How do I know Cognitive Behavior Therapy will work for me?

If you have a particular problem that you want to address, then you are best suitable for CBT, because it works through having a specific focus and goals. It may be less suitable for someone who feels vaguely unhappy or unfulfilled, but who doesn’t have troubling symptoms or a particular aspect of their life they want to work on. The Cognitive Behavior Therapeutic practices at The Empowerment Garden are designed for people who are willing to take an honest look at their self and to do the work it will take to make the desired changes in their behavior.

How is Cognitive Behavior Therapy different from other types of therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy differs from many other types of psychotherapies because sessions have a structure, rather than the person talking freely about whatever comes to mind. At the beginning of the therapy, you will meet with a therapist at the Empowerment Garden to describe specific problems and to set goals you want to work towards. The problems may be troublesome symptoms, such as sleeping badly, not being able to socialize with friends, or difficulty concentrating on reading or work. Or they could be life problems, such as being unhappy at work, having trouble dealing with an adolescent child, or being in an unhappy marriage. An important advantage of cognitive behavioral therapy is that it tends to be short, taking four to seven months for most emotional problems. Our clients attend one session per week, each session lasting approximately 50 minutes. During this time, you and therapist will work together to understand what the problems are and to develop a new strategy for tackling them. Your cognitive behavior therapist will teach you to a set of principles that you can apply to any situation throughout your lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can substantially reduce the symptoms of many emotional disorders – clinical trials have shown a measurable difference in individuals receiving CBT over other types of therapy. In the short term, it’s just as good as drug therapies at treating depression and anxiety disorders. And the benefits may last longer. The research suggests that CBT helps bring about a real change that goes beyond just feeling better while the patient stays in therapy. This is just some of the reasons Cognitive Behavior Therapy is becoming so popular.
