Sonia and I’m a certified clinical psychologist with over ten years of experience dealing with people with a range of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of value for helping individuals having problem with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type concerns and so I really wish to help you comprehend a 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 way a theoretical approach where a therapist will
deal with you to examine your thoughts feelings and behaviors and the various methods they converge and really what they’re going to be aiming to do is look at how your ideas might be contributing to tough emotions so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and exist ways that perhaps you can consider situations or individuals or yourself in a different way in order to feel a little bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I highly encourage you to check out working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s a reliable and evidence-based way of handling a range of issues and concerns if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is very collaborative and it’s really a team approach to examining the issues that you battle with the other thing that people have maybe a little bit of difficulty getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s similar to being back in school and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to appoint you some kind of action product or research task to complete between sessions and the factor for this is actually to help you practice the abilities and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance far more rapidly through the therapy procedure if you do your homework kind of similar to in school so a couple of other things to learn about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s normally a more structured method than other kinds of treatments and it includes identifying objectives that you and the counselor accept deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT therapy the counselor actually invites and solicits feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the idea that it’s a really collaborative technique and it’s not this
