The CBT Model - Here And Now worksheet introduces clients to the cognitive behavioral model, detailing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and influence clients' difficulties.
CBT Model – Here And Now
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) suggests that difficult feelings don’t come directly from what happens to us, but from our thoughts or ‘interpretations’ of these experiences. Our thoughts and feelings can also influence our actions, shaping how we respond to events.
By breaking down difficult experiences into their core components – thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and context – you can start to see how these elements interact.
This CBT Model – Here And Now does exactly that. It can give you insights your difficulties and responses to events, and help you identify areas where you can make small, meaningful changes.
Overview
Formulation is a key component of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and essential to effective practice. The CBT Model - Here And Now worksheet is a simple, descriptive formulation that aims to introduce clients to the cognitive behavioral model, and illustrates the role that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors play in their difficulties. It can be used to familiarize clients with the cognitive behavioral model and its key concepts by illustrating how these concepts (e.g., thoughts, emotions, and behavior) are related; explaining connections between problem areas (e.g., anxiety and insomnia); breaking complex or distressing experiences down into smaller parts; identifying steps towards change.
