What is Cognitive behavioral therapy?

HISTORY

Three main types of cognitive therapy: Albert Ellis’s rational-emotive behavior therapy, Aaron Beck’s cognitive therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy

CBT is a combination of cognitive and behavioral therapy. Where cognitive therapy focuses on reducing self-defeating thoughts and behavioral therapy focuses on changing behavior.

Two stages of CBT: functional analysis and focusing on the actual behavior.

CBT is used for some anxiety disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse, sleep disorders, schizophrenia and depression

Slide3

What is CBT?

RESEARCH/EVIDENCE

“When we change our habitual patterns of thinking, we are also making physical changes in the brain”

Research suggests that depression is most likely caused by life influences and only 16% is genetic.

Psychotherapy especially CBT is as effective as antidepressant medications.

Patients treated with psychotherapy remained undepressed and less likely to relapse.

Slide4

Getting started: Your thoughts and your feelings

*

Your

thoughts create your

feelings*

Sadness or Depression

: Thoughts of loss.

Guilt or Shame

: Believing you hurt someone or that you failed to live up to your own moral standards.

Anger or Resentmen

t: You feel that someone is trying to take advantage of you.

Frustration

: Life falls short of your expectations.

Anxiety or Panic

: You believe you are in danger because you think something bad is about to happen.

Slide6

Your thoughts and your feelings

Inferiorit

y: You compare yourself to others and conclude that you are not as good as they are.

Loneliness

: You tell yourself that you are bound to feel unhappy because you are alone and aren’t getting enough love and attention from others.

Hopelessness

: You feel convinced that your problems will go on forever and things will never improve.

Slide7

10 forms of distorted thinking

All or nothing thinking

: You see things in black and white categories.

Overgeneralization

: You see a single, negative event as a never ending pattern of defeat. Use words such as “always” and “never”.

Mental filter

: You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively, darkening your vision of all reality.

Discounting the positive

: You reject positive experiences by insisting they “don’t’ count”.

Jumping to conclusions

: You interpret things negatively when there are no facts to support your conclusion. Mind reading: Without checking it out you arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you. Fortune-telling: You predict that things will turn out badly.

Slide8

10 Forms of distorted thinking

Magnification

: You exaggerate the importance of your problems and shortcomings, or you minimize the importance of your desirable qualities.

Emotional reasoning

: You assume that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are.

“Should” statements

: You tell yourself that things should be the way you hoped or expected them to be.

Labeling

: An extreme form of All or nothing thinking. “I made a mistake=I’m a loser”.

Personalization and blame

: You hold yourself or blame another person personally responsible for an event that isn’t entirely under control.

common self defeating attitudes and fears

It would be terrible to be rejected, abandoned, or alone. I must have love and approval before I can feel good about myself.

If someone criticizes me, it means there’s something wrong with me.

I must always please people and live up to everyone’s expectations.

Other people are to blame for my problems.

I am basically defective and inferior to other people.

The world should always be the way I want it to be.

Other people should always meet my expectations.

If I worry or feel about a situation, it will somehow make things better. It’s not really safe to feel happy and optimistic.

Slide16

10 Common self defeating attitudes and fears

I’m hopeless and bound to feel depressed forever because the problems in my life are impossible to solve.

I must always try to be perfect. There are several kinds of perfectionism that can make you unhappy:

Moralistic

Performance

Emotional

Romantic

Relationship

Appearance

Pinpoint your silent assumptions by using the “Vertical Arrow Technique”

Evaluate the consequences of the assumption using the “Cost Benefit Analysis”.

Test your belief using the “Feared Fantasy Technique”.

Slide18

CBT Healing techniques

Self-defense:

Make a list of your negative thoughts. Stand in the mirror and read your thoughts out loud using first person. Lastly defend your self critical thoughts using the second person. Use the same compassionate manner you would counsel a dear friend having a similar problem.

Acceptance

Paradox

:

Instead of defending yourself, find some truth in the thought and agree with it. This is to be done with inner peace, self esteem, and a little humor.

The Acceptance Paradox is the more powerful healing technique

Slide19

4 steps to happiness

Identify the upsetting situation. Describe the event or problem. Use who, what, where, why, and how.

Record your negative feelings. Use feeling words like sad, angry, anxious, guilty, frustrated, and hopeless. Rate each feeling on scale 0 (least) to 100 (the most).

Use the triple column technique. Write automatic thoughts in one column and rate how much you believe them from 0-100. Identify distortions in middle column. Substitute rational responses in last column and rate how much you believe them from 0-100. Remember, rational responses put the lie to the automatic thought.

Outcome. Indicate how much you now believe each automatic thought between 0-100. Then rate how much better you feel.

*Use

the Daily Mood Log to apply these

steps*
