Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured and solution-focused form of therapy. CBT tends to deal with the here and now - how your thoughts and behaviours are affecting you now. It recognises that events in your past have shaped the way that you currently think and behave. In particular, thought patterns and behaviours learned in childhood, however, CBT does not dwell on the past, but aims to find solutions to how to change your current thoughts and behaviours so that you can function better now and in the future. Reasons only to regret it later.
