deal with you to analyze your ideas sensations and behaviors and the different ways they intersect and truly what they’re going to be aiming to do is look at how your ideas might be contributing to difficult feelings so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and are there ways that maybe you can think about situations or people or yourself in a different way in order to feel a little bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly encourage you to check out working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s a efficient and evidence-based way of dealing with a variety of problems and issues if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is really collective and it’s really a team approach to analyzing the concerns that you deal with the other thing that people have maybe a little bit of trouble getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get research yes it’s much like being back in school and so a great
CBT therapist is going to designate you some sort of action product or research project to finish between sessions and the factor for this is truly to help you practice the skills and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance a lot more quickly through the therapy process if you do your homework type of just like in school so a couple of other things to learn about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s typically a more structured approach than other kinds of therapies and it includes recognizing goals that you and the counselor agree to deal with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT therapy the therapist actually invites and gets feedback on how things are going so this returns to the concept that it’s a really collective approach and it’s not this
idea of the therapist having more understanding than you however just that the counselor has competence in various locations that they can offer and perhaps offer you different methods of considering your problems one of the more common misconceptions about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not take a look at your past at all or examine how your past might be affecting your present which’s actually not real in CBT the focus is absolutely more on today and how you’re working in the present but to see a great CBT therapist will deal with you on taking a look at if there are any issues in your past that are still impacting your capability to operate effectively and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to sign up for our YouTube channel where you’ll discover a lot more content on a variety of mental health subjects and if you’re interested in discovering more about online therapy Better Help Counseling
