At Insights Group, each of our therapists is a specialist in how to apply CBT to specific issues.
What to Expect with CBT Therapy
Most clients seeking individual therapy at Insights Group attend sessions weekly or every-other-week. Attending therapy consistently gives you the best chance to see progress towards your goals. Prior to meeting you, your therapist will have you fill in some forms HERE. These help your therapist learn more about your background and go into your first session prepared with specific questions to ask you.
CBT has people look at the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your therapist will gather information from you about what contributes to the issues you face, such as negative thought patterns, challenging emotional experiences, and behavior patterns that you may feel “stuck” in. CBT helps people develop skills to notice unhelpful thoughts or behavior patterns as they arise and change their reactions in order to create lasting change in their lives.
In CBT, your therapist will be an active participant in your sessions. Therapists using CBT are doing a lot more than smiling, nodding, and saying, “I see.” Therapists and clients are collaborators who navigate goals together. While CBT therapists may develop expertise on a particular issue, they believe that the client is always the expert on themselves, their own life, and their own goals. One of the most important parts of CBT that sets it apart from other therapies is that it has clients enact change in their lives between sessions. Your therapist will help you set specific goals between sessions and support you in developing effective coping skills to navigate them.
