If you’re considering counseling either online or offline one of the things that you need to know about is cognitive behavior modification ….Cbu Online Counseling…likewise called CBT my name is dr. Sonia and I’m a licensed medical psychologist with over 10 years of experience dealing with people with a range of psychological health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and believe that has a great deal of worth for helping people dealing with stress and anxiety depression life stressor type problems therefore I really want to help you understand a little 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 approach where a therapist will
work with you to examine your thoughts feelings and behaviors and the different ways they converge and truly what they’re going to be wanting to do is look at how your thoughts might be contributing to tough emotions so are your thoughts assisting to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and exist ways that perhaps you can think of circumstances or people or yourself differently in order to feel a bit better so if you’re thinking about counseling I strongly motivate you to check out dealing with a CBT therapist because it’s a efficient and evidence-based method of handling a range of issues and problems if you’re dealing with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is extremely collaborative and it’s truly a group approach to examining the problems that you struggle with the other thing that individuals have maybe a little bit of problem getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s much like being back in school and so a great
CBT therapist is going to designate you some sort of action product or research task to finish between sessions and the factor for this is actually to assist you practice the skills and techniques that your in session out of session and you will discover that you will progress far more rapidly through the treatment process if you do your research kind of just like in school so a couple of other things to understand about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s generally a more structured technique than other kinds of therapies and it involves identifying goals that you and the counselor accept work with on together and the other bottom line is that in CBT treatment the counselor truly obtains and invites feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the concept that it’s a really collaborative approach and it’s not this
concept of the therapist having more understanding than you but just that the therapist has proficiency in different areas that they can bring to bear and perhaps provide you various ways of thinking of your problems among the more common mistaken beliefs about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not take a look at your past at all or analyze how your past might be affecting your present and that’s actually not true in CBT the focus is certainly more on today and how you’re working in the present but to see a good CBT therapist will work with you on examining if there are any problems 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 range of psychological health subjects and if you’re interested in learning more about online therapy Cbu Online Counseling
