Basic Strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

An online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practitioner uses various strategies such as thought journaling, gratitude journaling, pleasure activity scheduling, role play, relaxation activities like focused breathing, meditation, imagery. The strategies are used both in session as well as in form of home work.

These strategies can be divided into the following types:

  • Discovery: Introspection and reflection to identify faulty thought pattern and unhealthy behaviour.
  • Goal setting: long term goal is broken into various short term, time based attainable goals
  • Learning: Understanding and inculcating new, healthier thoughts and behaviour
  • Self- monitoring: keeping track of ones thoughts, emotions and behaviour across situations

Not all Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online will implement each of these techniques. Instead, a collaborative effort between the psychologist and patient/client is used to analyze the issue and come up with a treatment plan.

The goal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online is to assist people in becoming their own therapists. Patients and clients are assisted in developing coping skills so they can learn to alter their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior through activities done both during and outside of sessions.

Instead of focusing on the circumstances that lead to the client's problems, Cognitive Behavioral therapists highlight what is happening in the client's current life. While some knowledge of one's past is necessary, developing more advanced strategies in the present is the main goal.

Things to Consider With CBT

There are a variety of challenges individuals may encounter when participating in cognitive therapy for behavioral disorders. Here are some to think about.

Change Can Be Difficult

At first, some patients suggest that even though they realize that certain thoughts aren't healthy or rational, just realizing these thoughts isn't enough to change them.

CBT Is Very Structured

CBT doesn't concentrate on the underlying resistance of the mind to change the way other methods like psychoanalytic therapy. Instead, it tends have a more formal approach, which means it is not appropriate for those who have difficulty navigating structure.

You Must Be Willing to Change

To allow CBT to work, one need to be prepared and willing to put in the time and effort analysing your thoughts and feelings. It can be a challenge to analyze your own thoughts and feelings however it's an excellent way to find out the ways in which our mental conditions affect our outward behavior.

Progress Is Often Gradual

CBT in most instances is an incremental process that allows you make small steps toward changes in your behavior. For instance, someone suffering from social anxiety might begin with imagining anxious social situations. After that, they could try out conversations with family members, friends, or acquaintances. When they are working towards an overall objective, the process appears less overwhelming and the goals are easier to attain.

What are the Benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

  • Works as a first line treatment where medicine may not work, for example conflicted interpersonal relationship, grief or moving on after break up.
  • Works along with medicine in combating psychological (ex-anxiety, depression) as well as physiological problems (ex-irritable bowel syndrome, sexual issues)
  • Backed up theoretically and with years of research, thus effective form of treatment.
  • Short term i.e. only 5 to 20 sessions of 40 to 50 minutes each thus highly feasible
