Are you Interested in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
‘What people think about you is not important. What you think about yourself means everything’
I suppose it’s quite an easy way to get to grips with CBT therapy. With CBT you look at how you think about experiences and how they impact you, paying attention to how you might change this thinking.
At first it might sound a little like saying, ‘Your suffering is all your own fault, you are thinking about it all wrong.’ but another way of looking at it is that ‘You have the potential to alleviate your suffering. You cannot change your experiences but there is potential to hope that you could live differently with them’
It’s not for everyone but when the circumstances are favourable it can be extremely affective.
