Abstract

Domestic violence remains a pervasive issue with profound psychological consequences for survivors, often leading to trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a drastic reduction in self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as an effective therapeutic intervention for addressing these psychological impacts. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of CBT in improving the psychological well-being of survivors of domestic violence, particularly focusing on its role in enhancing self-esteem, self-love, and mindfulness, as well as its ability to reduce negative symptoms such as trauma, PTSD, and depression. Using a systematic literature review methodology, the study analyzed twelve relevant studies published between 2019 and 2025. The findings reveal that CBT significantly improves positive psychological outcomes, including self-esteem and self-love, while also effectively alleviating symptoms of trauma, PTSD, and depression. Additionally, CBT fosters emotional regulation and enhances mindfulness, contributing to the survivor's overall well-being and resilience. The implications of this research suggest that CBT should be widely integrated into interventions for survivors of domestic violence, offering a structured and culturally sensitive approach to healing. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of CBT and its application in diverse cultural contexts to strengthen its efficacy and impact.
