If you’re considering counseling either online or offline one of the things that you must know about is cognitive behavior modification ….Anthem Blue Cross Betterhelp…also known as CBT my name is dr. Sonia and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over ten years of experience dealing with individuals with a range of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of worth for helping people dealing with anxiety depression life stressor type issues and so I actually wish to help you understand a 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 way a theoretical method where a therapist will
work with you to examine your thoughts feelings and habits and the different methods they intersect and really what they’re going to be wanting to do is take a look at how your ideas might be adding to tough emotions so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or fear and exist ways that perhaps you can think of situations or individuals or yourself in a different way in order to feel a bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I highly encourage you to look into working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and efficient way of dealing with a variety of issues and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is really collaborative and it’s truly a group method to analyzing the problems that you struggle with the other thing that people have perhaps a bit of problem getting used to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get homework yes it’s similar to being back in school therefore a great
CBT therapist is going to assign you some kind of action item or research task to finish in between sessions and the factor for this is truly to assist you practice the abilities and techniques that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance much more rapidly through the treatment process if you do your research type of much like in school so a couple of other things to understand about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s generally a more structured method than other types of therapies and it involves determining objectives that you and the counselor accept deal with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT therapy the counselor really obtains and invites feedback on how things are going so this returns to the idea that it’s a really collaborative method and it’s not this
idea of the therapist having more knowledge than you however simply that the therapist has knowledge in different areas that they can bring to bear and perhaps offer you various methods of thinking of 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 examine how your past might be impacting your present and that’s actually not true in CBT the focus is absolutely more on today and how you’re working in the present however to see a great CBT therapist will work with you on taking a look at if there are any problems in your past that are still affecting your ability to function effectively and effectively 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 topics and if you have an interest in discovering more about online therapy Anthem Blue Cross Betterhelp
