What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach which is used by psychologists and therapist to help promote positive change in individuals, to help alleviate emotional distress, and to address a myriad of psycho/social/behavioural issues.
The Cognitive Model
Cognitive-behavioural therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts
cause our feelings and behaviours, not external things, like people, situations,
and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to
feel / act better even if the situation does not change.
Cognitive Behavioural therapists identify and treat difficulties arising from an individual's irrational thinking, misperceptions, dysfunctional thoughts, and faulty learning. The therapy can be conducted with individuals, families, or groups. Problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, low self esteem, weight issues, OCD and stress are addressed.
What kinds of techniques are used in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Some specific techniques that the therapist may use include, but are not limited to:
Challenging irrational beliefs
Relaxation, education and training
Self monitoring
Cognitive rehearsal
Thought stopping
Communication skills training
Assertiveness skills training
Social skills training
Homework assignments
CBT therapists believe that the clients change because they learn how to think differently and they act on that learning. Therefore, CBT therapists focus on teaching rational self-counselling skills.
CBT is based on the scientifically supported assumption that most emotional
and behavioural reactions are learned. Therefore, the goal of therapy is to
help clients unlearn their unwanted reactions and to learn a new way of reacting.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL HYPNOTHERAPY
If you attend the course at one of the Clinical Hypnotherapy colleges following your basic Hypnotherapy training, the CBT course is delivered with an emphasis on its cohesion with hypnotherapy, transferring CBT into a truly inspirational tool.

"Best course I have been on for ages"
"Well organised and informative"
"I recently completed the CBT training with The Insight Centre. At the beginning I was a bit daunted as the topic seemed very involved and I thought it would be beyond me. However, Sue delivers her subject with great passion and enthusiasm and is extremely knowledgeable about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Sue has a very clear and well thought out lesson plan and she is patient and very encouraging. There is a lot of theory but this is mixed with practical demonstrations and role play which helps to make the lessons informative, fun and enjoyable.
I would recommend this course." - Maddy Scarre.
