CBT?

Yep, here’s what I wrote recently on another post-

Anxiety is negative thinking run amok. We believe a negative thought and it creates an emotion. The emotion tricks our mind into thinking the negative thought is real. This results in a feedback loop. We get stuck with more negative thoughts and the cycle becomes worse.

CBT and meditation helped me a lot. I read Burns’ book and still went to therapy. I wanted someone to show me how to do it correctly. Also, if I needed to be on meds, I knew she would provide it as an option. I didn’t need them, but I did need to put the work in. The therapist was invaluable. She could point out my distorted thoughts to me even I had a hard time recognizing them. She would label it, and I would have instant relief.

Long story short, meditation helps distance me from my thoughts and CBT shows me my thoughts aren’t real. Hope it helps. And by the way, the negative thought you described in your post is called fortune telling or predicting the future.

So CBT is an umbrella term for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the most commonly used form of therapy cue Dr. taking notes while patient lies on a couch. CBT is extremely useful for a wide variety of issues and the approaches for CBT therapy are varied and numerous. Thus, it’s an excellent modality to gain greater insight into certain issues ranging from childhood through current life.

I have a masters in Positive Organixational Paychllovy and have a great deal of personal and professional experience with CBT, DBT, Coaching, and Mindfulness. Personally, DBT and Coaching have been the most valuable methodologies to help foster the lasting growth.

To understand what approach would best suit you it would help if you could share a few specific areas that you want to work on, ongoing issues you find recurring in your life, what you feel is holding you back, any specific areas you want to improve.

For ex: To work on: More Mindfulness, black and white thinking, impulsivity Issues; Effective communication, time management, vulnerability, being intimate, Holding back; addiction, self-sabotage, friends, limiting beliefs, my job, etc.

To improve: finding greater balance, priorities, healthy boundaries /relationships /more intimacy

DBT is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy CBT is the most well known therapy methodology and extremely helpful in many cases.

MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Is another great one.

Essentially it comes down to your personal provider, the purpose for seeing them, and what you want to gain from treatment.

More than happy to help. Feel free to message me w any more questions. Also happy to send you a referral.

Sorry. Where’s autocorrect when you need it? It’s actually Positive Coaching Psychology. Usually I say Organizational Development /Psych instead as Positive Psych is relatively new and people are more familiar w Organizational Development.

Okay?
