Description
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that is provided by the NHS, and CBT Therapists in private practice, to help people with the symptoms of various mental health conditions, including mainly anxiety and depression.
CBT focuses on the way people think, feel and behave, to help people to overcome unhelpful thoughts, emotional and behavioural issues. Our mental health determines how we handle unhelpful thoughts, how we cope with stress, how we relate to others, how we behave, and how we make choices in life. CBT has a wide range of evidence for its efficacy, and it is recommended all over the world.
CBT has a natural synergy with hypnotherapy and research has evidenced that the two approaches can be effectively combined.
This CPD will help you to answer the questions on the AHD CBT Module, however it is also of interest to any solution focused hypnotherapy practitioner who wishes to gain an understanding of CBT and to take away some examples of basic CBT skills to use in your hypnotherapy practice.
