• Many mental health problems come down to a lack of awareness of our own thoughts, feelings, and core beliefs. Being your own therapist requires the willingness to be honest, ask questions, and courageously take action according to the insights you glean.


• In CBT, we understand that not all thoughts are for our benefit, and that thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. What has been learned can be unlearned, and we can take automatic, negative, unhelpful, and unconscious thoughts and deliberately transform them into conscious, helpful ones that allow us to live the kind of lives we want to live.
