deal with you to examine your thoughts sensations and habits and the various methods they converge and truly what they’re going to be seeking to do is look at how your ideas might be adding to challenging feelings so are your ideas assisting to sustain a level of anger or sadness or fear and are there manner ins which possibly you can think about situations or individuals or yourself differently in order to feel a bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I strongly encourage you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist because it’s a reliable and evidence-based way 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 very collaborative and it’s really a group approach to examining the concerns that you deal 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 much like being back in school and so an excellent
CBT therapist is going to assign you some kind of action product or homework assignment to complete between sessions and the factor for this is truly to help you practice the skills and methods that your in session out of session and you will find that you will advance far more rapidly through the therapy process if you do your homework sort of just like in school so a couple of other things to understand about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s normally a more structured approach than other types of treatments and it includes recognizing objectives that you and the counselor consent to work with on together and the other key point is that in CBT therapy the therapist truly invites and obtains feedback on how things are going so this goes back to the idea that it’s an extremely collective approach and it’s not this
concept of the therapist having more knowledge than you however just that the therapist has know-how in various areas that they can offer and perhaps give you different methods of considering your issues one of the more common misunderstandings about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not look at your past at all or examine how your past might be impacting your present which’s really not real in CBT the focus is definitely more on the present and how you’re operating in today but to see a good CBT therapist will work with you on analyzing if there are any issues in your past that are still affecting your capability to function effectively and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to sign up for 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 counseling Christin Counseling Online
