How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work? 

"Re- think & Re- Evaluate how I see the world"

I am a psychology student and this is the best explanation for CBT

I’m starting CBT therapy next week, I’ve been suffering for years and I’m recovering from a self harm addiction, it’s so hard.

I started CBT because it is the most accessible therapy in my country. I actually would prefer psychoanalysis or similiar things. I think CBT is good for people who have normal problems like a divorce or losing a job etc. But my problem is trauma and a stampede of bad circumstances (mentally ill parents, abusive household, illness, death of family members, being raised without love etc.) . CBT basically fights the symptom. Like, you are overwhelmed with cleaning and you learn to approach it step by step. That is not what I want. I want to find myself and fix my broken soul. Because if I clean or try out talking to people more etc. my dark broken mind is still there. This is only useful if your problems are temporary and not a deep part of your self. I feel like I have to go deeper than that. Iam often dissappointed when my therapist wants to talk about practical solutions instead of going through my past etc.

Effective is that CBT starts with a persons here-and-now thoughts (then feelings & behavior they cause.) Positive thought is powerful. "The reality of man is his thought, not his material body. The thought force and the animal force are partners. Although man is part of the animal creation, he possesses a power of thought superior to all other created beings." ~ Baha'i Faith

Cbt helped me break a horrible binge/purge cycle i was in. The recognize, acknowledge and redirect method really helped

By far, the best CBT video, I have listened to. This is exactly how I am seeing myself, and I know now that I am working CBT slightly. You’ve given me hope that CBT is going to continue to help me the better I get at it

As a therapist, one is always looking for new effective ways to help those with varying degrees of addiction, this video provides a very interesting perspective. If done properly especially when combined with a workbook like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Worksheets for Substance Abuse by Portia Cruise, it becomes a lot easier to help patients track their progress, stay motivated, and avoid relapse.

i was diagnosed with depression 2 weeks ago and my doctor told me i’ll be getting CBT 6 weeks after i start my medication. the video was so relatable especially when he thought that everybody hates him or when he was so overwhelmed by his missy house that he couldn’t start doing it. i have a big exam coming up and i feel the same way i dont know how to start and i keep procrastinating. it feels a bit better to know that this is not me. im not this bad. im just ill.

I have been doing CBT for 4 weeks . I get panic attacks . I started taking SSRIs and since then i have been better . But today I had a panic attack and derealization symptoms. I'm going to talk to her about it . A lot has been going on and i have been sad and anxious and it manifests in anxiety and panic attacks . I hate it and i can't wait to get well . I want to be like myself again

I feel like no matter how hard I try I just can’t be confident in myself when I’m sober. I would really love for my family and to be able to see me change for the better or at least give it my all trying.

I love how here people talking about CBT and it's positive affects, while even with context they sound amusing.

Sometimes your boss actually does hate you and your “friends” actually don’t want you there

This book pairs well with the mindfulness workbook "The Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels.

Just been diagnosed with ADHD, ASD & OCD. I feel like my world has spiralled further due to the thought that if I had known sooner I could have done something about the last 42 years of my complete (oblivious) life and made it better. Most will say you shouldn’t dwell on the past… you’re right but let me tell you something that it’s easy for you to say. It is not easy when like I say just finding out I have disabilities as well to add to the others it really angers me and I feel cheated! Child abuse felt like the norm growing up as I thought parents must beat their kids severely with blunt force when the child had done wrong but no that lasted 14 yrs and finding out at the age of 14 that this is not normal when I visit a friends house for the first time and found out that’s not the way I’m treated just how I saw how they was with each other… that put me into a serious addiction phase for 4 years which led to a complete breakdown. I could go on and on but I shouldn’t dwell on it they say?! Not easy to do but I am trying to be positive by getting the help I need and only then, hopefully, I’ll stop feeling like I wanna die most days. 🤞🏻

Sorry, wrong CBT comment section. Have a good day!

It makes me feel bad to hear people being down on themselves. CBT can really help change someone's thinking in a positive and realistic way.

Where have you beeeeeen!!! I’m looking for self help books on cbt now. Hope I find some. Thank you for this!!

I don't see how this helps anxiety. Okay, I can think differently but that doesn't stop the anxiety that's coming with the negative thoughts.

Imagine if you will that every thing I your life was In actuality negative . Picture a decade of fighting against 10 million or more individuals who kicked you to the ground every single time you stood up. No matter what you were doing , whether you made positive and healthy life choices or if you made negative unhealthy ones . ALL bad , all the time. Purposely they kept you defeated...for over a decade. The fact that despite that I have even more determination and drive to overcome anything and everything is a testament to the type of individual you are dealing with. I will never give up. Never give in . I will succeed. And one way or another we will meet in the middle .

