If you’re thinking about counseling either online or offline among the important things that you need to know about is cognitive behavioral therapy ….Talkspace Internship…also known as CBT my name is dr. Sonia and I’m a certified medical psychologist with over ten years of experience dealing with individuals with a variety of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and believe that has a lot of value for helping individuals dealing with anxiety depression life stressor type problems therefore I actually 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 actually is is it’s a method a theoretical technique where a therapist will
deal with you to analyze your ideas feelings and habits and the different methods they intersect and truly what they’re going to be seeking to do is take a look at how your ideas might be adding to challenging emotions so are your thoughts assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or fear and are there manner ins which maybe you can think of situations or people or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I highly motivate you to look into working with a CBT therapist due to the fact that it’s an evidence-based and efficient way of dealing with a variety of issues and issues if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to find that the work is extremely collective and it’s really a team approach to examining the problems that you struggle with the other thing that individuals have perhaps a little bit of trouble getting utilized to or accepting with CBT therapy is that you will get homework yes it’s just like being back in school therefore a good
CBT therapist is going to appoint you some kind of action item or homework task to finish in between sessions and the factor for this is really to help you practice the skills and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will progress a lot more rapidly through the therapy process if you do your homework kind of much like in school so a few other things to understand about cognitive behavioral therapy are that it’s generally a more structured method than other types of therapies and it includes identifying goals that you and the counselor consent to work with on together and the other key point is that in CBT therapy the therapist really solicits and invites feedback on how things are going so this returns to the concept that it’s a really collective approach and it’s not this
concept of the therapist having more understanding than you however just that the counselor has know-how in different locations that they can offer and possibly provide you various ways of considering 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 take a look at how your past might be affecting your present which’s really not real in CBT the focus is definitely more on today and how you’re functioning in today but to see a great CBT therapist will deal 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 feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more material on a variety of psychological health topics and if you have an interest in discovering more about online counseling Talkspace Internship
