How Are you: A Recovery Oriented CBTp Clinical Bite
Problems with motivation and connection can be triggered easily and elicits by the clinician. Even through normal, inocuous pleasantries like, How Are you? We will think about the problem it poses and how to address it.
Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) is an extension of the important work of CBT for psychosis (CBTp) to individuals who have struggled to gain benefit from that approach. CT-R privileges the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, problems with connection and motivation. It uses Aaron T. Beck’s cognitive model.

I've shared similar versions of this exercise in different formats, including in Ecotherapy, and will be eager to share some of these options with those I serve. I'm curious about your take on the version of 5 senses (well four) that switches 1 thing you taste with "1 thing you're grateful for."

    • @RecoverWithCBT
      @RecoverWithCBT 11 місяців тому

      Hello Woops. I can only speak theoretically and not clinically about a specific person. Grandiose delusions work as a delusion to meet a meaning. However persecutory delusions act more as unfounded threat beliefs (Freeman). They have 5 identified contributory causal factors, worry, self-confidence, anomalous experiences and sleep disruptions. Each of these can maintain and drive the fear of others.

    • @RippleDrop.
      @RippleDrop. 2 роки тому

      All narcissists have grandiose delusions but they are of a different kind. Typical is abusing people for years and then guilting them (kids often) as if the abuser is the victim and gets rageful when the victims and other don't admire the narcissist. I'd say that is delusional but goes under stunted emotional development, like Donald Trump as a public example. This video touches more psychotic-type delusions.
