I went to a CBT as a child for my depression and anxiety. I am attending Texas A&M in the fall to get my B.S. Degree! I'm thrilled to be able to help patients going trough the same thing I did.

How you're thinking can trap you in cycles of certain problems. CBT is about breaking cycles of negative thought processes, it doesn't pay off your debts or get your kids back or instantly change your "friends". But it can help keep the mind healthy and help you best deal with a situation.
I was taught cbt, I did all you spoke of, from saying out lound to myself, "stop i will no allow that thought in my head" and replaced it with a positive thought, learning what the root core and beliefs system was, I felt and was abandoned every day when my mom went off to work (latch key child), I felt abandoned. And I was able to to use it so much that I changed my neural pathways (negative and old tapes of negativity) to positive ones. Also coupled with dbt to sit and just let some feelings just be what they are and then (for me) I was able to process them at a later time. I'v e been stable for about 10 years now, CBT changed my life and I'll be forever grateful to those that helped me incorporate it into my life. What a great video Kati, thank you so much.
Thank you Katie. I was diagnosed with (GAD) and I am in CBT therapy. I find you very clear and helpful. I watch your videos and I like every one of them. I have learned a lot more about myself and the therapy I am in because of you.

If your parents dont understand then maybe try your school or college councellors. Even voluntary agencies may be able to help. There are also many online resources availble and self help books. Some online websites that are dedicated to anxiety will have an online programme you can do and its free. Good luck.
I am 29 and when I was your age my parents were in denial of my needs mostly because they saw it as a sign that if I needed therapy it meant they were bad parents, which they were. I took it upon myself to find the help I needed and looked on line and went to social services in my county and found free therapy. I found an amazing therapist and social worker who took me to my appointments. They saved my life. If you feel you need it please honor that. There are ways to do it on your own. I am sorry your folks don't understand and aren't supporting you, but sometimes we have to pioneer our own healing.

Noelle Barnes Thnku for ur words of wisdom but it seems quite difficult as my mind revolves around it 24/7 a cobweb like situation is created BTW are u on Facebook
I truly believe that CBT is the most important thing to ever come out of psychology. And I think if we are going to progress as a species we really need to start teaching it in schools, and get a firm grasp on how our thoughts, emotions and behavior are all intertwined. I've been doing it for 7 weeks and I feel like a completely different person sometimes. I dont get that many nasty thoughts anymore, and when I do I'm able to recognize them and just laugh at how silly they are. Its like recognizing that for the majority of my life I've been unconscious, and have finally woken up and am free to realize my own destiny. And fuck... I've only been doing this for about a month and a half, and have a long way to go. I couldn't imagine where I'd be if I had woken up to this earlier. If we are able to determine our own thoughts, nearly 100% of the time, coming at them with sound logic and reason instead of emotion, we could change the whole world.
Yeah, teach kids to love the abuse capitalism heaps on them. Of course, only a MAN would think emotion is evil. By the way, this opiate of mental health care might make you feel better, but it does NOT address causes. It tells us to mask what we feel FROM OURSELVES. What a load of BS.
CBT doesn't work for me, I've been through heaps of therapists who keep pushing it. I end up feeling worse. I struggle to name my feelings, I can't handle the how does this make you feel etc? I loose focus very quickly..
Thank you so much, Kati! I am a Mental Health Counseling student and honestly, I get more instruction from you than from my instructor this semester. I appreciate your approach and your willingness to put out these videos that help in so many ways.
The great thing about it though is that it teaches you to analyze things unfiltered by emotions. Before when I "overanalyzed" things, it was a spiral that quickly turned into a negative pattern, usually catagorized by guilt, and shame. It helped me look at things from a curious, and non judgmental way, and really validated my emotions without making them the centre of my being.
when I was in the hospital I got invited to a cbt class and It made me want to crawl out of my skin. the woman's voice on the video, her telling me to focus on my already tight chest. The woman's voice on this video as I type. I can't stand it.
