Sonia and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals with a range of mental health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and believe that has a lot of worth for helping people struggling with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type issues therefore I really want to help you comprehend a 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 technique where a therapist will
deal with you to examine your ideas 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 thoughts might be contributing to hard feelings so are your thoughts assisting to sustain a level of anger or sadness or worry and are there manner ins which maybe you can consider scenarios or individuals or yourself in a different way in order to feel a bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly motivate you to check out working with a CBT therapist since it’s an evidence-based and efficient way of dealing with a range of problems and problems if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is really collaborative and it’s truly a group method to analyzing the problems that you have problem with the other thing that people have maybe a little 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 and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to assign you some sort of action item or research assignment to complete in between sessions and the reason for this is actually to help you practice the skills and techniques that your in session out of session and you will find that you will progress a lot more rapidly through the therapy procedure if you do your research sort 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 identifying objectives that you and the therapist accept deal with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT therapy the counselor really welcomes and solicits feedback on how things are going so this returns to the idea that it’s a really collaborative technique and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more understanding than you but just that the counselor has competence in different locations that they can bring to bear and possibly give you various methods of thinking of your issues one of the more typical misconceptions about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not look at your past at all or examine how your past might be affecting your present which’s really not true in CBT the focus is absolutely more on today and how you’re functioning in the present however to see a great CBT therapist will work with you on taking a look at if there are any concerns in your past that are still impacting your ability to work successfully 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 material on a variety of psychological health topics and if you’re interested in discovering more about online counseling My Take On Betterhelp
