Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach I use in our sessions to help you understand and change the way you think and behave. Understanding Thoughts and Feelings: We’ll talk about how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors. For example, if you think, "I always fail," you might feel sad or anxious, which can lead to avoiding challenges. Identifying Negative Patterns: Together, we'll identify any negative thinking patterns or beliefs that are affecting your mood and actions. This could include all-or-nothing thinking or jumping to conclusions. Challenging Negative Thoughts: I'll help you challenge those negative thoughts. We’ll look for evidence for and against them, helping you see things from a different perspective. Setting Goals: We’ll work on setting specific goals for what you want to achieve in therapy, whether it’s feeling less anxious, improving relationships, or coping with stress more effectively. Practicing New Skills: I’ll provide you with tools and techniques that you can practice between our sessions. These might include thought record sheets, relaxation techniques, or coping strategies for difficult situations. Review and Adjust: Each session, we’ll review what’s working and what isn’t, making adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Overall, CBT is about empowering you to take control of your thoughts and actions, leading to positive changes in your life.
