“You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.”
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
What Is CBT?
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
For example, if you think, “I can’t do this,” you may feel anxious and avoid trying. If you learn to shift that thought to something more balanced, you may feel more confident and able to take action.