I just began my program for a Master's in Social Work. Your videos have been incredibly helpful for framing my mindset as I venture through all of that teaching. My top goal in the field (right now) is to do hands-on talk therapy. Thanks for the content. I hope you are being rewarded for the time and effort you spend putting this information out there.
This really helped me A TON. I'm working as a pre-licensed therapist trying to help clients. I'd love to see more methods of helping clients using CBT. Thank you.
So pleased that everytime I feel in the dark about my mental health and any treatment options, I can always somehow stumble across your videos :) love your content
Kati - Thank you for this explanation and instruction on CBT. Something tells me your patients are fortunate to have you. Authentic and engaging ... you have a gift.
CBT benefits a good number of people. Generalized type of “counseling”. Once realized it doesn’t apply to you ..then what? You can’t just pray away physical damage, abnormalities, surgical recoveries….
Thank you for sharing. As I am in recovery now and working on my healing CBT has helped me a lot to view my mental disorder in a different way. I a work in process.
For most of my life, and especially when I was just young enough to knew what it meant, my parents would use those exact words you you used, "You'll never be good enough." I was already a hyper sensitive individual and had a hard time with sarcasm and hyperbole. Got into cutting at 13, staring drugs 17, was anorexic and finally decided seeing a psychiatrist. All they did was give me pills that made me feel awful. I'd rather be able to feel that just repress everything.
For the example of the father leaving and the "feelings". Luckily my father never left...but I mentally put myself there when you asked the question. My feeling were fear and I would miss him and worry about him. I didn't at all think it would be due to me. So, I think that some of the "feelings" I have had with different life traumas were mostly not about me...but I'm going to keep listening.....You are amazing...I appreciate these videos more than you know...I have spent more time with you in the last 2 days than I have with my psychiatrist in 6 months...lol
Hi Kati, I would like to ask once you have found the underlying assumption by using the downward arrow questioning, what will you do about it (or what tools will you use) to help solve the client's issue?
I'm grateful for this video today. I am having a really hard time with my anxiety/PTSD and also having a really hard time finding a therapist that A takes my insurance, B is accepting new patients, and C I actually like and helps me. Now I have some tools I can use while I keep looking.
If you haven't found a therapist yet perhaps try rethinkmytherapy it's all done though video chat making it very addressable and you have access to many different kinds of therapists.
depending on how well it is applied, or in some cases how flexibly applied. most therapists in practice are somwhat eclectic and may use some skills and ideas from CBT without actually being madly devoted to CBT techniques or protocols. for the most part, I think this is for the best
I've been waiting over 2 years on NHS for Intensive CBT to help me with me PTSD, Depresion and Severe issues with sleep. Hope i can have it soon, before I loose my job, again. Thanks for this video... now know what this CBT is I've been waiting for
CBT is incredible because it's deeply rooted in an understanding of how our brains evolved from primate brains! Emotion is the most difficult major mental phenomena to have a conscious or direct impact on because it's rooted in, evolutionarily speaking, our oldest, most primal and instinctual psychophysiological structures (primarily the limbic system in the temporal lobe of the brain). Cognition (thought), however, comes from the newest and most advanced psychophysiological structures (the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobe of the brain, which finished developing in our earliest human ancestors around 2 million years ago). The prefrontal cortex also gave us language and speech processing... which, of course, allows us to express the way in which we are experiencing cognition and emotion! In terms of CBT, we evolved this thought-producing ability in order to regulate the more instinctual and primal psychological phenomena of dysregulated and extreme emotional response. Cognitive distortions, therefore, are evidence that a dysregulated emotional response is impacting your thought process! And for religious people out there, this basically provides you with the very real existence and transcendent evolution of a "higher power" in humans, which gave us language and speech (aka "the word of God"). Thanks for the helpful video Katie.
