CBT Intervention
Overview:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
For instance, CBT highlights how negative thoughts can lead to negative feelings and actions. But, if you reframe your thoughts in a more positive way, it can lead to more positive feelings and helpful behaviors.
We at HPSC will teach you how to make changes you can implement right now. These are skills you can continue to use for the rest of your life.
Depending on the issue you’re dealing with and your goals, there are several ways to approach CBT. Whatever approach HPSC takes, it will include:
- identifying specific problems or issues in your daily life
- becoming aware of unproductive thought patterns and how they can impact your life
- identifying negative thinking and reshaping it in a way that changes how you feel
- learning new behaviors and putting them into practice
After speaking with a psychotherapist at HPSC and learning more about the issue you want help with, the psychotherapist will decide on the best CBT strategies to use.
There are 9 strategies:
- Cognitive restructuring or reframing
- Guided discovery
- Exposure therapy
- Journaling and thought records
- Activity scheduling and behavior activation
- Behavioral experiments
- Relaxation and stress reduction techniques
- Role playing
- Successive approximation
The treatment material will be delivered by one of our specialists either virtually or at our office in London, Ontario. An evaluation process will be used to monitor learner progress. Contact us (link) to book a training session for your team or for any other inquiries.
