5. The link between CBT and anger
March 22, 2018

The basic hypothesis of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is that our emotions are greatly influenced by our cognitions. Or, put in plain English, "we feel what we think". Anger is, of course, a very common emotion and as such is not necessarily a problem. Getting angry occasionally can be entirely appropriate - I think we can all empathise with people who are angry because their car's been stolen or someone's spreading rumours about them. But anger can get out of hand - either through becoming too frequent or becoming too intense - and this certainly can be a problem. And with ... (read more)

9. A breakdown of CBT
March 22, 2018

The drug companies are at it again, they and the medication enthusiasts. As far as they're concerned, all therapy is no more helpful than having a chat to an old friend. Doesn't benefit you one bit, except for the old saw; 'a problem shared is a problem halved.' It can't be denied that there's been a great increase in psychopharmacology over the past ten years and of course the marketing efforts have more than kept pace accordingly. So it's now becoming 'de rigeur' to look upon any form of therapy as costly, ineffective and a waste of time. The result of all this is that patients who form... (read more)

Cognitive psychotherapy is the therapy of thoughts... cognitions are just thoughts. The basis of cognitive psychotherapy is that a thought creates an emotion, therefore our emotions are a product of our thoughts. Emotions make behaviours which is why behaviourism combines so well with cognitive psychotherapy. A thought creates an emotion which creates a behaviour or action. This means that ... (read more)

16. The need for good CBT
January 05, 2018

Background: Since the late 60s I've followed a progression of fashionable therapies and studied others back to the turn of the previous Century. I've seen little genuinely new. Mostly just repackaging under new authorship. Long before the term "CBT" became popularised psychologists were making full use of it but they simply talked of an "eclectic cognitive restructuring approach" or "behaviour modification techniques." Then there's the question of the effectiveness of one therapy compared to another. There seems to be no dearth of impressive looking research proving that each therapy is superi... (read more)

20. An Exploration Of Mother Daughter Relationships
June 04, 2017

It is a natural part of my role as a Mental Health Therapist that I am continually challenging myself on many of the key questions of how we can guide ourselves to better psychological health.

The relationship that we, as daughters, have with our mothers is perhaps the most significant we have as girls and women. Daughters who receive insufficient maternal warmth and validation from their mothers can suffer fr... (read more)