I hate reading the comments. I for one have depression and am willing to do anything to get out and can genuinely appreciate videos like this then you get negative people ... Ugh, I can't read the comments anymore.. Sorry I want to get better and bringing more negative energy isn't going to help
I'm bipolar and I get lectured a lot about how I'm "doing it wrong" by people who don't experience what I experience. CBT is basically meditation that can track where your calm places are. Don't listen to other people if they're not adding value. Nobody ever told me that when I was first navigating my life after diagnosis. I hope I don't seem condescending. I tried CBT and I liked it, it can feel extremely rewarding.
I'm so glad I found this video. I've been taking a CBT class for Human Services and I've been totally lost as to what exactly it is, and how it is different from other therapies; this video explained things in a concise and coherent way.
Thank you. Effective is that CBT starts with a persons here-and-now perceived thoughts, core beliefs. Positive thought is powerful. "The reality of man is his thought, not his material body. The thought force and the animal force are partners." ~ Baha'i Faith
I've been in active CBT therapy too long. It's working in reverse for me now. I'm exhausted 😩 from it- frazzled, frayed, overwrought. It's become a burden to continue.
Dont think you've been doing it correctly then. You need to change your thoughts about it being a 'burden'. Its just a technique designed to help you, it can't hurt you. Perhaps its other things about the nature of the therapy itself you're doing that's the issue and you should address those issues.
With the stopping thoughts.. I thought we weren’t supposed to stop intrusive thoughts though? This is why it’s so confusing. Do we give presence to these thoughts or not?
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! they help me so much and i always feel more positive after watching them. You are so nice and you don't talk over complicated so the message gets across very well. thanks!
I do see how CBT is relevant, and I also don't 100% feel it is helpful for long-term. It's great as a tool to change how we think, yet for me personally, I find the Humanistic framework more powerful and helpful towards stopping relapses later down the line. Enjoyed your video, and the content 👍👍
This was really great!! I am about to graduate with my MSW and I love how simply you break down interventions and techniques! Thank you and keep these great videos coming!!!
You talk about flash cards, is there any way to see your flash cards or obtain copies of them. I am in my Masters Degree and everything I can find that would help, would be greatly appreciated.
There are many helps, in the way of forms, etc at psychology.tools online. There's another place called self-help.tools, also. Check them out as maybe they have something you could use.
My therapist started out using CBT(I think that's what she said when I started going) but then she said that she didn't think it was working so she changed it, I don't remember what she's doing now but now I see what she was trying to do. Thanks Kati
Awesome topic! I always wondered what CBT was. Very good explanation. It sounds like something that could be done through journaling if therapy wasn't in the budget???
Very direct advice. Favorite person BPD was a new concept. CBT seems very similar to DBT in interrupting thought process, but CBT can lead further and has a linear since its not borderline. Yes simply a recognized emotion can be stopped by an immediate thought. Buys a very short time for a borderline. Distortion is complicated. Thanks for your angle.
I wanted to like CBT but it made my anxiety so much worse and I felt terrible about myself all the time. I felt like I was in the principal's office all the time. I feel like CBT assumes that all of your thoughts are wrong in some way, or like you should not think too much about your past and it discourages processing.
am not sure these things work..u must get help from doctors...cbt mean like u talk to me about ur problms but lol u have to pay alot of money...peoples dont belive in medicine..but when benifits are higher then side effect so its worth to try..and yeah dont think that much..i knw life is not easy these days..but must take help..these things will not cure untill u do somthing with them..
Understand urself....what is the root of fear, is it work, confidence, boss or something else. When someone gets mad at you, understand you have to learn to avoid the irrelevant shouts, anger, frustration of others and focus on yourself. If you are weak at work take a break from job understand yourself thoroughly and then join something that you will love to do. We have a life of our own if we don't love it who will....?? Fear is natural...but panic attacks are the reason of continuous fear, talk to your boss like an adult....if he or she doesn't understand get out of that shitty place and build yourself on communication, confidence, work expertise, and then join again. Just relax your mind, panic attack will never be there again'
I like your videos like this that explain types of therapy. I find them useful when explaining types of therapy (and that not all therapists are the same!) to loved ones who may have questions about my own mental health journey or be considering getting help themselves.
