CBT for Long term Health conditions

Cognitive behavioural therapy has been shown to be effective for self-management. Self-management is the process of managing your health condition on your own. This involves learning about your condition, developing a plan to manage it, and sticking to that plan. Self-management can be difficult, but it is key for maintaining control over your health.

​

CBT helps you to change the way you think about your health condition and helps you to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours affect your health condition. It also teaches you how to manage your symptoms effectively. CBT can enable you to develop a plan for managing your health, stay motivated, and deal with setbacks.
