Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Is a way of talking about:
How you think about yourself, the world and other people? How what you do affects your thoughts and feelings?
CBT can help you to change how you think ("Cognitive") and what you do ("Behaviour)". These changes can help you to feel better. Unlike some of the other talking treatments, it focuses on the "here and now" problems and difficulties. Instead of focusing on the causes of your distress or symptoms in the past, it looks for ways to improve your state of mind now.
It has been found to be helpful in:
Anxiety - Depression - Panic - Agoraphobia and other phobias - Social phobia - Bulimia - Obsessive compulsive disorder - Post traumatic stress disorder -Schizophrenia.
CBT is a very effective way of learning to rationalise your thinking into a way that appears to make sense.

Stress – How the body responds to stress
The stress response is the body's natural defence mechanism for dealing with danger. If activated for short periods of time the stress response will not cause the individual undue harm. However, if it is activated and sustained over long periods of time then both psychological and physical damage is likely to be experienced by the individual. It consists of the secretion of certain hormones, the inhibition of others and the activation of particular parts of the nervous system.