It takes a while. I'm at the point now that even though I don't feel better about myself, I sometimes have other thoughts too that are more logical. I hope you find CBT helpful.
+Salvatore Escoti that, and knowing the truth about how loved you are, regardless of what you do or don't do, other human beings have shown, due to their own pains or shortcomings....I gotta say I know what I speak of, here.
+Mackenzie Clark You explained exactly what i have been trying to put a name too for a while now......." "...im not all sunshine and dandelions but i am not allowing my emotional side have any control over how i plan on shaping my reality from this moment on..."
Thanks for the information. I am currently in the TTUHSC MRC program. After completing the Selective Theory Sorter, my results reflected a CBT type of approach. Your video has been helpful in understanding the basics of this counseling theory. I will subscribe and continue watching your videos. Much respect.
Vladimir Donk not an expert on this stuff by any means but this is what I got from it. It works with anything to do with unhealthy underlying values. Lets say your upset that your friend doesnt text you back sometimes. So you ask yourself, why am I upset about my friend not texting me back? It may go something like “because thats what friends do” thats what your value is. Then you gotta question that value and ask “Is it possible for a funcional friendship to exist without the need to text back all the time?” Do whatever you need to do to figure that one out, but spoiler, you shouldnt be defining your friendship based on texting in of itself. I hope I made that easy to understand, but like i said, thats just what I got from it. You can apply this kind of thinking on any part of your life that makes it burdensome. Hope this helps!
@@siddhantkarn6412 I take propranolol for anxiety this helps me cope better. Ive had 5 different therapists 4 of them didnt help the last one I connected with and it did help me a little but CBT just isn’t for me
I enjoy listening to you..... Mostly due to how real you deliver your knowledge and epic advice to us.... As if you battle this problem personally... CBT shows me specifically what has been happening.... A specific set of facts and clues that point directly at it.
I was thinking about going back to school to become a school social worker, but after watching some of your videos (especially this one), I think that CBT is the career I've been searching for. This is just my first time hearing about it...so thank you :) Oh yeah...do you think I could still achieve this career is I do my undergrad in social work? Or does it have to be psychology?
+Breanna Nichols I would suggest continuing to pursue a grad degree in Social Work or in Mental Health Counseling. You can practice therapy with a CBT approach and work towards becoming a licensed therapist with either. You likely won't have many opportunities to practice one-on-one CBT-based therapy at the Bachelor's level.
Whatever you can get into gradschool for social work master's clinical track or psychology PhD, (it's competitive). Both will let you use CBT as your therapeutic strategy.
I was always scared of going to a CBT, I was worried deep down. Like what if she thinks I'm crazy & This video helped me get help. Get help, Its there & It helps.
Saying "stop"? That makes sense to me. Sometimes when I can't remember something, I express the question out loud, and then my brain comes up with the right memory a couple of seconds later. I think it says something about how our brains are complex and our consciousness isn't unitary. Hearing myself ask the question gets the question to more of my brain more effectively.
When I listen to Kate's dysthymia definition or signs that recognize this, my jaw slightly dropped. The thoughts of the past things I've said to people I think about and say to myself they were ludicrous or stupid and the thoughts of my future of my life are worrisome. So as Katy said simply I'm worrying about the past and future way too much, occupying my mind.
I went to a CBT as a child for my depression and anxiety. I am attending Texas A&M in the fall to get my B.S. Degree! I'm thrilled to be able to help patients going trough the same thing I did.

I just began my program for a Master's in Social Work. Your videos have been incredibly helpful for framing my mindset as I venture through all of that teaching. My top goal in the field (right now) is to do hands-on talk therapy.
Thanks for the content. I hope you are being rewarded for the time and effort you spend putting this information out there.
This really helped me A TON. I'm working as a pre-licensed therapist trying to help clients. I'd love to see more methods of helping clients using CBT. Thank you.
