Romeo, CBT is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, it helps you to change your thoughts and therefore your actions. For example, when you think you will never find another R a CBT approach would be to ask you to look at the evidence of such a thought, is there anything that would prove that thought is factual. It helps you to put aside all or nothing thinking, catastrophizing and many other wonderful habitual thought processes that people get themselves into. The belief is that what you think dictates what you feel. CBT would consider depression to be the result of continual negative thought processes which in turn change the chemistry in your brain not the popular medical version which says your brain chemistry is off therefore you are depressed and therefore thinking negatively. CBT is also supposed to be very good for anxiety based issues. It usually lasts six to twenty sessions and isn't meant to be a life long therapy addiction. I'm actually taking a correspondence course in a version of CBT called Rational Living Therapy which also adds hypnotherapy to the arsenal.
