Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered the ‘gold standard’ of psychotherapy… and one of the reasons for this is that it gives you the skills and tools you need to address your problems as they arise in everyday life… no matter where they stem from.

Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, CBT can help you regain control – and it can be used to treat a wide range of other issues too.

Cheryl Cole, John Green, and Ellie Goulding have all spoken about their experiences with CBT… and they all make a compelling case.

The problem is, if you’re not sure whether CBT is the right route for you, the idea of committing to therapy appointments can be off-putting… and very expensive.

But the beauty of CBT is that once you understand its key principles, you don’t need a therapist to reap its benefits.

CBT is a truly accessible tool that anyone can use… as long as you understand its principles and how to apply them effectively.

And for that, you don’t need a lot of medical jargon or psychobabble… You need clear, relatable language that gets right to the core of the subject.
