All The Therapies

Welcome to the final episode of season 2 of All the Therapies! A huge thanks to everyone who has tuned in! We've saved the best for last... CBT!

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (or CBT for short) is one of the most recognizable forms of therapy, but how does it work exactly? Listen in to hear Mona’s experience trying CBT, how she actively collaborated with the therapist and got to the root of her problem by identifying a core belief.

If you’ve heard of CBT and are curious to learn more, this episode is definitely for you!
