Some benefits include:
- Reduced depressive symptoms
- Improved self-esteem
- Increased happiness
- Decreased emotional distress
- Improved problem-solving skills
- Better coping strategies
- Enhanced communication skills
- Improved interpersonal relationships
- Improved Self-efficacy in making behavioral change
- The reduction in unhealthy defense levels or styles (e.g. avoiding)
- Otherwise known as ‘self-efficacy’: confidence in one’s ability in the face of challenges.
What to Expected During CBT
Patients are assisted by a therapist and are made to understand and change negative thoughts and behaviors in CBT. Both the individual and the therapist focus on what is happening in the individual’s life at the moment. They discuss the life experiences that may have impacted them in one way or the other. CBT is often time-limited and most commonly has a predetermined number of sessions.
As such, this may depend on the program, therapy service, and the need for CBT. It can involve the use of a question-and-answer format to engage the patients in the process. Also, between meetings, assignments could be expected from them.
Indeed, homework assignments related to addressing negative thoughts are an important part of the treatment process. These tasks support the person in therapy to achieve modification of behavior even outside the therapy. Moreover, it is crucial to practice these assignments continuously to promote further progress.
