During times of mental distress the way the person sees and judges themselves and the things that happens to them alters.\u00a0 Things tend to become more extreme and unhelpful.\u00a0 This can worsen how the person feels and causes them to act in ways that keep their distress going.<\/p><p>Therapists will aim to work jointly with the person to help them begin to identify and then change their extreme thinking and unhelpful behaviour.\u00a0 By doing this, the result is a significant improvement in how the person feels and lives their day to day life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-169afe3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"169afe3\"

and now, and relies on the therapist and client developing a shared view of the individual\u2019s problem.\u00a0 This then leads to identification of personalised, usually time-limited therapy goals and strategies which are continually monitored and evaluated.\u00a0 CBT is inherently empowering in nature, the outcome being to focus on specific psychological and practical skills (e.g. in reflecting on and exploring the meaning attributed to events and situations and re-evaluation of those meanings) aimed at enabling the client to tackle their problems by harnessing their own resources.\u00a0 The acquisition and utilisation of such skills is seen as the main goal, and the active component in promoting change with an emphasis on putting what has been learned into practice between sessions (\u201chomework\u201d).\u00a0 Thus, the overall aim is for the individual to attribute improvement in their problems to their own efforts, in collaboration with the psychotherapist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

client\u2019s problem.\u00a0 The effectiveness of CBT is supported by evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), uncontrolled trials, case series and case studies.\u00a0 It is used in the treatment of common mental health problems, including the anxiety disorders, generalised anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, bulimia and depression as identified by a host of recent reviews by NICE, SIGN and other review bodies.\u00a0 CBT models have also been developed for use in an increasing range of mental health and health difficulties including severe and enduring mental health problems, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, anger control, pain, adjustment to physical health problems, insomnia and organic syndromes, such as early stage dementia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cognitive
