What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT was created by Aaron Beck in the 1960s and has been studied for decades since its creation. It is a highly effective strategy to battle many mental health disorders. It may even be as effective or more effective than other types of therapy and medication, particularly for treating anxiety and depression.
CBT can help people restructure how they think and feel about themselves and the world around them.
The therapy technique focuses on a few points:1. Having problems with mental health is often centered around faulty and unhelpful ways of thinking.
2. Negative thought behavior is learned and therefore can be unlearned.
3. People with mental health problems can learn better coping strategies to deal with negative thoughts and feelings through CBT.
4. Anxious and depressive thoughts and feelings can be restructured from a negative tone to a neutral one, allowing a person space to see the issue (or non-issue) through a new lens. -

“Cognitive” refers to what one thinks. “Behavioral” relates to actions. “Education” speaks to inputting new thoughts. Part of the educating process is to hold one accountable, recognizing that there are consequences to our actions. Thoughts lead to actions; wrong actions result in sin. James 1:14-15.

Honestly I’m not very familiar with this but it involves helping and training an individual to better deal with issues he or she will confront in life and make better decisions or choices. This type of education when tied with a presentation of the gospel will potentially assist in reducing the recidivism rate that plagues our correctional systems
