The Basics of CBT. In this video, Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, PhD will talk about the basics of CBT. Since CBT constitutes the whole foundation for our online therapy program, we believe that it’s important for you to get a quick insight into what CBT is.
CBT has been developed on the idea that your thoughts are what cause your feelings and behaviors, not external stimuli like people, situations and events. The benefit of this insight is that you can change the way you think, so that you feel and act better, even if the situation hasn’t changed.
So how does CBT online work?
Studies show that online CBT is just as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy.
- It helps you to identify and challenge your specific problems
Instead of just talking freely about what’s on your mind, CBT is a pragmatic approach and you will get outstanding support to identify your specific problems and then get the tools that will help you to deal with them.
- It teaches you to think in a different way
CBT helps you to understand the importance of thinking and how it affects how you feel and what you do. It is one of the core fundamentals of our online therapy program.
- It helps you to unlearn unwanted reactions
CBT is based on the scientifically supported assumption that most emotional and behavioral reactions are learned. Therefore, the goal of the therapy is to help you unlearn your unwanted reactions and to learn a new way of reacting.
