How it works
Targets rumination and social withdrawal that develop as SAD progresses. Builds behavioural activation strategies tailored to winter limitations and addresses seasonal-specific cognitive patterns.
The most studied CBT for SAD (CBT-SAD by Rohan et al.) includes behavioural activation specifically designed for winter. More durable than light therapy across subsequent winters without re-treatment.
Finding a practitioner
