Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured approach established through collaboration between therapist and patient. The technique consists of seeking cognitive restructuring of emotions and behaviors through interventions on cognitions based on significant events for the patient.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was created in the 1960s by psychiatrist Aaron Beck, based on his dissatisfaction with the theories of the time about depression. Beck began to notice that his patients with depression had negative and distorted thoughts about themselves, the world and others.
In search of a solution, Beck worked to structure a cognitive model of depression, which resulted in the book Cognitive Therapy of Depression. This short-term therapy is focused on the present and seeks to solve current problems by modifying thoughts and behaviors considered inappropriate and/or useless.
Psychotherapy
As an area of mental health, psychotherapy is the main line of treatment for any issue related to the psyche. To this end, psychological interventions are proposed, the main objectives of which are: _to restore the patient's optimal psychic functioning; _to allow the patient to understand the causes of what is affecting him, so that he can find psychic resources to deal with his difficulties, problems, etc.; _to develop ways of acting in the world, redefining his personality traits; _to solve specific problems that afflict him, as well as to address _questions of a more existential nature.
My Approach
We have all, at some point, experienced conflicting situations in our lives. Situations in which we do not understand our feelings and emotions, in which we see no way out, in which all we are left with are doubts and distrust.
The psychologist is there to help us resolve all these questions and find reasons for these feelings. He is the professional who, through the psychoanalytic approach, helps people in their search for self-knowledge.
The Austrian Sigmund Freud is known as the father of Psychoanalysis. A well-deserved title, considering that he is the creator of this therapeutic line.
But what is it for? In what cases is it indicated? Even today, more than 100 years after its creation, there are many doubts regarding its methodology.
In short, we can say that Psychoanalysis is the study of the unconscious. My role as a psychologist who works with this type of method is, therefore, to guide the patient so that he can find, within his own mind, the answers he needs to cure fears, anxieties and other symptoms.
