Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Explained

Imagine you have a magic notebook where you write down your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, you might write things like, "I'm not good at this," or "Nobody likes me." These are called negative thoughts.

CBT helps you turn these negative thoughts into positive ones. For example, if you think, "I'm not good at this," CBT might help you change that thought to, "I'm learning and getting better every day."

CBT also helps you change your behaviors. Let's say you're scared of riding a bike because you fell once. CBT might help you practice riding a little bit every day until you're not scared anymore.

So, CBT is like using your magic notebook to change negative thoughts into positive ones and helping you face your fears by taking small steps.
