| CBT Cognitive Behaviour Therapy |
What is CBT?
Cognitive behaviour therapy is a flexible approach in changing maladaptive or rigid
ways of thinking and feeling. CBT is a therapeutic intervention that is founded form
cognitive and behaviour psychological models. These human behaviours include
concepts of normal and abnormal development and emotional psychopathology. It
is not the events themselves, purely the meaning a person gives them.
Negative/anxious thought patterns that build over time, become a belief system and
fail to change. By identifying these negative or distorted perceptions, the therapist
can evaluate and change the way the patient is thinking and ultimately feeling.
Because this therapy is pertaining to the client's individual needs and focuses on
their negative/anxious thought patterns and processes, they will learn to become
more flexible and able to accept and adapt new cognitive skills. CBT therefore
encourages better coping skills and strategies and more importantly, well into the
future creates and maintains a significantly reduced relapse rate. This has been
discovered with extensive research into CBT.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that how we think
(cognition), how we act (behaviour), how we feel (emotion) and what is happening
in our bodies (physiology) all interact together. Specifically, our thoughts strongly
influence our feelings and our behaviour; therefore unhelpful, negative and
unrealistic thoughts can be a major source of distress.
WHAT IS CBT FOR?
CBT can be effective in helping people suffering from: Depression, Anxiety, Panic
Attacks, Phobias, Low Self-Esteem, Addictions, Trauma, Anger Problems and
Stress.
HOW DOES CBT WORK?
CBT addresses the vicious circles that can arise between negative thoughts, self-
defeating behaviour, difficult emotions (such as overwhelming anxiety) and
physiological reactions (such as sweating and trembling).
The aim of CBT is to empower the client to generate cognitive and behavioural
solutions to problematic aspects of his/her life. Various approaches to specific
problem areas are experimented with between the individual and the therapist.
CBT uses a variety of techniques directed at three areas: cognition, behaviour and
physiology, in order to help with emotional difficulties
– in cognitive work, individuals learn to find alternatives to their unhelpful thinking
patterns
– in behavioural work, individuals learn activity scheduling, social skills,
assertiveness etc
– in physiological work, individuals are taught relaxation techniques, meditation etc