So pleased that everytime I feel in the dark about my mental health and any treatment options, I can always somehow stumble across your videos :) love your content
Kati - Thank you for this explanation and instruction on CBT. Something tells me your patients are fortunate to have you. Authentic and engaging ... you have a gift.
I need to do this. OCD haunts me because of traumas I’ve suffered in the past that bother to me this day. Thanks for the video.
Kati I am so happy I have found your videos. I am in a battle with anxiety and negative thinking. You give me hope, just wanted to say thanks a lot!
Thank you for existing!
You are so pleasant to watch and listen to! Thank you Miss Kati.
Oh uh... yea. That's what CBT stands for.

CBT benefits a good number of people. Generalized type of “counseling”. Once realized it doesn’t apply to you ..then what? You can’t just pray away physical damage, abnormalities, surgical recoveries….
From now on, I will recommend CBT to all my friends
Buyer beware. Just because you train yourself to think differently about negative things does not change reality.
Thank you for sharing. As I am in recovery now and working on my healing CBT has helped me a lot to view my mental disorder in a different way. I a work in process.
I had to rewatch this because the first time I spent the entire video paying attention to the yoga frog in the background.
this is the therapy i’m doing and after having so many different therapists since i was 5, this is the one that’s helped.
For most of my life, and especially when I was just young enough to knew what it meant, my parents would use those exact words you you used, "You'll never be good enough." I was already a hyper sensitive individual and had a hard time with sarcasm and hyperbole. Got into cutting at 13, staring drugs 17, was anorexic and finally decided seeing a psychiatrist. All they did was give me pills that made me feel awful. I'd rather be able to feel that just repress everything.
For the example of the father leaving and the "feelings". Luckily my father never left...but I mentally put myself there when you asked the question. My feeling were fear and I would miss him and worry about him. I didn't at all think it would be due to me. So, I think that some of the "feelings" I have had with different life traumas were mostly not about me...but I'm going to keep listening.....You are amazing...I appreciate these videos more than you know...I have spent more time with you in the last 2 days than I have with my psychiatrist in 6 months...lol
Hi Kati, I would like to ask once you have found the underlying assumption by using the downward arrow questioning, what will you do about it (or what tools will you use) to help solve the client's issue?
I'm grateful for this video today. I am having a really hard time with my anxiety/PTSD and also having a really hard time finding a therapist that A takes my insurance, B is accepting new patients, and C I actually like and helps me. Now I have some tools I can use while I keep looking.
If you haven't found a therapist yet perhaps try rethinkmytherapy it's all done though video chat making it very addressable and you have access to many different kinds of therapists.
Thanks Kati, this awesome explanation I am middle of doing my masters in CBT
Alot of your videos have opened my eyes up to alot of this. Man I wish my therapist was more direct on what my disorders are. Thank you! :)
I dont think CBT is very therapeutic...
How come?
No shit, unless you're that kind of person.
Bruh the feeling of pulling on my large balls is how I get in a zen state
depending on how well it is applied, or in some cases how flexibly applied. most therapists in practice are somwhat eclectic and may use some skills and ideas from CBT without actually being madly devoted to CBT techniques or protocols. for the most part, I think this is for the best
C Fish Based on what analysis and research result you think it’s not therapeutic?
I've been waiting over 2 years on NHS for Intensive CBT to help me with me PTSD, Depresion and Severe issues with sleep. Hope i can have it soon, before I loose my job, again. Thanks for this video... now know what this CBT is I've been waiting for
CBT is incredible because it's deeply rooted in an understanding of how our brains evolved from primate brains! Emotion is the most difficult major mental phenomena to have a conscious or direct impact on because it's rooted in, evolutionarily speaking, our oldest, most primal and instinctual psychophysiological structures (primarily the limbic system in the temporal lobe of the brain). Cognition (thought), however, comes from the newest and most advanced psychophysiological structures (the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobe of the brain, which finished developing in our earliest human ancestors around 2 million years ago). The prefrontal cortex also gave us language and speech processing... which, of course, allows us to express the way in which we are experiencing cognition and emotion!
