Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Dr. Melissa C. Stöppler, the About Guide to Stress, writes, "The goal of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is 'cognitive restructuring' - in other words, changing the way we think. More specifically, CBT attempts to change the way we think and act in certain situations that result in damaging or unpleasant consequences. CBT trains the thought-behavior response cycle by reinforcing healthy, rational thinking and appropriate behavioral responses." Read more about CBT.
