In therapy, irrespective of the treatment approach, client can expect to discuss your life and its challenges with your therapist. Client will also learn to cope-up with upsetting thoughts, difficult situations, unpleasant feelings, and affecting emotions so that, in the end, you may lead a better and more fulfilled life.
To help you better understand the different approaches and techniques and how they can suit your individual needs, listed below are some of the most popular forms of therapy that are practiced by Dr. Sahir:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) :
It is among the most effective talk therapy approaches for treating various mental health issues and disorders. When coping with several problems, including addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, people turn to a cognitive behavioral psychologist for assistance.
As the term describes, it focuses on how people’s thoughts, behaviors, emotional reactions, and actions get influenced by their cognitions. This means that the way you think, your value system, your beliefs about yourself, and your interpretations of the situations you find yourself in affect your everyday actions.
CBT helps you recognize, modify, and reevaluate distorted and unhelpful thoughts and negative behavioral patterns. A mental health professional can aid you by closely examining your thoughts and emotions.
This model of psychological intervention seeks to assist you in recognizing and exploring how actions and behavior get influenced by thinking patterns and feelings. As soon as you become aware of these patterns, you can start learning how to alter your behavior and create new coping mechanisms.
The Different Types
There are various forms of cognitive behavioral therapy. Some of the forms you might see are:
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
As the name suggests, mindfulness is a critical component of MBCT. The emphasis is on altering one’s response to thoughts rather than altering thoughts themselves. For those who experience high levels of stress, anxiety, despair, and chronic pain, it is a particularly beneficial kind of therapy.
In this, you learn to maintain a mindful distance from your thoughts and refrain from judging them. This method of thinking disengages from the vicious loop of toxic thinking, which can increase unpleasant emotions like anxiety, stress, and depression. The objective is to support people in making positive decisions every day and enhance their current situation.
Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
This technique incorporates mindfulness and emotional regulation through talk therapy. It is focused on getting the patient to take control of their unrestrained emotions and moving them towards experiencing those feelings. The next step aims to help the patient live a productive life and assess how spirituality can help them achieve this.
The main focus of this approach is on ‘dialectics’ – which means reconciling the opposites. For example, it could focus on achieving self-acceptance while recognizing the need to change. Therefore, this therapy is most common for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
This treatment approach emphasizes the acceptance of harmful or unwanted thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It asserts that psychological issues occur due to the lack of effectiveness. It also says that controlling your thoughts or blocking negative emotions can worsen your symptoms.
Thus, this approach strives to help patients choose effective and accepting behaviors and commit to them, even in the face of intrusive thoughts and feelings. The goal is to increase mental and emotional flexibility. The patient needs to be present in the here and now, thus advocating the therapeutic use of mindfulness.
Cognitive Therapy (CT)
This technique primarily focuses on cognitions and replacing cognitive distortions with more positive and rational thinking to bring about a change in emotions and behavior.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
This treatment approach generally helps alleviate symptoms of PTSD. It aids people who have experienced trauma and are “stuck” in their thoughts. These patients are in a state of conflict regarding their beliefs of themselves and the world before and after the traumatic event.
CPT involves both the patient and the therapist. Your healthcare professional will help you effectively identify and address the “stuck” points. They do this by assisting you in gathering evidence for or against your self-conceived notions.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
This type encourages people to take action to cope with irrational thoughts and emotions. This is important to develop healthier, more practical ways to control their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
Our cognition, emotions, and behavior are linked. Therefore, examining people’s beliefs about these experiences and emotions is critical to comprehending the impact of the events and situations people encounter.
Problems might arise when people have irrational beliefs about themselves or the world. To get over psychological and mental issues, REBT aims to assist individuals in identifying and changing such beliefs and negative thought patterns.
Eclectic Therapy
Eclectic Therapy, also known as multi-modal or integrative therapy, is an evidence-based and client-oriented therapeutic approach. It uses an eclectic approach, or several theories of psychology, to adapt to the specific needs and circumstances of the client. Thus, eclecticism incorporates multiple theories and ideas rather than focusing and adhering to a single approach.
In this treatment plan, an eclectic therapist can adjust the treatment goals based on the client’s unique needs, desires, expectations, and motivations. Eclectic therapy is frequently employed because of how adaptable it is. The purpose of therapy is to help the client improve personally by using various research-based strategies to help them grow in a meaningful way.
An eclectic therapist does not randomly use various modalities. To successfully assist the client in achieving their goals, the therapist tries to comprehend every intricate element of them. It’s important to comprehend a client’s thoughts, feelings, interactions with others, and other aspects of their life.
The Different Types
There have been various eclectic therapies. Each time, these methods use a variety of strategies to cater to the client’s needs. These types include:
Brief Eclectic Therapy (BET): This is a brief kind of eclectic therapy that frequently combines cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapy elements. It is administered over a limited number of sessions, frequently to address a specific problem. It is often used in managing the symptoms of PTSD by helping the survivors find meaning in their traumatic experiences while developing new coping strategies.
Cognitive Interpersonal Therapy (CIT): This method uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to assist individuals in understanding how their ideas affect their interpersonal connections.
Multimodal Therapy (MMT): This type takes an integrative approach. It combines many strategies from other therapies and aspects of the social-cognitive learning theory. Examining a person’s behavior, mood, senses, visualizations, cognition, relationships, and physical health allows us to determine their unique needs.
Transtheoretical Therapy: This method is concerned with comprehending the phases and procedures of making a change. People can then use this information to work toward accomplishing their objectives, enhancing their relationships, and making positive changes in their life.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy:
It is the pioneering form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It was developed by psychologist Albert Ellis in the 1950s and was previously called rational therapy or rational emotive therapy. The goal of REBT is to identify common irrational beliefs and negative thought patterns that can lead to emotional and behavioral problems. Once these core beliefs have been recognized, the therapist will help you develop strategies to replace these with rational and positive thinking patterns.
According to research, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is an action-oriented approach that can be an efficient therapy method when used properly. A therapist can assist a patient in realizing that an event does not result in consequences. Instead, it is the person’s core beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about the incident, rather than the event itself, that can cause their unfavorable response. A person’s quality of life may be improved when a therapist employs this treatment effectively by assisting them in realizing that they have more control over their reactions than they had previously imagined.
To help understand the psyche of individuals better, Ellis developed concepts such as awfulizing and musterbating. This means that some people tend to make situations awful by catastrophizing. They tend to distort reality by imagining worst-case scenarios or adopting all-or-nothing thinking. Additionally, in the case of musterbating, the person uses an absolutist approach and creates emotional unrest by using words like “must,” “should,” “ought,” and “never.”
Neuro-Linguistic Programming Therapy
NLP uses concepts from neuropsychology, linguistics, and behavioral pattern establishments to help understand and control human behavior. NLP therapists can use this program to influence the behaviors of their clients by promoting self-confidence, developing better learning and communication skills, and helping them achieve higher productivity.
