CBT is about how our thoughts shape our feelings and actions. Imagine wearing glasses: pink ones make everything seem bright, while dark ones make the world feel gloomy. These ‘glasses’ are like your thoughts—they change how you see and react to the world.
Suggested Explanation (Ideal Answer)
Denis
CBT consultant and supervisor
“CBT is about how our thoughts shape our feelings and actions. Imagine wearing glasses: pink ones make everything seem bright, while dark ones make the world feel gloomy. These ‘glasses’ are like your thoughts—they change how you see and react to the world.”
Alex responds: So, it’s not important what I think?
Alex replies: Oh, so what I think really matters because it influences my reactions?
Alex reflects: So, if I learn to control my thoughts, I can manage my reactions—my emotions, behaviors, and even physical sensations?
Response:
Gently correct Alex:
“Actually, your thoughts are very important! How you think affects your feelings, actions, and even your physical reactions.”
Response:
Praise Alex for understanding and confirm:
“Exactly! What you think greatly influences how you feel and behave. That’s why learning to manage your thoughts can help you regulate your reactions.”
Response:
Validate and summarize:
“Yes, that’s exactly right! CBT teaches you how to recognize and adjust your thoughts to better handle challenges and improve your well-being.”
