How to know if CBT is right for you

It might be a good fit if:

  1. You’re willing to actively participate in therapy and apply strategies outside of sessions.
  2. You want a structured, goal-oriented approach to tackling your problems.
  3. You prefer practical tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors rather than a deep exploration of past experiences (though previous events may still be addressed).
  4. You struggle with negative thought patterns, like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, or excessive self-criticism.
  5. You like the idea of learning skills that can be applied long after therapy ends.
  6. You’re open to keeping track of your thoughts, feelings, and actions through exercises like journaling or worksheets.
