3 Introduction to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - This is trying to catch negative thinking in order to change negative thinking, also allows client to see how thinking & feelings are linked & how both are tied to specific situations. So client writes how they feel (using percentages), say their automatic thoughts, find the key thought that's driving their feelings, then give evidence for or against this key thought, and then make an alternative thought & say how they feel now.
      - Shows that you can change what you're thinking & that thoughts affect feelings - also the client can step out from their automatic thoughts, view their thoughts from an external perspective
    - - These are distorted ways that people construct the world around them, helps the client see that their thinking isn't a reality but it's just errors
      - You ask them questions to really figure out which thinking errors they have, and then you can help them challenge these thinking errors, thus you'd be able to change their thinking/change how they construct the world
    - - Get people to be aware of their catastrophic interpretations - what's the worst that can happen - helps them be aware of their catastrophic thoughts that occur from very small thoughts
    - - so the client writes down positive things that happen, which goes against their negative core beliefs and also supports their positive new core beliefs. This is rlly imp for self-esteem (catching self-critical thoughts & then collect positive evidence of the self)
    - - Get people to restructure their cognition by asking them questions/guided discover, discover connections between thoughts, feelings, behaviours
  - - - The client writes what activities they do on a daily basis & rates it on enjoyment and achievement. They can then see what they're doing during the day, how much enjoyment things are giving them/what activities aren't giving them joy, what activities they're really good at (achievement).
      - The client can then go out and do those activities they enjoy more and can do really well - doing activities to raise their level of enjoyment and raise their sense of achievement
      - Helps them see how behaviour & feelings are linked, can help change negative thoughts
    - - So clients have a lot of predictions, but you don't just believe their predictions (e.g., everyone will laugh if i speak in a meeting), you get them to test their negative predictions/beliefs out.
      - So you think about which belief will be tested, ask them to rate how strongly they believe in their belief, generate hypotheses, design the experiment (how will it happen), think about variables that can stop them, collect the data and feedback it, ask client to rate how much they believe their initial negative belief now
  - - - Decentralizing from your thinking, getting some distance, relate to ones thoughts differently, seeing thoughts as trains which you can either get on board with (engage with) or let it pass on, you notice it, but don't try and stop the thought
    - - Help the client see which activities they avoid, and how avoiding these activities have bad consequences whereby it maintains depression
    - - Third wave looks at thought processes rather than thought content - metacognitive models really focus on this thought process & how peoples thought processes maintain their disorder i.e., thought processes is how they relate to their thoughts. For example, response style theory is saying that peoples thought process is ruminative, going round in circles, and this thought process maintains their depression
