What is CBT?– A Basic Overview:  \n􀁸 CBT is more informational than motivational – Therefore it works great in combination with other more motivational strategies.  \n􀁸 CBT de-emphasizes the importance of “how?” For example, in order to properly fix a broken arm one does not neccessarily need to know how the arm was broken in order to set the bone properly?  \n􀁸 CBT is thought-focused; the goal is to understand and change negative thoughts that fuel irrational fearsand anxieties.  \n􀁸 CBT Involves education of strategies and coping skills that clients can actively use in a variety of challenging life situations. Often CBT requires homework and client’s practicing their new skills.  \nSome Positive Aspects of CBT:  \n􀁸 It is quick (brief, short term, time limited)  \n􀁸 It is practical –(CBT skills are very useful and can be transferred to a variety of other life areas)  \n􀁸 It is goal oriented –(CBT helps clients with tangible skills for achieving their goals)  \n􀁸 Its effective with individuals and groups and even families – It works well with children, adolescents and adults  \n􀁸 CBT is evidenced-based (There is a body of research proving CBT is effective with a variety of client issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, substance abuse, trauma, schizophrenia, and many more)  \nSome Challenges of CBT:  \n􀁸 CBT is more than just “talk” therapy – CBT requires a body of knowledge and expertise on behalf of the therapist. The therapist may need to do research and preparation in order to be able to bring something to the session. Therapist needs to be able to understand skills in order to teach them.  \n􀁸 CBT alone can be ineffective with unmotivated clients. (Clients who don’t want to change will often not be interested in learning any skills to make change happen. Less motivated clients are often unwilling to do homework or practice new skills)  \nBasic Components of CBT:  \n􀁸 Functional Analysis – Counselor and client work at identifying high-risk situations that trigger or stimulate negative emotions and behaviors (such as substance abuse) and then work to find alternative strategies to avoid or cope with these high risk situations and triggers  \n􀁸 Skills training – Relaxation techniques, anger management skills, cognitive reframing , positive self-talk, etc.– There are many useful and helpful coping skills for a variety of mental health disorders and conditions. CBT is focused on practical solutions these issues  \n􀁸 Our thoughts and beliefs affect our feelings and behaviors – Therefore, CBT focuses on therapist helping clients identify and challenge negative and irrational thinking patterns and belief systems which then helps one improve ability to cope with emotional issues and establish new more positive coping behaviors. CBT helps clients learn to:  \n􀂾 Distinguish between thoughts and feelings.  \n􀂾 Become aware of the ways in which thoughts can influence feelings in ways that sometimes are not helpful.  \n􀂾 Learn about thoughts that seem to occur automatically , before realizing how these thoughts affect emotions and behavior  \n􀂾 CBT helps client consider the context of their thoughts and feelings as we often think and feel differently in different environments and situations (work, school, alone vs. with others, etc. )  \n􀂾 CBT helps us evaluate critically whether these \"automatic\" thoughts and assumptions are accurate, or perhaps biased or irrational  \n􀂾 CBT helps one to develop the skills to notice, interrupt, and correct these biased thoughts independently  \nSome Examples:  \nExample \\#1-Depressed Client – Negative behavior: Struggling to get out of bed to face the day  \n􀁸 What is that client really thinking? We know he’s depressed but is he hopeless, feeling worthless, feeling shame, anger, helplessness, guilt, etc. What specific kinds of negative thoughts are fueling depressive feelings? (Some examples below)  \no Helplessness – “What is the use in trying any more, I al","cbCaiiOJCiWBvREB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiOJCiWBvREB","pdf",284265,"English","# CBT - A Basic Overview\n## Some Positive Aspects of CBT\n## Some Challenges of CBT\n# Basic Components of CBT\n## Functional Analysis\n## Skills Training\n## Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors\n# Some Examples\n## Example #1 - Depressed Client\n## Example #2 - Angry Client\n# Coping Skills Training and Key Tools\n## The A-B-C’s of CBT\n## Cognitive Restructuring","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of CBT?\",\"answer\":\"CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thoughts and belief patterns that drive irrational fears and anxieties.
