    The present session depicted in the video is Kelly’s third CPT session, where the goal is to identify thoughts and feelings through the use of an A-B-C worksheet while discussing “stuck points” and addressing self-blame issues (Resick, Monson, & Chard, 2014). The clinician notices Kelly expressing slight anxiety and engages her in a deep breathing exercise to help her relax. In the first session, the clinician educated Kelly on PTSD and her presenting symptoms; this was then revisited again in the present session (08:16). An “impact statement” was also assigned in the previous session, and Kelly was asked to present this aloud (10:49). The verbalization of the statement in a safe environment helps the client process their thoughts differently

  • Advantages Of Cinematherapy

    2500 Words  | 5 Pages

    We have not discussed categories of counseling yet, but our first couple of chapters dealt with three ways to look at the mind: psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive. While cinematherapy does not particularly apply to a cognitive approach, psychodynamic and behavioral do. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the client discussing his or her problems with the therapist in hopes of surfacing repressed feelings—basically free association, which is something I will come back to. Behavioral therapy uses conditioning to replace problematic behavior with something more appropriate. A branch of behavioral therapy includes exposure therapy, which places the client in a fictional or nonfictional scenario that the client is disturbed by, ultimately treating his or her anxiety (Green, 2014). The definition is enough to see how cinematherapy relates. Because the therapist is exposing the client to a situation that is similar to their own—one that bothers him or her—it forces the client to face his or her fears. Coming to terms with what bothers the client and why it bothers him or her can help treat his or her anxiety in the end. This applies to me in that the idea of cinematherapy will help me to apply it to a cognitive approach of therapy. Since it is not a topic we have yet covered, it will help me in future lessons understand what it means. Additionally, the word cognitive is a broad term and one that is frequently used in psychology; when I think of cognitive, I will think of cinematherapy, and again, remember its definition. Like how cinematherapy will help me remember what cognitive therapy means, it will help me understand Sigmund Freud’s principles and his psychodynamic

  • Case Study for Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    The main theory that has largely influenced my clinical work at my current practicum site is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). CBT asserts it is an individual’s thoughts and behaviors that directs the individual, so in this case my job would be to help the my client (individual) to find his or her thought that is driving his or her action(s). CBT is a fine dance; it may seem simple, identify the thought and replace the thought with a healthier thought. CBT is quite contrary to being simple, the techniques and timing is a fine juggling and balance act. To elaborate further, after a client has identified his or her thought that has been driving his or her action, they would need to restructure certain things in the their life that will help implement certain behaviors that will lead to a more healthier cognition.

For instance, an individual anguish from a quiet confidence that activates negative thoughts about his or her capacity or display. As a result of these patterns of negative thinking, the person might start averting social issues or passing up opportunities for advancement (Wedding & Corsini, 2014). Cognitive behavior therapy frequently adapted for clients who are comfortable with contemplation. For CBT to be efficient, the Client must be eager to evaluate his or her logic and feelings. Such rumination may be difficult, but it is an excellent way to acquire how internal states impact outward behavior. Cognitive behavior therapy is also appropriate for people looking for an interim alternative treatment that does not inevitably contain pharmacological medication. One of the assets of CBT that aid clients was developing coping strategies that may be beneficial both now and in the

    The cognitive processes that serve as the focus of treatment in CBT include perceptions, self-statements, attributions, expectations, beliefs, and images (Kazdin, 1994). Most cognitive-behavioral based techniques are applied in the context of psychotherapy sessions in which the clients are seen individually, or in a group, by professional therapists. Intervention programs are designed to help clients become aware of their maladaptive cognitive processes and teach them how to notice, catch, monitor, and interrupt the cognitive-affective-behavioral chains to produce more adaptive coping responses (Mah...

  • Psychological Effects of Sexual Assault

    1498 Words  | 3 Pages

    For individuals that have experienced this disturbing event, the effects can be described in terms of different phases in which they go through. During the impact phase, which occurs immediately after the attack, the victim tends to fall apart inside. They often experience shock, which has a sudden and powerful effect on emotions and physical reactions, or denial, which is a state of mind marked by a refusal or inability to recognize and deal with what has occurred (Bard and Sangrey, 1979, pg. 34). When the victim is in shock they often ask themselves “why me?” When going through denial, the victim may have an inability to accept what has happened and they are unsure if the event has really occurred. Sometimes victims in this phase may feel “numb and disorganized”(Bard and Sangrey, 1979, pg. 34). When the victim feels numb, they often experience a detachment from their lives and have a sense that they are separate from the ongoing world around them. D...
