Sonia and I’m a licensed medical psychologist with over ten years of experience working with individuals with a range of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and believe that has a lot of worth for helping individuals struggling with stress and anxiety depression life stress factor type concerns therefore I really wish to help you comprehend a bit more about it and how it works today so what is cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT anyway so what CBT truly is is it’s a method a theoretical approach where a therapist will
work with you to examine your thoughts sensations and habits and the various methods they intersect and truly what they’re going to be looking to do is look at how your thoughts might be adding to tough emotions so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or fear and are there manner ins which possibly you can think of scenarios or people or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I strongly encourage you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist because it’s an evidence-based and effective way of dealing with a variety of problems and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is very collective and it’s truly a group technique to examining the concerns that you deal with the other thing that individuals have possibly a bit of trouble getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s similar to being back in school and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to designate you some kind of action item or research assignment to finish between sessions and the factor for this is actually to help you practice the abilities and strategies that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance much more rapidly through the therapy process if you do your homework sort of similar to in school so a few other things to understand about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s typically a more structured technique than other kinds of treatments and it involves identifying objectives that you and the therapist consent to work with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT therapy the therapist really invites and obtains feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the idea that it’s a really collaborative technique and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more knowledge than you however simply that the counselor has expertise in different locations that they can offer and possibly offer you different methods of considering your problems among the more typical misunderstandings 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 impacting your present and that’s in fact not true in CBT the focus is definitely more on today and how you’re working in today however to see a good CBT therapist will deal with you on taking a look at if there are any concerns in your past that are still impacting your ability to work successfully and successfully today if you like this video please do not hesitate to sign up for our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more content on a variety of mental health subjects and if you’re interested in finding out more about online therapy My Take On Betterhelp