In terms of CBT, we evolved this thought-producing ability in order to regulate the more instinctual and primal psychological phenomena of dysregulated and extreme emotional response. Cognitive distortions, therefore, are evidence that a dysregulated emotional response is impacting your thought process! And for religious people out there, this basically provides you with the very real existence and transcendent evolution of a "higher power" in humans, which gave us language and speech (aka "the word of God").
Thanks for the helpful video Katie.
I hate reading the comments. I for one have depression and am willing to do anything to get out and can genuinely appreciate videos like this then you get negative people ... Ugh, I can't read the comments anymore.. Sorry I want to get better and bringing more negative energy isn't going to help
I agree.
I'm bipolar and I get lectured a lot about how I'm "doing it wrong" by people who don't experience what I experience. CBT is basically meditation that can track where your calm places are. Don't listen to other people if they're not adding value. Nobody ever told me that when I was first navigating my life after diagnosis. I hope I don't seem condescending. I tried CBT and I liked it, it can feel extremely rewarding.
Forget them man, the internet is full of trolls who are really just pussys sitting behind a computer desk. Please dont let them ruin your recovery.
Don’t you find it a bit hypocritical to criticize people for negative comments while starting your comment “I hate”?
I'm so glad I found this video. I've been taking a CBT class for Human Services and I've been totally lost as to what exactly it is, and how it is different from other therapies; this video explained things in a concise and coherent way.
My therapist uses both cbt and dbt stuff with me as well as some exposure therapy for trauma stuff which help all together with my ED treatment
Thank you. Effective is that CBT starts with a persons here-and-now perceived thoughts, core beliefs. Positive thought is powerful. "The reality of man is his thought, not his material body. The thought force and the animal force are partners." ~ Baha'i Faith
I've been in active CBT therapy too long. It's working in reverse for me now. I'm exhausted 😩 from it- frazzled, frayed, overwrought. It's become a burden to continue.
Dont think you've been doing it correctly then. You need to change your thoughts about it being a 'burden'. Its just a technique designed to help you, it can't hurt you. Perhaps its other things about the nature of the therapy itself you're doing that's the issue and you should address those issues.
CBT saved my life. After that I became a CBT therapist and CBT wisdom promotor to help as many people as possible.
CBT is such a wonderful modality!
With the stopping thoughts.. I thought we weren’t supposed to stop intrusive thoughts though? This is why it’s so confusing. Do we give presence to these thoughts or not?
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! they help me so much and i always feel more positive after watching them. You are so nice and you don't talk over complicated so the message gets across very well. thanks!
Anxiety is settled through deep breathing. I’d love to connect.
I do see how CBT is relevant, and I also don't 100% feel it is helpful for long-term. It's great as a tool to change how we think, yet for me personally, I find the Humanistic framework more powerful and helpful towards stopping relapses later down the line.
Enjoyed your video, and the content 👍👍
It all depends whether you as an individual take massive action or used it rarely.
This was really great!! I am about to graduate with my MSW and I love how simply you break down interventions and techniques! Thank you and keep these great videos coming!!!
I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and the phycologist says that he is going to use CBT instead of DBT. Will CBT help me?
Michaela Jade De Sousa certainly CBT works almost all the time
Yes but only if it's used alongside DBT. DBT should be your go-to method for treating Borderline.
I think CBT has helped me a lot with BPD
I have BPD and do BOTH DBT and CBT and find them both helpful, in different ways.
i do both and they work amazingly :)))
Wow, Kati, thanks....I feel some sense of possible hope...You are my only medical help or therapist...God bless you.
CBT never worked for me.. maybe I wasn’t open to it, but I felt like it wasn’t doing anything 🤷🏽♀️
I recommend a parachute

What??
CBT is so so productive for our thoughts! iv'e needed this and it is on going. Kati has described it really well! thank you !!!
You talk about flash cards, is there any way to see your flash cards or obtain copies of them. I am in my Masters Degree and everything I can find that would help, would be greatly appreciated.
