Stress is generally defined as a feeling that you have when you believe you have to deal with more than you are used to, or than you can. When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger: your heart increases, your rate of breathing quickens, and everything is happening way too quickly.
Prolonged stress happenscan cause headaches, upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping and eating. It can also weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to colds and other viruses. Your mood will also be affected, significantly affecting your quality of day to day living.
The ALC team firmly believes that how we think and act has a great influence on how we feel. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, popularly referred to as CBT, is a type of psychotherapy that helps us understand that connection and helps us create options to change our behavior and subsequent emotions in a positive way.
Since CBT is based on the premise that our thoughts influence our actions and feelings, rather than external events such as people, situations, and circumstances, we are therefore more in control of our consequences than we may be aware.
Extensive research on the outcome success of cognitively based therapies support the notion that we can change the way we think and act which will result in us feeling better, even if the situation does not change.
CBT is essentially a general term, which can refer to a number of similar treatment approaches. It is considered among the most rapid in terms of results obtained. After the initial intake session, a mandate is agreed upon and specific goals are set.
Therefore, CBT has a finite time limit and not an open-ended one, which is more typical of more traditional, psychoanalytically based therapies.
