Cognitive behavioural therapy is a flexible approach in changing maladaptive or rigid
ways of thinking and feeling. It is not the events themselves, purely the meaning
a person gives them. Negative / anxious thought patterns that build over time, become
a belief system and fail to change. By identifying these negative or distorted perceptions,
the therapist / clinician can evaluate and change the way the patient / client is
thinking and ultimately feeling.
CBT pertains to the client’s individual needs and focuses on their negative / anxious
thought patterns and processes, they will learn to become more flexible and able
to accept and adapt new cognitive skills. CBT therefore encourages better coping
skills and strategies and more importantly, well into the future creates and maintains
a significantly reduced relapse rate.
For example, a person with an anxiety state has learnt to use avoidance tactics to
specific places / things. With CBT they will gradually learn new ways to overcome
this and realize these were not life threatening situations after all. With learning
a new alternative viewpoint, they also realize they have more control, and in the
long term, increases their self-esteem and confidence levels.
All humans have the ability to change the way they are able to deal with emotional
issues, by focusing on the way their thoughts, images, beliefs and attitudes they
use. If they hold maladaptive or dysfunctional thought processes, from perhaps negative
learned responses, this often initiates mental health problems such as depression,
which frequently generate co-morbid mental health attributes, such as anxiety, sleep
disturbance, or sleep depravation.
During the cognitive behavioural sessions, a plan of action by the therapist is essential.
Providing self-help assignments for the client is particularly important, as the
client is encouraged to participate in their own therapy regime. Their dysfunctional
way of thinking is often habitual 24 hours a day, therefore it is essential they
record and even change these thinking patterns during this time. This therapeutic
structure is valuable, so the client recognizes there is valuable support and a plan
of action in progress. This in turn leads to a successful outcome.
Feedback at the beginning of each session is vital, such as what has worked and what
has not. The emphasis is on collaborating together and to experiment and explore
different ways for the individual client to overcome their difficulties.
As the defined maladaptive cognition's are explored and identified by the therapist,
then a flexible approach can be incorporated during the session within hypnosis.
I call this internal focused CBT, which leads to a quicker recovery rate.
During the course, the mornings will be applied to gaining theoretical knowledge,
including assessment, planning action, intervention and evaluation skills. The afternoons
will be workshops, harnessing what you learn. This will involve minor to major mental
health problem scenarios, including anxiety states, panic disorder, OCD, depression,
insomnia, eating disorders, IBS, stress, reducing weight, to name a few.
