Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a very active type of counseling. During cognitive-behavioral therapy, the counselor will:
- Teach you about your illness, its symptoms, and how to recognize when an episode of illness is likely to occur.
- Help you change thinking and behavior patterns.
- Teach you different ways to handle problems.
- Help you identify stress or triggers for illness episodes in order to reduce or stop these episodes.
