Sonia and I’m a certified scientific 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 great deal of value for assisting individuals having problem with anxiety depression life stressor type issues and so I really want to help you understand a little bit more about it and how it works today so what is cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT anyway so what CBT really is is it’s a method a theoretical approach where a therapist will
deal with you to examine your thoughts sensations and habits and the different ways they intersect and actually what they’re going to be aiming to do is take a look at how your ideas might be adding to hard emotions so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or sadness or worry and are there manner ins which maybe you can think about scenarios or people or yourself in a different way in order to feel a bit better so if you’re considering counseling I highly encourage you to check out dealing with a CBT therapist because it’s a effective and evidence-based way of dealing with a range of issues and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is very collaborative and it’s truly a team approach to analyzing the concerns that you battle with the other thing that individuals have maybe a bit of trouble getting used to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get research yes it’s just like being back in school therefore an excellent
CBT therapist is going to assign you some sort of action item or research task to complete in between sessions and the factor for this is actually to help you practice the skills 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 much like in school so a few other things to learn about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s typically a more structured technique than other types of treatments and it includes determining objectives that you and the counselor consent to deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT treatment the therapist really obtains and invites feedback on how things are going so this returns to the concept that it’s an extremely collaborative approach and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more understanding than you however simply that the counselor has proficiency in different locations that they can offer and perhaps provide you different ways of thinking about your problems among the more common misconceptions about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not look at your past at all or examine how your past might be impacting your present and that’s really not real in CBT the focus is absolutely more on today and how you’re operating in today but to see an excellent 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 function successfully and successfully today if you like this video please do not hesitate to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more material on a range of mental health subjects and if you have an interest in learning more about online counseling Better Help Unlimited Counseling Plan
