An evidence-based treatment is a treatment that has many studies supporting that it is effective for helping people that have mental health conditions. CBT is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions including mood disorders, general stress and anxiety, and substance use issues.3 CBT is also accepted as an effective therapy method for people with developmental disabilities.2, 4 Because CBT might be a model of therapy you hear about when attending therapy, the following factsheet will help you understand more about CBT.  \nThis fact sheet will explain:  \n1) How CBT works;  \nHow CBT Works  \nCBT can be one-on-one or group therapy. This therapy helps clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other. The ABC model, commonly used in CBT, is helpful in understanding these relationships. ‘A’ stands for activating event, ‘B’ stands for beliefs and meanings about the event, and ‘C’ stands for emotional and behavioral consequences. Emotional consequences include any feelings you might have, and behavioral consequences include everything that you do, what you say, how you act and how you solve problems. For example, sometimes people experience events (A) that result in negative emotional and behavioral consequences (C). However, if a person can learn how to change their beliefs, thoughts and meaning surrounding the event (B), the consequences would  \n2) What a person can expect to do in CBT therapy;  \n3) How to make therapy successful; and  \n4) How to find a CBT provider if you feel that CBT is the right option.  \nalso change.6 A CBT provider can help you understand the unhelpful beliefs that are resulting in negative consequences, and help you create more helpful patterns.  \nSometimes, people have negative beliefs and meanings about events because they are using thinking errors. Thinking errors are unhelpful ways of thinking that almost everyone experiences sometime in their life. These thoughts are not true and often result in unhelpful emotions or behaviors. One example of a thinking error is catastrophizing. Catastrophizing is when a person experiences a minor negative event and imagines the worst possible outcome that could happen. For example, ifa person makes a common mistake at work, but believes they will be fired for that mistake. There are many different types of thinking errors, and a CBT provider can help you identify which ones you use and replace them with more helpful thoughts. Like many clients, if you have a developmental disability, you may need help determining the difference between a thought and a feeling. It may also be difficult to express your thoughts and feelings.  \nWhat to Expect in Therapy  \nIf you choose to see a CBT provider, there are many activities you might do. When you first meet with a mental health provider, they will tell you a little bit about how therapy works, how long therapy should take, and ask if you have any questions or concerns. Be sure to ask any questions you have about the therapy process and let the provider know if you do not understand what is being said. It is important that you feel comfortable asking questions, expressing your needs, and that your relationship with the provider is a good fit for you. Let the provider know if you will need accommodations so they can be made ahead of time.  \nNext, the provider will ask you to tell them about yourself, your recent moods, problems that you have that you would like help with, and what you think your strengths are as a person. As therapy continues, the provider will help you identify negative events, thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns that are not helpful, so they can be changed to be more positive and productive.  \nAt times, you may be challenged on some of the thinking errors you are using and be encouraged to view other persp","cbCaiqzPyCXJAA7V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqzPyCXJAA7V","pdf",311066,"English","# Introduction\n# How CBT Works\n## What to Expect in Therapy\n# How to Make Therapy Successful\n## Helpful Questions to Ask Your Provider\n# How to Find a CBT Provider","[{\"question\":\"How does CBT explain the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors?\",\"answer\":\"CBT uses the ABC model: activating events (A) shape beliefs and meanings (B), which lead to emotional and behavioral consequences (C).