When day is sad, always remember happy day

Thank you for your videos. I love how simple are them and informative. There's not so much unecessary animations. And it's created the way the audience can realistically relate and understand themselves.

Thank u for this

Very Informative Video !

“It went on for weeks and I didn’t know what to do.” It took me 7 years to get over a girl I dated when I was 15 lol. It affected my every day life and kept me up at night. Is that like level 1000, or?

This wasn't the CBT I was looking for :/

This wasn’t the CBT I was looking for

Thanks for this!

I tried CBT once and now I can't have kids anymore.

Not the CBT i looked for, but ok

wow. This clip helped me understand CBT easily

Thanks for shining some light on this topic! It definitely cleared up some misconceptions.

I want to mention that being diagnosed with many co-morbid conditions AND having had undiagnosed ADHD for YEARS, it is worth noting if CBT in not effective for certain patients who are diagnosed with simply BPD, anxiety or depression, it could be that they are not able to access the pre-frontal cortex and a change in medication (stimulants or non-stimulants) may be the push they need to access that part of the brain that understands. I was on anti-depressants and was still not able to identify my thoughts. It just felt like that part of my brain did not exist. When I later on took stimulants as part of my treatment, I finally was able to "see" that part of my brain that does the thinking and was able to then identify that the negative thoughts came from external forces from the past, and was able to separate them from myself. Don't be too quick to right off patients as being difficult to treat when potentially they have been misdiagnosed.

Excellent video. Thank you

Very useful and joyful video! Thank you

CBT, replacing one deluded thought with another one. Bravo.

I provide CBT in NY. My clients reported results with happiness, love, finances, relationships and even health. I have a few openings and taking clients.

That’s great approach

CLEAR enough for a non-major psychology student! THX as it helps me before my test haha

Can CBT be the same as lying to yourself?

Does this work for a borderline/EUPD? As an associate underwent CBT and after 4 sessions the 'therepist' blamed the patient for not making any progress improvements.

i want this to work for me so bad, the concept of having the same irrational fear insecurities play out but understand why, demystifies and turns the whole thing into something knowable and limited, i need that sense from the randomly assembled public, otherwise it comes off as exclusionary malicious stalking, and thats not healthy to ponder if anyone on earth is being truthful.

All the characters herein are cartoons. Warning about no connection to real people. It says the thoughts are reinterpreted in positive terms (or non-negative thoughts). This technique makes sense where such thoughts are in fact incorrect, irrational or unduly pessimistic. However, a negative thought is not necessarily an incorrect one and therapeutically “correcting” an accurate belief might be setting up the client for heartache. Example: client, “I believe I can’t sing”. (Actually client can’t stay on key). Therapist, “Maybe you just need voice lessons and more practice”. “Ok”.

section 2 *ball stretcher*

Really helpful

I make my mom so sad and I let her down so much she says I need to live in the moment to make her happier but how do I do that

which accredited institute in india provides CBT course to become a CBT practitioner

Dude i cant take the comments seriously 💀💀

That's how I feel

Nice!!

Nowhere in the video does it say how CBT works

A very good video that explains a huge amount.

i searched cbt for something else…

I noted that the topic of taking meds came up frequently and then saw at the end that this was sponsored by Janssen Pharmaceuticals which explains everything.

CBT is good for ordinary life. The day to day. It's all out the window during a traumatic event and working through trauma. My trauma is a year old now. I'm willing to give this a shot because I am ready to heal and move forward. I think that's the most important element for CBT success. The client has to be on the other side of the trauma and ready to heal in order for it to be effective. I was first taught CBT during my traumatic event and its a joke when your brain is in shock and in survival mode. I dont care what studies say, each person is different, and the effectiveness varies based one where the client's journey is in the moment.

Jedi mind tricks, "your problems are not problems your perspective is just wrong." Ok thanks CBT all my problems are solved now -_-

I have just started CBT ,but feel so negative about it (like I don't believe that someone can change my thought pattern) has anyone completed CBT and found their life improved?

Thank you

Is this applicable for patients also?

I don't want ANYTHING to do with J&J, but I do believe in Cognitive Therapy. I do belueve if I change my mind, I change my life. It rrrrreally works.

Obviously such an ad for the Rx industry. You don’t need medication to do CBT.

so the treatment is "not to think bad". ohh I never thought about that.

Been thinking about getting therapy for these extremely depressed feelings that I've been having these past 5 years but I'm so scared to. It's getting so much worse. I have no idea what it's like so I'm trying to find videos of them.

Starts at 1:41.

