      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Nick Anderson

      Introduction

      Phobias. Depression . Anxiety. Post-traumatic stress. Well, there's been a massive shift in the world of psychiatry to finding biological bases for these conditions (and their matching chemical therapies). It appears that we've reached a point where treatment emphasis focuses too heavily on medication.

      The truth? While many people are helped by pharmaceutical products, there are many others who simply can't tolerate such medication. What happens to these people? What kind of options do they have? On top of that in addition to these individuals, there are also other people who just don't want to try any kind of meditation at all.

      What about them? Is there any treatment available for them? This is where cognitive behavioral therapy (or 'CBT') comes in. Cognitive behavioral therapy works with the way the human mind processes stimuli and perceived reality. By retraining the mind to handle certain memories and stimuli a certain way, people can be taught to handle post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and phobias better.

      There are two ways to do CBT: psychiatrist or psychologist mediated and supervised and personal CBT. Personal CBT involves adopting a thinking technique that is based on our personal terms and on our schedule. This is not professionally mediated and supervised.

      CBT as a whole enables us to separate our feelings from our thoughts, live lives in perspective, focus on the big picture, keep our eyes on the things that truly matter, maintain balance, and control stress. In other words, with proper CBT training, we would be able to train our minds to work for us instead of against us.

      Left undisciplined, it's very easy for our minds to adopt negative mental habits which can produce a lot of unnecessary stress, tension, and negative coping behaviors. These can lead to low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, damaged or strained relationships, and lower life success. The bottom line is quite simple and straightforward: cognitive behavioral therapy enables people to live fuller lives by controlling how their mind works.

      Chapter 1: The Root Of Unnecessary Stress And Depression

      It's easy to think that depression and stress are automatic. It's tempting to believe that once you start feeling stressed or you start feeling down, there's really nothing you can do about it. It just takes a life of its own and you are going to be in for one hell of a ride. We feel that when a certain thought or trigger enters our minds, we really can't control our emotions. Soon enough, we start reacting in a negative way.

      These range of negative emotions don't just stay in our heads. Sooner or later, we find ourselves saying negative things and doing negative things. What makes this so frustrating is the fact that we do this repeatedly despite the following. First, we know better. After all, we've seen this happen before.

      Maybe the thought of your ex-boyfriend cheating on you triggers you to overeat or to lash out by treating your current boyfriend badly. You know what happens. You can see the pattern. You know better but you keep repeating the pattern over and over again. Next, we end up in this negative cycle of thoughts and actions despite the fact that we know the end result is bad.

      We've seen it before. We know the bad effects. We know what happens when we start detecting these very negative emotions. But we sit back and let it happen. We know what's going to happen. We let it play out anyway. It's as if you are watching a movie of your life. It feels that there's really nothing you can do except to stay in the seat and just watch the movie play out.

      You want to turn your head but you can't help but look at the screen. At the back of your mind, you're hoping against hope that somehow someway the ending this time will be different. But you know better. We end up with this negative pattern of thoughts, language, and actions despite the fact that we hate the bad effects. It's not enough that we know that there will be bad effects. We hate the effects. It's not like you want these things to happen. Still, despite the fact that you know that this will end badly and that you hate what this does to your life, you do it anyway.

      Finally, we remain trapped in this cycle despite the fact that other people are telling us that this is a bad thing. It's not like this is subjective. It's not like you're just seeing this from a negative perspective. This is objectively bad.

      Other people are telling you to your face. They're not hiding it from you. They're not whispering behind your back. They are telling you in no uncertain terms. Maybe they say it out of concern. Maybe your friends want to help you. Or maybe people just want you to cut it out. Whatever their motivations may be, this negative chain reaction that you're feeling and acting out is an objective problem.

      You Are On An Emotional Rollercoaster

      The root of this issue really boils down to the fact that you are on an emotional rollercoaster. Every single day, your senses detect thousands of stimuli from the outside world. The way your mind is set up or trained filters these stimuli. You have to understand that these stimuli apply to people around you. You're all picking up the same signals.

      But the effect on you is going to be different because of the way your mind turns the stimuli into thoughts. Your perception of these stimuli is the first step in the emotional rollercoaster that you're riding. This is the first stage in the emotional rollercoaster you're riding. You analyze or read the things that you choose to be aware of. As the old saying goes, there are always two sides to the story. 

      Well, given how chaotic and complicated life is, there are at least two sides to the story. There's probably
