Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that teaches you to look at problematic situations differently and to deal with them differently. Cognitive behavioral therapy assumes that problems are influenced and maintained by someone's thoughts and behavior. By examining, discussing and changing those thoughts and behavior, the psychological complaints decrease. During the treatment, you actively work together with the therapist to improve your complaints. CBT is often used for mood complaints and brooding.

What is CBT?

“Thinking is the most overrated human activity.”

- Wendell Berry

Thought log

A commonly used exercise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the thought record or thought log. A thought log focuses on the Event, Thought, and Emotion.

Event

What actually happened.

Thought

What you think or interpret based on the event.

Emotion

How those thoughts make you feel.

You use this thought log to gain insight into how your thoughts and feelings arise in response to certain events, so that you can recognize and adjust negative patterns.

Acceptance &
Commitment Therapy (ACT)

In therapy I often alternate CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a form of therapy in which accepting your complaints is central (acceptance). The goal is to become mentally more resilient.
