Cognitive Behavior
What is Cognitive Behavior Therapy?

The goal of Cognitive Behavior Therapy is to try and help clients accept themselves in spite of their imperfections.

DEBT is based on the fact that we learn irrational beliefs from significant others during childhood and then recreate those beliefs throughout our own lifetime.
