Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and researched psychological therapies for anxiety, depression, and low mood but what actually happens in CBT sessions, and how does it work?
In this episode of The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, Clinical Psychologist Dr Marianne Trent is joined by CBT therapist Sahana to explore what CBT is, how CBT works, and what clients can expect. From breaking unhelpful thought cycles to graded behavioural experiments, you’ll discover how CBT helps people with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and more.
Whether you’re thinking about accessing CBT therapy, supporting someone else, or training as a psychologist, this conversation gives you a clear, compassionate understanding of CBT and why it’s such a practical and empowering approach.
