Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thinking and seeing every situation as worse than it actually is? You may be experiencing negative thought patterns which are always unhelpful and can change how you see the world. Negative thought patterns can also lead to habit changes. These can impact your relationships, self-esteem, mental health and decision making.
In many cases, these patterns can feel automatic and overwhelming, there are ways you can use them to learn to challenge them and overcome them.
One of the solutions we offer here at My Solution Wellbeing is CBT which is a revolutionary treatment therapy that is known to have positive results for people experiencing negative thoughts and habits.
What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a type of evidence-based psychotherapy that is used to treat disorders revolving around negative thinking among other mental disorders including substance abuse and chronic pain. CBT is based on the theory that thoughts influence feelings and behaviours. CBT teaches you to change negative thought patterns and to improve overall well-being.
CBT is a form of talk therapy that is used by licensed mental health or substance use professionals and can be used in individual or group counselling.
The purpose of CBT is to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Through CBT, you can learn how to pay attention and identify incoming negative thoughts and replace them with positive or realistic thoughts. You can also avoid decisions that lead to negative behaviours.
How CBT Works

CBT provides a structured framework for individuals experiencing negative thoughts and habits to explore and modify their negative thought patterns which in turn affects their emotions and behaviours. CBT emphasises on building interconnections among thoughts, feelings and actions. The therapy enables individuals to challenge automatic cognitive distortions that may exacerbate mental health issues.
Some of the key strategies employed during CBT include the following:
- Problem-solving: You can learn to dissect issues, analyse them, and explore potential solutions together with their therapist.
- Goal–setting: During therapy, you will get structured objectives that guide the therapeutic process and help individuals stay focused and motivated.
- Self–monitoring: Individuals can track their thoughts and behaviours, increasing self-awareness and responsibility for their change process.
You don’t have to struggle with negative thoughts and habits alone. My Solution Wellbeing has qualified counsellors and therapists that can help you through the challenges through therapies such as CBT that will help you counter the negative thoughts and start building a more positive outlook towards life.
