Treatment of Long-Term Health Conditions (LTHC) Using CBT

Living with a long-term health condition (LTHC) can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, a progressive disease, or another ongoing health challenge, it’s normal to experience not just physical symptoms, but emotional distress as well. Many people with LTHCs find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, and a sense of helplessness. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. While medical treatments are important, therapy—particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—can provide crucial support by addressing the emotional and psychological impact of chronic illness. In this blog post, we’ll explore how CBT can be an effective tool for managing LTHCs, how it can improve overall well-being, and how it can be tailored to your unique needs.
