CBT can help to break these negative pathways and create new, more positive pathways.

When you practice CBT, you are essentially retraining your brain to think in a more positive way. This can lead to a number of benefits, including:

• Reduced anxiety and depression
• Increased self-esteem
• Improved relationships
• Greater sense of purpose
