  • Long standing depression and anxiety often come with habits; mental, personal, emotional, relational, hygiene. These habits can establish a negative cycle- don’t feel like doing anything because depressed > depressed because didn’t leave the couch today, etc.

    CBT is about managing behaviors and won’t really go into rehashing every bad thing that’s ever happened to you. Some therapists list CBT on there About Me section, but then just do regular talk therapy, where that’s basically all you do.

    If your life, health, relationships and career are all fine and you purely struggle with unpleasant feelings that are effectively medicated away without unwanted side effects, then there would be no need for CBT.
