Cognative Behavioral Therapy

Posted by Pandabear on January 26, 2004, at 19:58:43

Today, My therapist started me on a CBT exercise where I was to look at a phrase or sentence that was negative and turn it into a positive statement...It was almost like doing school work and I really stink at school...so it was really frustrating for me. Yet she kept letting me know that I was doing a great job...(I didnt agree)I dont really understand CBT at all. A lot of the phrases applied to me though because I think negative all the time unfortunately...but Im really confused about this type of therapy..can anyone explain CBT to me?? On an exercise like the one I did, is it supposed to open up more areas to talk about? I found myself reading a sentence and then going on about how it applied to my life. I know you cant do therapy wrong..but I didnt want to be talking about something that I didnt need to be going in to..does that make sense? I dont know..im just confused about it I guess.....any help would be great!
