What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
The core concept behind the CBT is known as the CBT triangle. This model illustrates the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It demonstrates how negative thought patterns can lead to distressing emotions and unhelpful behaviors, and vice versa.