I was on this one, venting and critical towards everypart of me and negative, now i'll be more concious on my thoughts, action and behaviour, life offer many beautiful things i'm unaware of .... I'll be more positive and grateful

I have been pulling out my hair since 2 grade, I am 27.. haven’t watched this yet I hope it will help

Hey.. will You post behavior therapy which will also be helpful .

This piece is filled with valuable wisdom. Engaging with a book with parallel content was an eye-opening journey. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling

I have CBT because of my autism, and my last behavioral theapist was really bad and would hardly make any effort to communicate. im getting a new behavioral therapist soon, how do i begin to trust her after my last behavioral therapist, and how do i know she'll help me?

Anyone can help me with “contribuition of CBT in the field of counselling” ? Please

I ❤ CBT

But, what do you do when your negative thoughts are true?

This feels more like an advertisement for CBT than an explanation.

I loves CBT!!!

C-C-CBT?!

My depression make me feel like I'm not a good person and I don't want to be a good friend to me

I start soon i hope it helps

Nice❤

Which therapy is required for person who is afraid to walk alone and fear of falling and never getting up and always scared to go out of the house alone or with someone because feel scared to walk and kind falling feeling but never falls

Your dad loves CBT 🤣

we know why were here💀

Verey interesting

Perhaps, I should listen again. Because here’s where I feel skeptical. Is it negative thought or is it the ability to discern? Is it encouraged to just “positive realities away”? Does it mean to negate some of the truths and realities you pickup on? And, yes, I feel narcissistic for asking.

CBT = be your own psychologist.

CHANGE YOUR THINKING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. SAY YOURSELF, I WILL LIVE A GREAT LIFE AND YOU WILL LIVE A GREAT LIFE.

My friend randomly sent me this..

Can't it recover at home treatment?

huh, I just have to think positive, why didn't I think of that before?

How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work? Do you know what gaslighting is? Have you ever thought about doing it to yourself?

This is so helpful

ALONG WITH MY MEDICATION - Johnson & Johnson

Video: explaining examples of problems causing mental health issues Me: all the things at the same moment for me. When you get lucky....

I'm a mental health (MH) professional. I will tell you now, that the best thing I ever did for my own mental health (which many of us MH professionals neglect), was to cut out all the negative ppl from my life. I simply stopped communicating with them - no explanation or anything. I'd had to move from a place I loved to my old town to help care for my Dad, who unfortunately became ill. As soon as I contacted one of my so called friends I'd known for many years, she immediately started complaining about everything in her life - as she always does. She had gotten ill quite a few years ago, but is better now thanks to live saving medication, so I never called her out re her negative behaviour (and I'm a pretty straight forward person). I'd know this person about 40 years. The very last straw came when she started telling me how to do my job - an area that she has never worked in, or even been associated with. She has always been a know it all type of person - and thinks she is better than everyone else. We had an unproductive argument, and I just said I have to go as I was tired - I'd gotten stuck in an airport about 2 nights before, so wasn't happy about sleeping on a chair all night, and was still horribly jet lagged. My friend also knew this but did not offer any words of sympathy etc. I thought long and hard re our argument and about how this person had always put me down over the years, never supporting me, whereas I'd supported her pretty much through everything. I wondered why I tolerated her behaviour, then just decided that I did not need to. I was feeding her ego - giving her an ear to complain to re everything - MH professionals unfortunately get that all the time. So I cut her out of my life, and everyone else who is negative. I don't live here permanently anyway, but have to stay here for now. Ask yourself: why do you tolerate everyone else's criticism? Do they know - or care - re your life circumstances? The best thing to do is tell them straight that you don't appreciate their criticism but rather, a helpful ear would be better - nobody has all the solutions to your life problems. Otherwise, if they continue to be negative either ignore them, or simply don't contact them - they will get the message eventually. Or if you don't want to do that, one friend told me she just agreed with the negative cricitism, said 'You're probably right!', smiled, said Bye then walked away. This would not work for me however. I can't tell you now how wonderful it is to not be around those ppl anymore!! Nobody needs more criticism in their life. Do not tolerate it and don't be made to feel guilty for not seeing those ppl - you deserve better friends than negative ones in your life!!

wish I didn't have much of an appetite, lol, but then, I've not actually been diagnosed with a mental illness--you'd think all this is just normal human reaction that happens all the time (which is what many of us see in this world)

1:40 is the explanation

I have no support system I am ignored my room. My roommate, a co-owner car with roommate. She uses it every day. I can be a week or more in the house and I have to beg to get my needs met. Roommate does not notice when I am out of things and does not care. I have no family no friends I am truly stuck in alone. What can a psychiatrist do for me other than tell me to go for a walk. Why am I going to go what am I gonna do? Nothing feels good,

Is cbt totally based on talking any medication not included?

So HOW DOES IT WORK?

I thought the other thing