There are many helps, in the way of forms, etc at psychology.tools online. There's another place called self-help.tools, also. Check them out as maybe they have something you could use.
Thank you
My therapist started out using CBT(I think that's what she said when I started going) but then she said that she didn't think it was working so she changed it, I don't remember what she's doing now but now I see what she was trying to do. Thanks Kati
she is like the Jenna Marbles or Grace Helbig of therapy
XD

Can I say your Awesome, I am a fan. You always have great explanations to my questions and you always have answers to ALL my questions. Thanks!!!
Awesome topic! I always wondered what CBT was. Very good explanation. It sounds like something that could be done through journaling if therapy wasn't in the budget???
Very direct advice. Favorite person BPD was a new concept. CBT seems very similar to DBT in interrupting thought process, but CBT can lead further and has a linear since its not borderline. Yes simply a recognized emotion can be stopped by an immediate thought. Buys a very short time for a borderline. Distortion is complicated. Thanks for your angle.
My psychiatrist told me to look this up, can you give us a website or anything to learn more about how to work with it?
Go on pornhub and look up cbt. Tons of info there 😂
I wanted to like CBT but it made my anxiety so much worse and I felt terrible about myself all the time. I felt like I was in the principal's office all the time. I feel like CBT assumes that all of your thoughts are wrong in some way, or like you should not think too much about your past and it discourages processing.
I really need help
am not sure these things work..u must get help from doctors...cbt mean like u talk to me about ur problms but lol u have to pay alot of money...peoples dont belive in medicine..but when benifits are higher then side effect so its worth to try..and yeah dont think that much..i knw life is not easy these days..but must take help..these things will not cure untill u do somthing with them..
God Bless you I hope that all is well
How are you doing now?
Very helpful- I am finishing my master's in MFT. This was very clear and connected well to the premise and purpose of CBT.
i get panic attacks at work..can anyone help me. :(
When my boss gets mad.. i get so nervous, heart races, cant talk.. etc.. i hate speakng up
Understand urself....what is the root of fear, is it work, confidence, boss or something else.
When someone gets mad at you, understand you have to learn to avoid the irrelevant shouts, anger, frustration of others and focus on yourself.
If you are weak at work take a break from job understand yourself thoroughly and then join something that you will love to do.
We have a life of our own if we don't love it who will....??
Fear is natural...but panic attacks are the reason of continuous fear, talk to your boss like an adult....if he or she doesn't understand get out of that shitty place and build yourself on communication, confidence, work expertise, and then join again.
Just relax your mind, panic attack will never be there again'
I like your videos like this that explain types of therapy. I find them useful when explaining types of therapy (and that not all therapists are the same!) to loved ones who may have questions about my own mental health journey or be considering getting help themselves.
Damn this video was 6 years ago
C.B.T. and my Christian Faith helped me overcome what I thought were mountains.
I became 'me' again and accepted who I am.
So liberating.
And CBT can change my negative feelings about myself?
+Salvatore Escoti Yes. If you spend enough time doing it. The idea of CBT is to challenge your negative thoughts.
Mackenzie Clark I hope it will help me a to feel a little bit less disgusted of myself
It takes a while. I'm at the point now that even though I don't feel better about myself, I sometimes have other thoughts too that are more logical. I hope you find CBT helpful.
+Salvatore Escoti that, and knowing the truth about how loved you are, regardless of what you do or don't do, other human beings have shown, due to their own pains or shortcomings....I gotta say I know what I speak of, here.
+Mackenzie Clark
You explained exactly what i have been trying to put a name too for a while now......."
"...im not all sunshine and dandelions but i am not allowing my emotional side have any control over how i plan on shaping my reality from this moment on..."
Thanks for the information. I am currently in the TTUHSC MRC program. After completing the Selective Theory Sorter, my results reflected a CBT type of approach. Your video has been helpful in understanding the basics of this counseling theory. I will subscribe and continue watching your videos. Much respect.
Is it effective with social anxiety?
