Sonia and I’m a licensed medical psychologist with over 10 years of experience dealing with people with a variety of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of worth for helping people fighting with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type problems and so I truly want 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 truly is is it’s a method a theoretical method where a therapist will
work with you to analyze your thoughts sensations and habits and the various methods they intersect and truly what they’re going to be aiming to do is look at how your thoughts might be adding to tough feelings so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or sadness or worry and are there ways that possibly you can consider circumstances or people or yourself in a different way in order to feel a bit much better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly encourage you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist since it’s an evidence-based and reliable way of dealing with a variety of problems and concerns if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is very collaborative and it’s really a team approach to taking a look at the problems that you struggle with the other thing that individuals have perhaps a little bit of problem getting utilized to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get research yes it’s much like being back in school and so a good
CBT therapist is going to appoint you some type of action product or homework project to complete in between sessions and the reason for this is really to help you practice the skills and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will progress a lot more quickly through the treatment process if you do your research kind of much like in school so a few other things to understand about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s generally a more structured technique than other types of treatments and it includes recognizing goals that you and the therapist consent to deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT therapy the therapist really obtains and welcomes feedback on how things are going so this returns to the idea that it’s a really collective approach and it’s not this
idea of the therapist having more knowledge than you but simply that the counselor has know-how in different locations that they can bring to bear and perhaps provide you various methods of considering your problems one of the more common 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 real in CBT the focus is definitely more on the present and how you’re functioning in today but to see an excellent CBT therapist will work with you on examining if there are any problems in your past that are still affecting your ability to work efficiently and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to sign up for our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more material on a variety of mental health subjects and if you have an interest in learning more about online counseling Betterhelp Volunteer
