An In-Depth Look at Cognitive Behavioral Therapy w/ Melissa Donohue

Stuff My Therapist Says

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. CBT looks at the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and helps in multiple capacities with issues including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, addiction, and more.
In Episode 9 of The Makin Wellness Podcast, I am joined by fellow Makin Wellness therapist Melissa Donohue. Melissa specializes in anxiety and trauma and her expertise on CBT is incredibly valuable! Our conversation dives deep into the subject and how this form of evidence-based practice can truly make an impact if you're struggling with mental health issues today.
