An Effective Approach of Therapy

By Mark Red


CBT differs from other treatments approaches in many aspects; whilst, psychoanalysis treatment focuses on the patients conflicts and the unconscious, trying to bring those conflicts and their sources into awareness believing that being aware to those conflicts is half way from solving the problem, CBT treatment doesn't focus on the patients conflicts but rather on the thinking and behavioral patterns.

CBT treatment is effective targeted therapy that designated to change pattern of thought and behavior. Those thoughts effect our emotions and make us interpret the reality and behave in a certain way that is not always beneficial to us. Those immediate reactions derive from previous experiences. Those experiences contributed to an almost automatic respond.

Negative thoughts are an outcome of previous experiences. The goal of the treatment would be to identify them, isolate them and understand the way they affect our feelings and our behavior. We will learn to identify the connection between our thoughts, emotions and reaction to certain situations and break the automatic connection between certain thoughts and their resulted emotions and behavior. We will learn that our thoughts do not reflect the mere truth.

Our thoughts, our feelings and our behavior constitute strong relations. Sometimes those connections create negative effect on our lives that exacerbated different problems in our lives. Developing anxiety can be an outcome of these connections. Thus the aim of CBT will be to help us identify those connections: how our thoughts influence our emotions and how it is influencing our behavior and why the way we think something is an outcome of previous experiences. CBT will tech us that there is a spectrum of interpretations to a certain situation and we can choose different scenarios for our lives.

If you seek to change your reality and the way you react to different life events, you should consider CBT treatment as it is considered very effective and life changing approach. If you choose this specific approach of treatment make sure you choose a psychologist who studied CBT and has enough experience using cognitive-behavioral methods.
