Show notes
When most people learn about psychology, they usually start with Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalysis. People often wonder about the difference between a therapist and friend and how therapists use theories to help people. One of those theoretical approaches is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In today’s show, we talk about CBT, including its history, philosophy, and pros and cons. CBT is based on the Stoic belief that people are not affected by things, but on the views they take of those things. Taking to its logical conclusion, therapists can apply this to help people. How does a person’s perception of themselves or others change the way they feel? In CBT, it is assumed that if we can change our beliefs, we can change how we feel. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying beliefs and behaviors that can be changed to help with conditions such as depression and anxiety. Stick with us as we talk more about CBT and how therapists use it.00:00Introduction04:25History of CBT08:43Theories in Counseling18:00Definitions23:42“Think Positive”27:16CBT and Research33:00 Cognitive Triangle38:00CBT and MindfulnessSend questions to [email protected]The purpose of this podcast is to promote broad understanding and knowledge of various topics.
