Despite the several benefits, stress relief therapies such as Cognitive

behavior therapy, are most of the time misunderstood. This is an attempt

from a cognitive behavioral therapy center to help you bust the common

myths surrounding therapy.

You must be crazy if you are in therapy!

There are millions of total healthy people who seek a therapist for a variety

of reasons and it is not because they are crazy. Seeking solutions, helping to

find direction, equipping self to handle challenges are usually some of the

important things a therapy can offer.

Therapy is a Transaction

As a matter of fact, CBT is a process to realization. It helps you understand

yourself better and it is not completed at one shot or two for that matter. It

is a learning process and enables individuals to unlock answers to questions

that have been clouding their minds for a long, long time.

Therapy is just about Advice!

Page 8: Funny Myths of Stress Relief (Cognitive Behavior) Therapies

There is a popular misconception that therapists of a cognitive behavioral

therapy center or any stress relief center rattle out advice. But what

happens in real is that, there is no such advice-giving activity during the

therapy. All therapists do is to help you fix yourself. They help you get on the

path of self-awareness and let you solve your problems.

Therapy is just like visiting a Doctor for treatment

Page 10: Funny Myths of Stress Relief (Cognitive Behavior) Therapies

You visit a doctor, explain your pains or troubles and get a medication for it.

This is not what happens in a tested and proved therapy although many

people think that this happens particularly at a center for behavioral

therapy. Although, problems like depression are considered to be handled

well with medications, Psychotherapy is a process of discovery where

medications are not the primary element of the rule book.

Therapists read minds

Page 12: Funny Myths of Stress Relief (Cognitive Behavior) Therapies

There is nothing like reading minds, leave alone an expert of a cognitive

behavior therapy center. If you have genuine problems and want a solution

for them, then you just got to explain to the therapist all your inhibitions,

problems and troubles. Providing them half the personal info and waiting for

them to decipher the rest never really helps you at any stage. In a center for

behavioral therapy, different exercises constitute a treatment program and

they are all individually and collectively responsible for the results.

Cognitive behavior therapy represents a series of activities that culminate in

a positive result. A cognitive behavioral therapy center can put the patients

through different forms of therapy that are directed to equip an individual

with coping strategies so that he or she can handle problems better

whenever they arise. Hence, this form of therapy is focused to offer long

term benefits rather than just operating as a quick fix.
