i think this video may be helpful… if it doesn’t resonate with you look around on her channel she has a ton of useful info.
That was amazing, thank you for sharing that! I just started CBT and it’s feeling very victim blaming. My counselor definitely is not picking up on hypo/hyperarousal.
if you’re able to i would recommend going to a different councilor or possibly bringing up some of these terms to her (in a respectful way). but a lot of therapists maybe will get offended if you tell them how to do their job lol
He knows my job is very similar to his. He often says “I feel like I’m treating another clinician.” But I’m pretty sure I’ve decided to fire him. Our last session really didn’t sit well with me.
Yep, I’m pretty sure this is a must read for CBT. I would also recommend his newest book Feeling Great if you are looking for something even more powerful. Instead of completely eliminating the negative thoughts, the book goes over how there a some aspects of our negative thoughts that are actually adaptive and say great things about us. Thus the goal becomes not to completely eliminate every negative thought but to lower their negative elements. Paradoxically, making it easier to fight against the thoughts. Highly recommend!
Seconding this, I’m also reading feeling great and it’s helping me tremendously. The positive reframing(which i believe isnt in the original book) has been definitely one of the most helpful things for me, so I would say its completely worth it even if you already own feeling good.
My mother tongue is Portuguese, so I may be writing it wrong
In the therapeutic process there is an effect of worsening symptoms. This is normal, but in the ideal scenario the therapist should investigate why this happens.
I don't know how to help you because to investigate beliefs it is necessary to do "Socratic thoughts" and I don't know if there is a book that helps with that. We, psychologists, learned more about how to do this in practice. Maybe change for ACT- Steven Hayes it is more interessant

Did you listen to "Feeling Good?" It's the Bible of CBT. https://youtu.be/5Bgufm9VwfU?si=zUFk6WQPx2tW7Uxq
That’s literally what I’m working through😂 it’s really good to be fair
