In therapy, many people see it as a place just to talk. While this is true, another big part of therapy can be to teach coping skills to help a person deal with a wide range of problems in their life.
Skill building is usually associated with a therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as the most cutting-edge, research-supported treatment for psychological problems and disorders. CBT provides a simple way of understanding challenging situations and the reactions to them some people can have.
Another helpful approach that teaches a person new skills is a therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Its main goals is to teach people how to live in the moment, cope healthily with stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships with others.
The interesting thing about both therapies is that we use the techniques from these therapies all the time, but for some reason not in the moments we need them the most. With some help building new skills, or even modifying some current ones, you will be better able to cope with your concerns and worries.
