Introduction

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that how we think, how we feel, and how we act, affect each other.

For example, a person who thinks that an increased heart rate is the sign of a heart attack is more likely to panic than a person who thinks that it is just a normal variation in heart rate.

CBT uses techniques to help people become more aware of how they reason, so that they can change how they think and therefore how they behave.
