Sonia and I’m a licensed medical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with people with a range of mental health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of value for assisting people dealing with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type issues therefore I actually wish to assist you understand 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 way a theoretical technique where a therapist will
work with you to examine your ideas feelings 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 ideas might be contributing to difficult feelings so are your thoughts helping to sustain a level of anger or sadness or fear and are there manner ins which maybe you can think of scenarios or people or yourself differently in order to feel a bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly encourage you to look into working with a CBT therapist since it’s an evidence-based and efficient method of dealing with a variety of problems and issues if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is extremely collaborative and it’s truly a team approach to analyzing the concerns that you deal with the other thing that individuals have perhaps a little bit of problem getting used to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get research yes it’s just like being back in school therefore an excellent
CBT therapist is going to designate you some kind of action product or homework task to finish in between sessions and the factor for this is actually to assist you practice the abilities and techniques 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 homework kind of just like in school so a couple of other things to learn about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s usually a more structured technique than other types of therapies and it involves recognizing goals that you and the counselor consent to deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT treatment the therapist really solicits and invites feedback on how things are going so this returns to the idea that it’s an extremely collective approach and it’s not this
concept of the therapist having more understanding than you but simply that the counselor has know-how in different areas that they can bring to bear and perhaps give you various methods of thinking of your issues one of the more common mistaken beliefs about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not take a look at your past at all or take a look at how your past might be affecting your present which’s actually not real in CBT the focus is absolutely more on today and how you’re operating in today but to see a good CBT therapist will deal with you on taking a look at if there are any concerns in your past that are still affecting your ability to work successfully and successfully today if you like this video please feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you’ll discover a lot more content on a range of psychological health subjects and if you’re interested in learning more about online counseling Online Dmin Counseling
