deal with you to analyze your thoughts sensations and behaviors and the various ways they intersect and truly what they’re going to be looking to do is take a look at how your thoughts might be adding to difficult feelings so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or sadness or fear and are there ways that perhaps you can think about scenarios or people or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I strongly motivate you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and reliable way of handling a range of problems and concerns if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is extremely collective and it’s really a team method to taking a look at the issues that you struggle with the other thing that individuals have maybe a little bit of trouble getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get research yes it’s just like being back in school and so a good
CBT therapist is going to designate you some sort of action item or homework task to complete in between sessions and the reason for this is really to assist 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 therapy process if you do your research sort of similar to in school so a couple of other things to know about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s typically a more structured approach than other types of therapies and it includes identifying objectives that you and the therapist consent to deal with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT therapy the counselor actually solicits and welcomes feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the idea that it’s a very collaborative approach and it’s not this
idea of the therapist having more understanding than you but just that the therapist has know-how in various areas that they can bring to bear and possibly offer you different ways of thinking of your issues among the more typical mistaken beliefs 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 definitely more on today and how you’re working in the present but to see a good CBT therapist will deal with you on examining if there are any problems in your past that are still affecting your ability to operate efficiently and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to register for our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more content on a variety of psychological health subjects and if you’re interested in finding out more about online counseling Christian Counseling Online Accepts Medicare And Masshealth Payment
