Please note that this is a “follow-on” article. It is best read after my articles “Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Negative Core Beliefs (NCBs) – Causes” and “Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Negative Core Beliefs (NCBs) – Identification”. What can be done about Negative Core Beliefs? There are several options open to a CBT Therapist, but in my experience as a Psychiatrist and Therapist in Edinburgh I find that the following method is particularly effective. Firstly, the method is to challenge these Negative Core Beliefs, in much the same way that a CBT Therapist would challenge a person’s Negative Automatic Thoughts. The CBT Therapist and the client can look for evidence…. Click Here to Read More

Are they trying to confuse the rest of us?I don’t really think they use it all the time to confuse the rest of us mere mortals, okay not all the time anyway.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT) is an effective treatment for a wide range of psychological and emotional problems. The underlying theory of CBT is that our emotions are affected by our cognitions – put another way, “We feel what we think”. As a Psychiatrist and Therapist in Edinburgh I use CBT techniques extensively in the treatment of common problems such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). CBT views emotional problems as the result of unhealthy and irrational thinking. It employs terms such as Negative Automatic Thoughts and Thinking Errors to describe the different ways in which unhealthy thinking can cause emotional problems. Having identified these….
