Sonia and I’m a licensed scientific psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals with a variety of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a great deal of value for helping individuals struggling with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type issues therefore I truly want to help you comprehend a little bit more about it and how it works today so what is cognitive behavior modification 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 feelings and behaviors and the different ways they intersect and actually what they’re going to be seeking to do is look at how your ideas might be adding to hard feelings so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and are there ways that possibly you can think of circumstances or individuals or yourself differently in order to feel a bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I strongly motivate you to look into working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and efficient way of handling a variety of problems and concerns 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 examining the concerns that you battle with the other thing that individuals have maybe a little bit of difficulty getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get research yes it’s much like being back in school and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to assign you some kind of action item or homework assignment to complete between sessions and the factor for this is really to help you practice the abilities and strategies that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance far more quickly through the therapy process if you do your research type of much like in school so a few other things to understand about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s typically a more structured approach than other types of therapies and it involves determining objectives that you and the counselor agree to deal with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT treatment the therapist actually invites and gets feedback on how things are going so this returns to the idea that it’s a very collective technique and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more understanding than you however simply that the therapist has proficiency in various areas that they can offer and possibly give you various methods of thinking of your problems among the more typical mistaken beliefs about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not look at your past at all or analyze how your past might be affecting your present which’s actually not true in CBT the focus is definitely more on the present and how you’re functioning in today but to see a great CBT therapist will deal with you on examining if there are any issues in your past that are still impacting your ability to operate 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 content on a variety of psychological health topics and if you’re interested in discovering more about online counseling Gil Margolin Talkspace
