Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a successful short-term method of psychotherapy  used to address immediate challenges. “Cognitive” refers to thought processes, as well as knowledge and perception. “Behaviour” refers to our actions and decisions. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy emphasizes examination of the thoughts and beliefs connected to our mood, behaviours, and physical experiences and to the events in our lives. A central idea in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is that our perception of an event or experience powerfully affects our emotional, behavioural, and physiological responses to it.

This course will guide you to identify your thoughts, moods, behaviours and physical reactions in small situations as well as during major life events. You will learn to test the meaning and usefulness of various thoughts locking into dysfunctional moods, behaviours and in relationship interactions. In addition, you will learn how to make changes in your life when your thoughts are alerting you to problems that need to be solved.

*CBT for Anxiety is a virtually based class taught in a small group format (up to 12 people).
