Cbt Reflection

Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment for a variety of disorder diagnoses. Although pharmacological treatments are the most widely used method of treatment in anxiety disorders in America, research has found that even though patients respond sufficiently to medication treatment initially some are unable

For this assignment, I will examine how cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is effective approach for clients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-traumatic stress disorder is defined as "a mental health condition that is triggered by exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation," (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It is natural to feel afraid during and after a distressing experience and most people can recover after the initial symptoms. But, people with PTSD continue to feel stressed and frightened after the experience is over.

In general, the first part of therapy is largely informational; many people are greatly helped by simply understanding exactly what panic disorder is, and how many others suffer from it. Many people who suffer from panic disorder are worried that their panic attacks mean they're "going crazy" or that the panic might induce a heart attack. By helping to change the way a patient things about their panic attacks these often is a first step toward people replacing their worst thoughts with more realistic, positive ways of viewing the

CBT is useful for addressing multiple issues, including anxiety, panic, depression, substance abuse, and OCD. It can be especially useful in work with adolescents, older children and adults. Cognitive Behavioral therapy has expanded to include work with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, has been shortened to include Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can be used in group therapy sessions. Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a “short term, component based intervention”

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a combination of two kinds of therapy; cognitive therapy and behavioural therapy (Bush, 2005). It has been shown to have a positive impact on a wide range of mood and anxiety disorders, such as depression, insomnia and panic attacks as well as more recently psychosis (schizophrenia).

Over the course of my career I have been trained in interventions from various theoretical orientations, with particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I always find myself gravitating to the structure of CBT, which in order to be effective, requires collaboration between the provider and patient to identify maladaptive patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within the context of the individual’s environment. The CBT approach has a wide array of carefully constructed exercises, in addition to various protocols, to help clients evaluate and change their thoughts and behaviors.

The video was very informative in describing how CBT can be used. I have seen CBT used frequently in our programs, however the effectiveness I fear is not as good as the data would have us believe. I think CBT can be used however only with certain clients and cultures. CBT have been criticized for focusing too much on the power of positive thinking, being too techniques oriented, and working to eliminate symptoms but failing to explore the underlying causes of difficulties (Corey, 2013). I work in a community with majority of our clients are African Americans and Hispanic. Most of the clients in the communities are poverty stricken, and have difficult lives. Using CBT which only focus on the now and positive thoughts can be a difficult concept

Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent wathing then actually doing things. When I walked into the doubdle door facilty I seen the usual faces, and I greated them as I made my way back to my little small cubicl office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from te day prior. The note was to remind me about the homeless alliance meeting in the chamber of commerce in temple TX. I completely forgot about it, so I had to replan my day out in order to mame the meeting. I was a little upset about replanning my day, because I plan to go to the gym at three oclok today. I guess thatnot

Along with CBT, an additional evidence based treatment is relaxation training. According to Wicks-Nelson and Israel (2015), relaxation training is a method that “teaches individuals to be aware of their physiological and muscular reactions to anxiety and provide them with skills to control these reactions” (p. 136). Due to individuals learning their physiological and muscular reactions to anxiety they can sense the early signs or anxiety and relax before they panic. As said by Wicks-Nelson & Israel (2015) individuals will go through muscle relaxation training and they will learn a cue word such as “calm”.

QP engaged Maunica in participating in a CBT activity geared towards effective coping skills to deal with panic attract. QP explained to Maunica that the activity will teach her effective coping strategies to rid of having panic attract. QP brainstormed with manic symptoms of panic attack. QP asked Maunica, when was the last time she experienced a panic attack. QP asked Maunica to list some symptom of her panic attack. QP asked Maunica how long do a panic attack last for her. QP asked Maunica to explain, what held her panic attack to go away. QP demonstrated to Maunica an example of a panic attack. QP asked Maunica to list some triggers of panic attack. QP discussed with Maunica trends and patterns of panic attacks. QP explained, to Maunica,

I am a first year student in the MLT program effective 2016, but this ended in March 31, 2017 due to suspension by the college. I have accumulated many accolades before entering the MLT program such as making the Dean's list and being inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. I have had no disciplinary record before entering this program. I have been at Central Piedmont Community College for 3 years to be exact. I have had no disciplinary record from other schools that I have matriculated at. With that being said, the MLT department at Central Piedmont Community College has committed numerous violations on my behalf. There is a paper trail that can validate this claim significantly. I will provide the backdrop of everything, on Sunday,

This book has truly brought to light some of the thoughts that I have had for years. Many people that we come in contact with everyday have issues that result in anxiety attacks. Especially as Christians we have to know how to deal with life when it brings panic attacks, stress and worry our way. The way that most people that I know of have dealt with the situation is to fold and be depressed. That has subsequently led to other illnesses and problems because the initial things were never dealt with. This book provides excellent strategies to overcome the problems that one can face. I have personally had one on one interaction with people and I have seen all of these conditions that were mentioned by Dr. Hart. As I converse with them, I can see the nervousness and the unrest in their eyes. There is an uneasiness that warrants therapy and in many cases prayer as well. The main problem in that case, is does that person really want the help. When a person does not want the help, you cannot force them to take it. They must, of their own volition accept help. There was one individual that I knew of in the church who was on medication for anxiety and depression. This person had convinced themselves in their mind of their condition. After months

They needed to do the study to compare panic and change in panic during therapy. One of the models was a catastrophic cognitions model, which deals with the reduction of the catastrophic beliefs that will have the patient experience less severe panic attacks. The second model within this study is a low self-efficacy model. The self-efficacy model calculates individuals over a certain period of time and when the period of time is complete the information that was collected forms a relation between the variables. The hypothesis of the study is to compare and contrast the changes in the catastrophic beliefs and

Essentially, they wanted to determine if one method of therapy that was more effective than another, and if the current methods were even effective at all. The results showed that there is no major difference between Relaxation Therapy and Cognitive Therapy in the treatment of General Anxiety Disorder (Siev & Chambless, 2007). However, Cognitive-behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy showed to be more effective in the treatment Panic Disorder (Siev & Chambless,

The therapist used the Cognitive Model of Panic (Clark, 1986), initially developing the three key elements of
