Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
In behavioural therapy, people learn how to change their behaviour.
The most common behavioural techniques are used in the treatment of anxiety disorders: desensitization, relaxation and breathing exercises.
Cognitive therapy focuses on thoughts, assumptions and beliefs.
