      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Alex C. Wolf

      Chapter 1: What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

      Before you can start working with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you need to understand what CBT is.

      CBT is a form of psychotherapy that places emphasis on how important it is to think about how you feel and what you are doing because you feel those feelings.

      CBT theories and skills are going to rely on the theories that are taught with the inductive method.

      CBT is based on a cognitive model that is based on emotional responses.

      Cognitive behavioral therapy is structured around an educational model.

      CBT does have a time limit.

      CBT is direct and structured so that you have to follow a set of specific steps in order to achieve your goal.

      CBT also uses the Socratic method in order to help you achieve your goal.

      Establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is necessary for getting the most out of your therapy sessions, but for CBT it is not the primary goal.

      CBT is going to be a joint effort that comes from both you and your therapist.

      Keep in mind that cognitive behavioral therapy is not going to be a distinct therapeutic technique. This term is actually a general term that is used when classifying therapies that are similar. There are a couple different approaches that a therapist can use when working with CBT. A few other CBT therapies include dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, rational behavior therapy, rational emotive behavior, as well as rational living therapy.

      Now, almost every cognitive behavior therapy is going to have some of these attributes.

      CBT is going to be based on a cognitive model that is based off an emotional response. The idea behind this therapy is to look at your thoughts and how they affect your feelings and the way you act it will not focus on external stimulation like the events, people, or situations that you find yourself in. This will benefit you because you will be able to change how you react to your current situation without the situation ever changing.

      CBT is one of the therapies that are more rapid in terms of when you begin to see results. Most patients do not exceed sixteen sessions. There are other forms of therapy such as psychoanalysis that takes several years. CBT is able to be shorter because of how instructive it is and because it provides you with homework assignments. CBT is a time-limited therapy because the therapist is there to help you understand that there is a point in which your therapy will end. When the formal therapy will end will be decided between you and your therapist. This means that Cognitive behavioral therapy is not going to be open-ended therapy that never ends!

      There are therapy types that have a desire to heal people which means that there has to be a strong and positive relationship between you and your therapist. However, CBT thinks a trusting relationship is important but that is not where it ends. CBT therapist believes that you will only be able to change when you learn how to think and act differently based on what you learn in therapy. Therefore, CBT focuses on self-counseling skills.

      CBT will be between you and your therapist. Your therapist will try and target what it is that you want out of your life so that they can help you achieve those goals. Their role is to teach, encourage, and listen while you express your concerns, learn, and implement what you learn in therapy.

      Not every CBT will place a special emphasis on stoicism. Rational behavior, rational emotive behavior therapy, and rational living therapy will place an emphasis on the aspects seen in stoicism. However, Beck's therapy is not founded on these principles. CBT does not focus on telling you how to feel, but why they feel that way. Stoicism teaches the benefits of why you feel that way such as why you are calm when you are confronted with an undesirable situation. It also places emphasis on the fact that you will always have these undesirable situations no matter if you are upset about them or not. When you discover that you are upset about your problems, then you have several problems you need to solve. The problem that you were dealing with in the first place and the fact that you feel upset about it. There are a lot of people who want to have the least amount of problems as possible. Therefore, you have to learn to be calm and accept your problem; this will not only help you to feel better, but you will be putting yourself in a better situation so that you can make better use of your resources and knowledge in order to solve the problem.

      Even though CBT doesn't place special emphasis on the Socratic method, it does use it. Many therapists want to get a better understanding of what their client is concerned about. This is why they are going to ask questions. They also want you to ask questions as well!

      CBT is direct and structured! There will be a set schedule for each CBT session. These techniques and concepts are taught at each session while focusing on your goals. You will not be told what your goals should be or what you need to tolerate. Instead, you will receive a sense of direction. Therefore, with CBT sessions you will be told how to do what you want instead of what you need to do.

      CBT has established off an educational model. Because CBT is established on the supposition that almost all responses—whether they be emotional or behavioral—are learned. CBT has the objective to help you unlearn things you do not want when you are reacting to life so you can relearn how you do want to act. This means that CBT is not a talking therapy. The educational emphasis for CBT helps with long-term results. Whenever you understand why and how you are doing well, you will know what to keep doing to keep seeing those results.

      CBT has theories and techniques that depend on the inductive method. The main goal of reasonable thinking is that it is based completely on fact. Most of the time you may find yourself upset about things whenever the situation is not like you think it is. But, when you know that, you will not spend your time upsetting yourself over it. This is why the inductive method helps to encourage you to examine your thoughts as a hypothesis that can be tested. In the event that you find your hypotheses is incorrect due to the discovery of new information then you can change how you think and look at the situation as it really is.

      Pros of CBT

      The skills that you acquire in CBT are helpful, beneficial, and practical approaches which you will be able to incorporate into your daily life so you can cope well with any unpleasant situations that you will find yourself in the future even once you have finished your treatment.

      CBT can be as effective as any medication that is used when treating mental health disorders. It can even be helpful when the medication on its own has not worked.

      The well-thought-out nature of CBT can be offered in multiple presentations as well as self-help books, computer programs, and groups.

      CBT can be finished in a short amount of time, unlike talk therapies.

      CBT will
