cognitive behavioral therapy (in relation to vestibular therapy)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for vestibular issues helps individuals address the fear and anxiety related to dizziness or imbalance. It focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors that may worsen symptoms, promoting a sense of control and confidence. By gradually exposing patients to movements or situations they fear and teaching relaxation techniques, CBT reduces anxiety-related symptoms and enhances balance confidence. This approach works alongside physical vestibular therapy to improve overall recovery by addressing both the mind and body, helping patients manage and lessen the impact of vertigo and balance disorders.
