CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a talk therapy that can help manage your problems and emotions by changing the way you think and behave.
It’s most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for numerous other life issues. CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle of unhappiness.
Our Jupiter Counselors will show you how to change these negative patterns to improve the way you feel, think, and experience life. CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from your past, by focusing on practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.
What is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions. CBT sessions are delivered through structured sessions with a psychotherapist. These sessions follow a plan over a specified course of sessions to help patients reach tangible and helpful goals.
CBT is also known as ‘talking therapy’ because its focus is on dialog. You talk about your thoughts and behaviors with a psychiatrist and identify negative patterns. Our Jupiter Therapists are ready to help identify what’s hindering you and help you begin healing.
How CBT Works
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy used to treat a wide range of conditions. CBT sessions are delivered through structured meetings with a psychotherapist. These sessions follow a plan to help clients reach tangible healing goals.
CBT is also known as ‘talking therapy’ because its focus is on dialog. During sessions, our highly trained psychotherapists help you analyze your thoughts and behaviors to help you identify what is helping and hindering your healing process.
You will be encouraged to talk about your feelings, thoughts, and what’s troubling you. You might find this difficult at first, but our Jupiter therapists are here to help you feel more comfortable. They are highly-qualified, caring and non-judgmental.
CBT uses a goal-based approach to focus on specific problems. During your sessions, you’ll notice where you’re hitting these targets and where you need additional help. We are here to celebrate the triumphs and overcome the difficulties.
Different Techniques in CBT
Our Jupiter therapists use a range of different techniques available in CBT to help you overcome unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that are causing you problems. These include:
- The ABC technique; understanding the activity event, the beliefs behind the negative thoughts relating to the event, and the consequences of those negative beliefs.
- Activity scheduling to help clients to reach behavioral goals, such as engaging in new hobbies.
- Structured journaling to build your awareness of cognitive distortions that are wired into your thinking patterns.
- Safe exposure to places, objects, or ideas that are causing fear and anxiety within the therapeutic setting.
Your therapist will assess your individual needs and create a tailored plan using a variety of these techniques to help you achieve mental wellness.
Steps in CBT Therapy
CBT therapy follows these steps:
- Identifying what is troubling you. Is it a specific situation? Is it a mental health condition? Your therapist will compassionately support you to identify what the exact problem is during this first stage.
- Growing awareness about your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions around what’s troubling you.
- Identifying irrational and unhelpful thought patterns.
- Reshaping your thought patterns to overcome your problem.
The goals of Cognitive-behavioral therapy are helping you to overcome mental illness such as anxiety and depression, ridding you of maladaptive coping mechanisms and giving you lifelong self-help strategies.