Vladimir Donk not an expert on this stuff by any means but this is what I got from it. It works with anything to do with unhealthy underlying values. Lets say your upset that your friend doesnt text you back sometimes. So you ask yourself, why am I upset about my friend not texting me back? It may go something like “because thats what friends do” thats what your value is. Then you gotta question that value and ask “Is it possible for a funcional friendship to exist without the need to text back all the time?” Do whatever you need to do to figure that one out, but spoiler, you shouldnt be defining your friendship based on texting in of itself. I hope I made that easy to understand, but like i said, thats just what I got from it. You can apply this kind of thinking on any part of your life that makes it burdensome. Hope this helps!
Just love the way you communicate these things, serious but fun, thank you
I want your sweater... Where did you get it?
Also, good, detailed explanation of CBT!
I noticed her sweater too and was like so pretty, lol
Im receiving CBT at the moment for depression/anxiety and this has helped me understand the sort of therapy im receiving. Thank you
Are you out of your anxiety through cbt?
@@siddhantkarn6412 yes but unfortunately it didn’t help me
@@Gemma2811 what helped you to overcome anxiety?is it still bothering you?
@@siddhantkarn6412 I take propranolol for anxiety this helps me cope better. Ive had 5 different therapists 4 of them didnt help the last one I connected with and it did help me a little but CBT just isn’t for me
@@Gemma2811 now you are doing well or not with medication.and any side effects with medicine.and from how long you are taking it?
love her...
I enjoy listening to you.....
Mostly due to how real you deliver your knowledge and epic advice to us....
As if you battle this problem personally...
CBT shows me specifically what has been happening.... A specific set of facts and clues that point directly at it.
revising for my exam tomorrow.. thannnkkk youuuuu for making these videos! hopefully you're going to help me pass :P
After 5 years did u pass?
Yes, did you?
I am enjoying learning about CBT. This presentation has been very helpful. Thank you very much.
I was thinking about going back to school to become a school social worker, but after watching some of your videos (especially this one), I think that CBT is the career I've been searching for. This is just my first time hearing about it...so thank you :) Oh yeah...do you think I could still achieve this career is I do my undergrad in social work? Or does it have to be psychology?
+Breanna Nichols I would suggest continuing to pursue a grad degree in Social Work or in Mental Health Counseling. You can practice therapy with a CBT approach and work towards becoming a licensed therapist with either. You likely won't have many opportunities to practice one-on-one CBT-based therapy at the Bachelor's level.
Whatever you can get into gradschool for social work master's clinical track or psychology PhD, (it's competitive). Both will let you use CBT as your therapeutic strategy.
This information is so useful. I was struggling to understand the topic but you made so clear to me. Thanks!
C O C K A N D B A L L T O R T U R E
I was always scared of going to a CBT, I was worried deep down. Like what if she thinks I'm crazy & This video helped me get help. Get help, Its there & It helps.
Where did you get those cards from?
In AutoZone dumbass
Very helpful, you communicate so well in a casual way. Thanks for sharing and helping us!
06:20 had me in stitches 😂
Saying "stop"? That makes sense to me. Sometimes when I can't remember something, I express the question out loud, and then my brain comes up with the right memory a couple of seconds later. I think it says something about how our brains are complex and our consciousness isn't unitary. Hearing myself ask the question gets the question to more of my brain more effectively.
Great video, this deserves alot more views. Informative, easy to listen to and a very good way of explaining what this is. Thank you!
clock and ball turtle

Took me a bit of thinking after reading your comment what all this other comments are about.
When I listen to Kate's dysthymia definition or signs that recognize this, my jaw slightly dropped. The thoughts of the past things I've said to people I think about and say to myself they were ludicrous or stupid and the thoughts of my future of my life are worrisome. So as Katy said simply I'm worrying about the past and future way too much, occupying my mind.
you look like Pam from the office!! you are great ! grettings from Mexico!
Thanks for your time.
Those flash cards are amazing! Did you make them or get them from somewhere?
