Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically-supported treatment for chronic pain and illness, anxiety, depression, sleep, family conflict, and other issues. CBT targets both sides of pain and illness by identifying and resolving stressors that trigger flare-ups, and by teaching skills to manage and minimize pain after it starts.
