Growth Tips [78]: How do cognitive behavioral counselors grow themselves?

Q: Su Xin, I find cognitive behavioral therapy very useful for visitors. How do our cognitive behavioral counselors do their own growth?

Xiao Yu, a psychological counselor, is studying cognitive behavioral therapy. If she wants to be more proficient in this psychological technology, she will come to consult.

@ Su Xin Life Design: Psychological counselors should also have a consulting experience, that is, to consult as visitors and gain personal growth.

In order to fully understand the process of counseling, it is essential to experience cognitive behavioral therapy personally.

Therefore, starting from today, I will share the book "Personal Growth of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists" with you, hoping to be more helpful to your self-growth.

If you are a psychological counselor, you can get the self-growth tool 12 module of cognitive behavioral therapy by reading the following tips. If you are a grower who is interested in psychology, you can also use these 12 tools for self-growth. Help yourself break through faith, improve mood and behavior, and create a new way of world existence.

Before I grow up, I want to share the theoretical concepts behind the growth of this book.

This book is an experiential training strategy based on SP/SR, which provides psychological counselors with a structured experience of applying cognitive behavioral therapy to themselves and reflects on this experience.

In the whole experience, you can choose to pay attention to professional problems or personal problems, and use cognitive behavioral therapy strategies to identify, analyze and solve problems. After practicing cognitive behavioral therapy, you can reflect on your experience of some techniques and record it.

This experiential training strategy can help us experience cognitive behavioral therapy from the inside out, and it can also help us break through our beliefs and improve our emotions and behaviors, thus creating a new way of existence for ourselves.

With the development of the times, today's cognitive behavioral therapy not only pays attention to the content of thinking, but also pays attention to the process and potential model of thinking and behavior, as well as the next training strategy we adopt. It also helps us to pay attention to the thinking process while paying attention to the content of thinking, and try to guide participants to perceive their potential thinking and behavior patterns.

Its second feature is an advantage-based approach. It will integrate the advantages and resources of participants into the consultation, and will understand the whole participants from a systematic perspective, not just problem-oriented.

Thirdly, it also introduces the cultural perspective into the cognitive behavior experience, which helps us to know ourselves better.

Why does it work?

From the perspective of cognitive behavior, it will be considered that a person's growth is stagnant because he understands experience from the perspective of an old existing model, which includes thoughts, emotions, physical and behavioral reactions.

If we can replace the old model with a new existing model, that is, respond to the challenging situation with a new and more adaptive mentality, we can increase the potential for change, that is, replace the old system with a new system.

The new system includes words, images, body movement awareness, metaphors and related memories. It constitutes a vision, which includes "what kind of person you want to be and what kind of person you want others to be". Then, we use new core beliefs, potential assumptions and behavior strategies to strengthen the new way of existence, which can help participants strengthen their positive self-image, so that the new system replaces the old system.

These skills include role-playing, behavior experiment, rehearsal of positive images, feeling and body-oriented strategies, which will be involved in the following skills.

For example, Lao Wang was hit hard at work and it was difficult to get promoted. In this way, he will have a core belief: I am incompetent. Because of this idea, once he encounters difficulties in his work, he will easily lie flat and rot. Such behavior will make his performance worse, but it will strengthen this core belief, which is a vicious circle that is difficult to get rid of.

However, if he discovers through behavioral experiments or other psychological techniques such as mindfulness, it is only his idea, and whether it is an opinion, an idea or a short-lived cognitive experience, it can be verified and may be changed.

He further found that he actually did a good job in some jobs and his ability was still growing. This discovery can correct his high expectations and significantly reduce his anxiety level and incompetence. As a result, he replaced the old way of existence with a new way of existence, and then continued to strengthen himself. Individuals have also achieved cognitive growth, working more actively in reality, and it is not easy to lie flat and ruin. This is the whole process of psychological technology.

So, do you have any old existing models that you want to improve? Welcome to share and communicate. Please continue to look forward to the next growth tips.

I hope today's psychological tips can help you.

Tips:

Today's sharing comes from the personal growth of cognitive behavioral therapists, James Bennitt-Levy and others.

He is a professor of mental health at the University of Sydney Rural Health Center. In his early years, he worked in Oxford Cognitive Therapy Center, and he has rich attainments in cognitive behavioral therapy. He initiated self-experience cognitive behavioral therapy, integrated self-practice into the training and supervision of cognitive behavioral therapy, and instructed hundreds of therapists to use this method.

I am also a psychological counselor with cognitive behavioral therapy orientation, and I am constantly improving cognitive behavioral therapy. In practice, I have also seen many visitors benefit from this therapy and get out of the psychological shadow that has plagued them for many years. I also hope to bring you more cognitive behavioral therapy methods to help them.
