CBT cognitive behavioural therapy explained

Image
CBT Cognitive behavioural therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of  psychotherapy  that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviours, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. Considered a "solutions-oriented" form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior. Feeling distressed, in some cases, may distort one’s perception of reality. CBT aims to identify harmful thoughts, assess whether they are an accurate depiction of reality, and, if they are not, employ strategies to challenge and overcome them. CBT is appropriate for people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Evidence has mounted that CBT can address numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder,  anxiety  disorders, post- traumatic   stress  disorder, eating disorders,  obsessive-compulsive  disorders, and many others. CBT is a preferred modality of therapy ...

HOW TO OVERCOME MINDSET BLOCKS AND LIMITING BELIEFS

 Overcome mindset blocks  We hold ourselves back from doing a lot of things. We like to blame our circumstances and other people, but we hold ourselves back more than we might like to admit or even realize. If you have this amazing goal or plan for your future, it can be hard to follow through if your mind isn’t in the right place. This is why I teach CBT cognitive behavioural therapy. It could be related to finding a partner, asking for a promotion, starting a family, or even moving to another country, Or even losing weight.  When your mindset around these things is skeptical, critical, or untrusting, it’s going to be that much harder to make your plans happen. This is why CBT is helpful for this type of thing.  To make the changes you’ve been wanting to make for years, it’s time to take a look at your current mindset and see where you might be holding yourself back. In this post, I’m sharing some tips to help you identify and reconstruct your current mindset around...

Restoring our energy is important for the body and mind on a daily basis as we put pressure on ourselves too often. So here is my list of things self care rituals to reclaim your energy back. 1. Sit in nature pause - when we pause in nature we give ourselves time to think space to breathe, so we can make the best decisions. Each time we pause, we take small steps towards rebalancing and reconnecting with who we really are, our dreams and deepest desires.  Plus you your dose of vitamin D by sitting in the sun.

Dealing with troubled emotions

Image
Most important part in the chain of emotional causation has been left out yourself! In order to experience an emotional reaction to an event, you first have to evaluate the personal experience of that event.  A - activating event: end of relationship  B - beliefs or thoughts: without her, I'm worthless without him or her  C - emotional and behavioral consequences: depression and withdraw from social activities You may say that A caused C when really in CBT language this is called A-C thinking (events cause our emotions). This viewpoint overlooks individual variations of the same event which is not uncommon. Not everyone feels depressed about the end of a relationship one person is anxious about coping alone, another is angry which is normal. In order to understand C you need to focus on B not A this is called B-C thinking our beliefs and thoughts at B ultimately determine how you feel at C. To choose one's attitude in any given situation or circumstances to cope with adve...
