What is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?| Access Health Services
CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is based on the premise that the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world around us can impact our emotions and behaviours. By changing negative thought patterns, we can change our emotional responses and behaviours, leading to improved mental health and overall well-being.
CBT has been extensively researched and has been shown to be highly effective for a range of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Just a silly little jaytim involving never died! Jason's big fat crush on his new friend.
Jason twirls in front of Babs again in case her Oracle eyes see something that he's missed. He worked hard on this, and he'd die of mortification if he there was a mistake he hadn't seen.
He won't lie, he's kind of nervous about tonight. It's been...awhile since he's gone to do something social beyond school (and boy doesn't that make him sound like a loser) and he thinks he might have gotten a little too overenthusiastic about it.
Well, Dick said it was fine but even after the coma Dick's only here every once in a blue moon and Jason isn't sure if he should take Dick's advice to heart when the man's been running around in tights since the day he was born. Plus Jason still remembers that Dick is a lying liar who lies when he thinks something would be funny or was trying to cover his ass. (Yes, he still holds that mask acne incident against him! Barbie laughed at him, Dick! Sure he now has photo evidence of Pizza Face Grayson, but still!)
Everything fits him perfectly despite that last second growth spurt that finally started showing up. A tiny thing, barely an inch but it was enough to finally push him past 5ft so he's happy.
His tunic fits perfectly and the stitching has an Alfred seal of approval. His armor is light, the leather looks good despite being made from old scraps of Bruce and Dick's outgrown clothes that have too much wear and tear to pass down. The cape swishes just the way he remembers, though a deep red instead of canary yellow. He decided against only tights by wearing some sturdy shorts over them, like an adventurer would, everything color matched for the time period.
He looks up at Babs who's giving him a bemused look and he puffs out his chest indigently.
"What?" he says tersely.
"Nothing nothing," comes the amused sing song, the kind she gets when she's teasing Dick. "I just didn't expect this to be the result of introducing you to online gaming."
Jason's cheeks warm but he has nothing to be ashamed of. Sure he's become...a geek after the accident. But he has friends, like actual friends close to his age that go to his school and not just co-workers six years older than him or a penpal from across the country.
Plus Jason can admit he was a nerd before becoming a combo nerd/geek so it's not like his reputation took a hit.
"Nothing wrong with immersion," he says.
Babs gives him a wry grin. "Nothing wrong with impressing Tim you mean?"
And Jason couldn't even be mad at Barbie about that because she's absolutely right. Tabletop was Tim's thing, and Jason was excited to try it out, but it was absolutely a new thing for him. All of this was new to Jason. After being stuck with nothing but a computer for months on end any social skills Jason might have had have atrophied and what little that remains has made Jason the picture perfect geek. And he really didn't want to screw up this friendship when it was the lifeline that Jason used to actually talk to people in real life and not in front of a screen. Well, people that aren't maladjusted larpers punching criminals.
"Seriously Barbie, does it look good? I don't wanna embarrass myself," Jason mumbles.
This time Barbara does laugh and its just as embarrassing as the last time. "Ah, what's the world come to. Robin, the boy wonder himself, worried that he's going to embarrass his best friend in front of his Wizards and Warlocks group," she says wiping an imaginary tear from her eye.
"It's Trailblazer," Jason says automatically, already having corrected Bruce, Dick, and Alfred about this for weeks.
Barbara starts laughing again and Jason resists the urge to stomp out like a child. It wouldn't be dramatic anyhow, he isn't wearing shoes and he refuses to stomp in his fantasy footwear that's basically just a metal band around his arch for support.
Once she stops laughing she finally takes pity on Jason.
"You look fine Little Bird. I don't see anything sticking out, and the outfit looks amazing. Your little fey prince character is gonna knock it out of the park," she says and Jason feels warm enough that he doesn't even correct her that he's a halfling-changeling and not a fey anything, much less a prince.
That warmth stays with him until he's in front of Tim's door. It's then that he thinks that maybe going all out was a terrible idea.
He knows that some people dress up, but it isn't like a mandatory thing. And Tim didn't say anything about needing to dress up for Jason's first tabletop night.
But Jason had been so excited. Tim didn't even finish his invitation before Jason already had a dozen designs scrambling in his head and started creating a character piece by piece. He was dragging out knowledge he hasn't touched since he was Robin. Fashion design, historical trends, and how to use them to create something tangible with the sewing lessons he had begged Alfred for back when he wanted to learn every practical skill he could. In case he got dropped like a sack of steaming shit. Crap what if they think Jason's a nerd? He had read that Traiblazer book cover to cover and made notes like it was a reading assignment! To be authentic to the setting! In case Tim's friend Ives wanted to "Um actually" Jason's meticulously created backstory and full lineage and npcs he built and sent to Tim weeks ago.
Shit, maybe Jason's more of a loser than he thought if he thinks a wizards and warlocks group is too cool for him.
He thinks about calling Alfred to pick him up and make a lie about the campaign being cancelled. Maybe he can persuade Bruce to send him back to public school instead of Gotham Academy. Then he can forget all about Tim and his goofy smile and how he puts his foot in his mouth and how cute he looked when he asked Jason to join in this game because he wanted to share something about himself with—
Jason's thoughts are cut off when the door opens. He looks up, eyes wide with anxiety in his stupid changeling halfling outfit without any shoes because he wanted to be authentic. The guy across the doorway was tall, taller than Jason (but who isn't) and taller than Tim (also not an accomplishment), blonde with glasses.
"Are you sure this guy's a senior, Tim," he says and Jason has to stop himself from punching out Tim's other friend.
Tim's head then pokes out of the door, funny wizard hat and all and just stares at Jason. For a full minute. It gets awkward fast but neither Jason or the other guy know what to say before Jason takes the plunge.
"Hey, I'm Jason, you must be Ives?" he says forcing all his nerves as deep down as he can.
Ives nods, "Sebastian Ives, don't call me by my first name."
It isn't until introductions are done that Tim comes back online.
"Hey! Jason! Wow! Your costume is really good! A changeling right?!" he says loudly, cheeks and ears a bright pink.

Hello their! I'm someone who is completely obsessed with emperors new groove! I've seen the movie over 80 times. Would you like to draw kuzco x kronk
Heck yeah! Honestly, it’s a fantastic movie- I think I’ve seen both it and The Road to El Dorado more times than a single person should haha.
Figured Kuzco and Kronk would eventually swap stories about that time Yzma tried to usurp him and Kuzco would ask to get a piggyback ride on an inflatable throne the *moment* he heard about that tent backpack contraption. Hope you like how it came out! :D

Kind of a prayer request, kind of a “I’m not sure what to think and if someone has insight I could use some”?
I started going to physical therapy at the beginning of June, and I worked with one lady, my therapist. But then she went on a vacation and an intern worked with me despite the receptionist making it sound like some of the other therapists were going to be taking over (and they are who I set up my appointments with). However, when she got back, she worked with me once, but today he worked with me again and she barely even said “hi”. I also noticed that each therapist seems to be working with two patients at the same time, which would explain why an intern is working with me but it just seems…wrong? Like, I’m paying almost a hundred dollars a visit to work with a full time therapist, not an intern. And it seems like they should only be working with one patient per appointment slot?
So, prayer request: That I’d know what to do, and have the ability to do it. I uh…am not good with confrontation or even just saying how I’m feeling, especially in this setting when I feel like I don’t really know either of the people that well at all. I don’t want to make the intern feel bad but like…this really doesn’t seem like what I was expecting or signed up for? So I’m just 🫠
