CBT in NY and NJ

in other words, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is like physical therapy for your brain, a set of exercises, or skills, to cope better with your challenges. You won’t merely discuss problems; you will receive guidance to learn and apply practical strategies for change. CBT is often misunderstood as “changing how you think to change how you feel and behave.” This is an outdated form of CBT that was popular in the 1990s. Above all, researchers long ago learned we can’t think our way out of complex challenges

Modern CBT in NY and NJ

Modern CBT incorporates mindfulness and is a set of skills that teaches us how to be the observer of our response. That understands our response to be three parts: 1) What we tell ourselves (thoughts). 2) Everything we feel (both emotions and physiological sensations. 3) How we act.

By becoming the observer of these parts of our response, we open ourselves to the possibility of a more successful reaction and one that is in alignment with your life values. We learn to accept instead of push against what we cannot change.

Mindfulness practices also foster the scrutiny and interrogation of our self-talk. Does the self-talk promote positive outcomes and behavior, or does it hinder us through punitive admonitions?  Learning to be the non-judgmental, self-observer encourages more objective appraisals and helps us move toward effective action and a full life.
