work with you to examine your ideas feelings and habits and the various ways they intersect and truly what they’re going to be seeking to do is take a look at how your thoughts might be contributing to challenging feelings so are your thoughts helping to sustain a level of anger or sadness or fear and exist ways that maybe you can think about circumstances or individuals or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly encourage you to check out working with a CBT therapist since it’s an evidence-based and reliable way of dealing with a range of problems and problems if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is very collaborative and it’s actually a team method to examining the issues that you deal with the other thing that people have maybe a little bit of difficulty getting utilized to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get research yes it’s similar to being back in school and so an excellent
