An Introduction to CBT
An Introduction to CBT
You may have heard the term CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy before, but what does it actually mean, and how can it help us to feel less stressed? Learn what CBT is and how it can help you to reduce feelings of acute stress in times of crisis.
Reacting to Stress
Reacting to Stress
We can’t always control what is going on in our lives, but we can learn to control how we respond. In this video we'll imagine different ways of thinking about a stressful situation, in order to increase our awareness of how much impact our thoughts can have on our emotional state.
Thoughts Are Not Always Facts
Thoughts Are Not Always Facts
We don’t always consider that our thoughts are not always facts, so today we will review our reaction to a scenario through an alternative perspective. When we stop assuming that our thoughts are necessarily true, we can gain perspective and control over our emotional responses.
Thought Challenging
Thought Challenging
In today’s session we'll look at how we can further counteract negative automatic thoughts that often arise at times of stress, using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy technique known as Thought Challenging.
Deactivating the Stress Response
Deactivating the Stress Response
Learn a simple breathing technique that will help you feel calmer and more relaxed in stressful situations, and be able to deactivate the ‘fight or flight’, or acute stress response.
Taking Better Actions
Taking Better Actions
In situations of stress our ability to think clearly and make decisions is impaired. In this video, Dr. Catherine teaches us how to identify our unhelpful behaviors and plan alternative actions we can take.
Positive Self Talk
Positive Self Talk
The way that we think about things has a big impact on our mood. In this session we'll be introduced to the CBT strategy of positive self talk or coping statements, to counteract negative automatic thoughts and re-balance your thinking in times of stress.
