Personal Faith Integration
The reason I chose to research cognitive behavior therapy is because personally I feel it has many of the aspects I choose to incorporate in my daily life. In many ways I agree that we do become products of our environment, and the maladaptive ways of thinking that we may have could be the result of how we were brought up. However, that does not always mean it is for the best. For example, if a person grows up in a household where a parent or family member has maladaptive thoughts, or believes that everyone thinks the worst of them, it is likely that person would confront those same beliefs in their life at some point. I think that the ideals we are raised with play an important part in how we view situations.

It has been a personal quest of mine to modify that behavior, when I am struggling with something, and want to throw in the towel, or admit I am a failure. I begin by attempting to re-center myself, one of my greatest techniques is to ask myself, 5 years from now, will any of this matter? At times, it can be will this matter tomorrow? I recognize that it is a process to change your behavior. However, I am also beginning to understand that it is possible to change or modify your thoughts and behaviors, although it takes time and consistency. Another one of my favorite bible verses in Jeremiah 29:11, when I am feeling down or overwhelmed, I recite that to myself. I remind myself that the Lord does have plans for me, although at times it is difficult to see, I must trust there is a meaning to everything that takes place, and trust that the Lord has a greater plan which one day I will understand.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy. The effectiveness has been researched extensively over the years (Dobson, 2001). There are over three hundred published studies about the outcomes of cognitive behavioral therapy interventions. The main reason for this is that an ongoing adaptation of this form of psychotherapy makes it applicable to a vast amount of disorders and related problems (Rounsaville & Caroll, 2002).

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a mixture of both Cognitive Therapy (CT), which deals with a person’s thoughts and Behavioral Therapy (BT), which concentrates on an individual’s overt or outside personality. According to Barbara P. Early and Melissa D. Grady, CT specializes in the mental process that can affect an individual’s feelings and behavior, while BT is focusing on the external environment that can cause the behaviors, such as a stimulus (Early & Grady, 2016). The use of the two therapies together allows the
Cognitive therapy is one of the few theories that have been extensively scientifically tested and found to be highly effective in over 300 clinical trials. It focuses on the immediate or automatic thoughts the client has and how these thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. The goal of cognitive therapy is to identify these thoughts that are poorly affecting the client. Then teach the client how to identify these automatic thoughts and how they can effectively change them. Through the very structured sessions of cognitive therapy, a client should essentially learn the tools to be their own cognitive therapist for future problems they may encounter. The therapy session will not make them an expert but they will be better prepared to

Within the psychology field and in society, there is a common belief that theological principles, scripture, Christianity, and psychological principles are not compatible. Instead they believe that modern psychology is secular, scientific, and sacrilegious. However, many Christian psychologists and counselors, organizations and associations such as the Society for Christian Psychology, are striving to unite, integrate and incorporate Christian values, principles and knowledge into modern psychological counseling, research, and practice. Two of the main perspectives that tries to merge the two principles and theories is the Integration perspective and the Christian Psychology perspective.

Along with the Torah, Jews consider the mitzvoth to be their commandments by praying/worshiping and keeping all of their food kosher.
