Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) explores your past experiences and relationships to gain insight into the origins of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By building a trusting relationship with your therapist, CAT aims to help you comprehend your current situation and discover alternative, more adaptive strategies for dealing with challenges. This therapeutic approach is time-limited, typically spanning approximately 16 weeks, allowing for focused and efficient progress towards your goals. Through CAT, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms that contribute to lasting positive change.
