What CBT actually involves

• 1

  Structured and time-limited

  CBT usually works to a plan with an agreed focus, rather than open-ended conversation. Many people have a sense of the shape of the work early on.

• 2

  Thoughts, feelings, behavior

  The approach looks at how those three feed each other, and at the patterns that keep a problem going day to day.

• 3

  Practice between sessions

  Work often continues outside the room, trying things out and noticing what happens. That is a normal part of the method, not extra homework.
