Sonia and I’m a certified clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals with a variety of mental health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of value for helping people battling with stress and anxiety depression life stress factor type problems therefore I truly want to help you understand a little bit more about it and how it works today so what is cognitive behavior modification or CBT anyhow so what CBT actually is is it’s a method a theoretical approach where a therapist will
deal with you to analyze your thoughts feelings and behaviors and the various methods they converge and truly what they’re going to be aiming to do is look at how your thoughts might be contributing to hard emotions so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or fear and are there manner ins which perhaps you can think about situations or individuals or yourself in a different way in order to feel a little bit much better so if you’re thinking about counseling I strongly encourage you to check out dealing with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and reliable way of dealing with a range of issues and concerns if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is extremely collaborative and it’s really a team technique to analyzing the issues that you fight with the other thing that individuals have maybe a little bit of trouble getting used to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get homework yes it’s just like being back in school and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to designate you some kind of action item or homework task to complete between sessions and the factor for this is truly to help you practice the abilities and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will progress much more rapidly through the treatment process if you do your homework type of similar to in school so a couple of other things to know about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s generally a more structured method than other types of therapies and it includes identifying goals that you and the counselor consent to deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT treatment the therapist really invites and solicits feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the concept that it’s a really collective method and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more knowledge than you however simply that the therapist has know-how in different locations that they can bring to bear and maybe offer you different ways of considering your problems one of the more typical misconceptions about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not take a look at your past at all or analyze how your past might be affecting your present which’s really not real in CBT the focus is certainly more on today and how you’re functioning in today but to see a good CBT therapist will deal with you on examining if there are any concerns in your past that are still impacting your capability to work efficiently and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you’ll discover a lot more material on a variety of psychological health topics and if you’re interested in discovering more about online therapy Betterhelp Counseling Weekend
