Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic tool that is used to help people who suffer from addictions, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Some of the key features of this type of therapy are ease of use, a rather hands on approach, and it can be custom tailored to the needs of the individual.
CBT has grown in popularity through the years despite the fact that there are those who criticize it. It has grown so much that there are now plenty of CBT variants that deal with different types of conditions. Some of these types are not actually therapies themselves but they are more utilized as training tools.
Some of the most popular types of CBT will be covered in this book. It should however be pointed out that no matter how many types of CBT there are the main idea and philosophy behind all of them is that changing maladaptive thought patterns will change a person's behavior. And that is at the core of the practice.
This book covers the trade secrets and techniques used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for treating depression, eating disorders, anxiety, and other negative behaviors. The content goes over several delivery protocols along with examples on how you can practice them on your own.
It should be pointed out that not all CBT forms can be practiced on your own. In fact, there are a variety of delivery protocols in this type of therapy. Each method of delivery will have its own pros and cons. But it should be emphasized here that a face to face meeting with a CBT trained therapist is highly required. Doing so will increase your chances of success in the course of treatment. Why is that? We go over the reasons why in detail in this book.
CBT today is a conglomerate of different types of therapies. They are united by a common thread - the use of a cognitive behavioral approach to treatment and training. Some types of CBT are better suited for certain conditions such as the following:
- Internet addiction
- Eating disorders
- Smoking cessation
- Gambling addiction
- Mental illness prevention
- Mood disorders
- Psychosis
- Schizophrenia
- Anxiety disorders
CBT is effective no matter which type because it is able to provide three important key elements for patients. The benefits include the following:
- It helps the patient regain that sense of self-empowerment. That means that they are again able to take responsibility for their own thoughts and behaviors.
- CBT also emphasizes self-efficacy. That means clients are empowered to choose what they want to become.
- The final aspect of CBT is that it teaches people how to live and focus on the here and the now.
