Study Notes
Cognitive Distortions and Therapeutic Techniques
- Cognitive distortions include catastrophizing, disqualifying the positive, overgeneralization, personalization, emotional reasoning, mind reading, labeling, and fortune telling.
- Cognitive distortions can be addressed through therapeutic techniques such as examining evidence related to negative thoughts, identifying unrealistic expectations, and reattributing causes using pie charts.
- Therapeutic techniques also involve changing dichotomous thinking into graduate thinking, generating alternative thoughts, and evaluating the usefulness and accuracy of automatic thoughts and core beliefs.
- Questioning techniques play a crucial role in therapeutic interventions, including evaluating the usefulness and accuracy of automatic thoughts and core beliefs.
- Interventions for negative thinking involve questioning the evidence for and against negative thoughts and considering alternative ways to think in a given situation.
- Avoidance in action can lead clients to want to stop counseling as soon as they feel somewhat better, rather than addressing underlying fears.
- Therapists need to identify avoidance in action when sessions start feeling dry, dull, and intellectual, especially when the client is describing upsetting material in an emotionless or flat way.
- Clients with anxiety may exhibit a significant need for reassurance and frequently ask for reassurance from friends and family that bad things will not happen.
- The need for reassurance may lead clients to pass on the responsibility for decision-making to someone else, hindering their confidence and independence.
- Therapists should aim to identify specific anxious thoughts by picking concrete examples and asking about the associated feelings.
- Identifying and addressing cognitive distortions and anxious thoughts are essential steps in cognitive behavior therapy for clients with symptoms of depression or anxiety.
- Therapists should use a combination of questioning, therapeutic, and intervention techniques to help clients challenge and reframe their negative thought patterns and behaviors.
