Behavioural therapy is like teaching your brain new habits. If there’s something you want to change about how you act or feel, a behavioural therapist can help. They work with you to understand why you do certain things and then teach you new ways to behave or react. It’s all about learning new behaviours and breaking old habits to feel better and cope with life’s challenges.
