To explain: I feel like CBT is basically “forget all your problems, they don’t matter” vs other types that may try and actually solve problems?
With my personality type (which probably drove me to be a consultant) I’m not sure I’m content with the former and if something different would help more
I never had direct CBT... How is the approach supposed to work?
I thought it was to help you identify thought patterns, pause it, then shift to the appropriate response you want rather than the response you don't want.
Im my head it goes something like this ( I'm probably totally wrong but I'd like to learn how it is supposed to work and how it actually works. )
My spouse left the dirty dishes in the sink. I feeling temperature rising, ehsrt beat speeding up, fist clenching. PAUSE. I'm getting angry. Normally I would yell at them for being lazy and a slob. But now I know that I'm getting angry because of these physiological changes in my body. I can use some other options besides yelling and criticizing spouse.
1. I can hold it in and just let spouse deal with it but don't hound them about it.
2. I can talk to spouse when I'm less irritated.
MAKE DECISION
I’m trying to decide on CBT vs anxiety medication. The thought of medication and the associated side effects is a bit of a concern.
Shouldn't cbt always be an option, regardless of whether you decide to take meds or not? I'm sure many out there use both too.
