Deep dives

The Unique Framework of Team CBT

Team CBT is distinct from traditional therapy methods, focusing on rapid recovery from depression and anxiety by implementing a structured approach. The acronym TEAM stands for Testing, Empathy, Assessment of resistance, and Methods, emphasizing the importance of measuring progress throughout the therapy process. This approach includes giving patients assessments to track their moods and progress in real-time, which equips therapists with clear data on the effectiveness of treatments. By valuing objective measurements over purely subjective feelings, Team CBT aims to provide an accountable and effective therapeutic experience.
