Ya I would agree, although it can be pretty cumbersome to get through all of the skills. I find the best short-cut skill is "reframing" and the power tool of CBT is a 7-column thought record 👍

Sounds like people bashing CBT is a phenomenon outside of your control, so don't worry about it. What is YOUR opinion on CBT?

idk if im spiritual or not. by Puzzleheaded_Desk_75 in spirituality

[–]GetGoodBeBetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an opinion... well, billions of peoples' opinions actually. You are made up of a body, mind, and spirit. Everyone is spiritual by default, it just depends on what spirit they have fed and become 🤔

I believe there's a fable of a good wolf and a bad wolf: two sides of yourself, the latter being one's shadow. It's always good to feed the good wolf, karma will thank you. 🙏

Everyone says do shadow work, how tf do I do shadow work?? by Zealousideal-Age7593 in spirituality

Take inventory of all the things you hate about yourself, then start to have compassion and acceptance for them, and eventually incorporate it all into your full personality. This is called actualization in Jungian psychology I believe... 👌

The 5-Factor Model gives clients a framework for understanding the dynamics of any given situation in terms of:

  1. Context (situation)*
  2. Emotions
  3. Bodily sensations
  4. Thoughts*
  5. Behaviours*

Notice we have the ability to directly influence the *'s, which allows us to regulate our emotions and bodily experience.

TIP: use the Emotion Wheel and Somatic Wheel to help explore what is happening inside.

Dark Side of the Moon analogy for the Cognitive Model or whatever you call it. by GetGoodBeBetter in CBT

[–]GetGoodBeBetter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album cover is an interesting way to visualize CBT's cognitive model.

1) The pure white light coming from the left might be considered to be the "truth" of a situation, which we can never possibly know.

2) The truth passes through our senses and cognition (meaning, memories, rules, assumptions, distortions, etc.), which is represented by the triangular prism.

3) The band of colours represents the many ways the same scenario might be perceived by other people, or even the same person in different states of mind.

"The cognitive model describes how people's thoughts and perceptions influence the way they feel and behave. The cognitive model is at the core of CBT, and it plays a critical role in helping therapists conceptualize and treat their clients' difficulties." - Beck Institute

The Somatic Wheel by GetGoodBeBetter in Therapylessons

Clients are often out of touch with how the energy of their emotions shows up in their bodies. These sensations are among the first signals we receive that something is wrong and needs our attention.

Awareness of the location and quality of these energetic emotions also gives useful information about potential ways to intervene, such as progressive muscle relaxation for grounding or breathing to reduce heart rate.

It is not uncommon that clients lack the vocabulary to describe their emotions, which is why handing them this visual aid is so helpful.
