I don't think many people realize how valuable it is for someone to break down all of your problems like this. It is extremely helpful to many people. You're so into your own life, you don't realize the solutions or the real reasons for things all the time. This only happened in 5 minutes, so imagine what it would be like to have a real season or repeating sessions.
I like to play a game with CBT At the time I use it I also put a scripture with it. The best instruction I`ve seen teaching CBT was with People that put a Very High Value into watching dysfunctional automatic thoughts go away then Healing for their client.
I am so excited by Beck's comments, because interestingly Refocussing Therapy (an actual New Zealand created & researched therapy) includes a spiritual, God perspective, called God Spaces, which enables a refocus to bring about remarkable changes.
Interesting. I am a counselling student and have never come across this form of therapy. I have personally been looking for approaches with a spiritual dimension. Any resources you can recommend?
What’s happening here, cognitive restructuring (challenging client’s non adaptative thoughts) or mentalisation (increasing the client’s ability to read self and other people’s emotions and intentions)? Maybe both explain different processes that are happening at the same time. One comes from the cognitive model, and the other one comes from the psychodynamic model. Just different perspectives of the same process. How can we integrate different schools of psychotherapy?
Yeming Lin Ye mentalization does not derive primarily from psychoanalysis, such as observing ego/supergo concepts any longer amongst empirically-rigorous psychologists, but has emerged as much out of the cognitive developmental and attachment theory work than anywhere else. I think it is arguable that one would require metacognitive abilities to then truly understand and benefit from cognitive restructuring techniques. If one struggles to think about thinking (metacognition) it would serve to reason such people would also struggle identifying automatic thoughts and/or core beliefs for effective CBT. Maybe?
@@forensicphdmmp that's correct. Without metacognition you can't be mindful and therefore defuse oneself from thoughts or reframe the unhelpful thoughts.
I had the same thought. I view much of this as mentalization and did not fully agree with his simplified take on psychodynamic perspectives. He integrated both
What therapies like CBT get wrong, demonstrated by a simple recipe for happiness. Essential to all psychotherapies is the principle that core affect (feeling bad or good) is dependent upon restructuring what one thinks about, or the ‘normative’ aspects of experience. However, for the field of affective neuroscience, core affect is instead dependent upon ‘how’ one thinks, or the ‘abstract’ aspects of experience. If this is true, then the personal control of positive affect can effectively bypass psycho-therapeutic interventions and make ‘happiness’ simply a matter of rearranging abstract aspects of one’s perceptual world. The virtue of this approach is its simplicity, predictive power, and testability, so it has a low shelf life if wrong. An exemplar of this is a ‘recipe for happiness’ proposed below. In affective neuroscience, it is well known that behaviors that involve continuous high and positive act/outcome discrepancy (gaming, gambling, creative work) correspond to elevated dopaminergic activity and a feeling of arousal, but not pleasure. However, for many individuals engaging in similar activity, a feeling of pleasure is also reported, but only when their covert musculature is inactive (i.e., a state or rest). Because relaxation activates opioid systems, and tension inhibits them, it is postulated that dopaminergic activity stimulates opioid activity, but only during resting states. This hypothesis can be easily tested and is described in greater detail below. If correct, it will demonstrate for the first time that elevated and sustained arousal and pleasure, or ‘eudaemonia’ or ‘happiness’ can be induced easily through simple modifications of abstract perceptual properties of behavior that anyone can easily do throughout the day. THE CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT OF POSITIVE AFFECT AFFECT AND MOTIVATION Opioid and dopamine systems represent bundles of neurons or ‘nuclei’ in the mid brain that are respectively responsible for the affective states of pleasure and attentive arousal, and sub-serve the neural processes that govern motivation. OPIOID AND DOPAMINE SYSTEMS ARE ACTIVATED BY DIFFERENT STIMULI EITHER VIRTUAL (COGNITIVE) OR REAL Eating and drinking, having sex, and relaxing or resting all activate opioid systems, whereas the anticipation or experience of positive act-outcome discrepancy (or positive surprises or meaning) activate dopamine systems. OPIOID AND DOPAMINE SYSTEMS CAN CO-ACTIVATE EACH OTHER Taking our pleasures increases our attentive arousal, and increasing our attentive arousal accentuates our pleasure. If these systems are concurrently activated both are accentuated or affectively ‘bootstrapped’, as both pleasure and attentive arousal will be higher due to their synergistic effects. OPIOID AND DOPAMINE SYSTEMS CAN BE CO-ACTIVATED THROUGH THE ARRANGEMENT OF SPECIFIC ACT-OUTCOME EXPECTANCIES OR RESPONSE CONTINGENCIES As characterized by the well documented ‘flow response’ (pp.82-86), consistently applied contingencies that elicit pleasurable resting states and consistent attentive arousal result in self-reports of heightened pleasure and energy. This emotional experience can be easily replicated by simultaneously applied contingencies that elicit rest (mindfulness protocols) and meaning (imminent productive behavior and its uniform positive implications). To achieve complete rest and accentuate positive affect, these contingencies must be applied for periods of at least a half hour or more. Just as one sets meditative sessions to last for a set time period and frequency to be effective, so mindfulness and meaning sessions must be similarly arranged, with cumulative sessions if possible charted to provide proper feedback of efficacy. Finally, the intensity of positive affect will scale to the importance or salience of moment to moment meaningful behavior, with the more meaningful the task the higher the pleasurable affect. IMPLICATIONS Affect is as much an aspect of how information is arranged as what information is, or the abstract rather than normative properties of behavior. It follows that as a positively affective state, happiness is not just a product of what we think, but how we think, and derives not only from our pleasures but also from our incentives. Positive incentives can accentuate those very pleasures that we wish to maximize, and conversely, associated pleasure will increase the ‘appetitive value’ or ‘liking’ of incentives (or in other words, increase the value of productive work), and all sustained by simple choices within our grasp, as is ultimately happiness itself.

But clinging to a negative set of beliefs is a way to be for people. It moors them. It makes them feel. To reduce their ideas to mere imagination is an assault on their defensive state of being.

I will miss this man... He has changed my life. I wish I could study at Beck Institute . If I had money I would study.Bye from Brazil !
We all have forms of distorted thinking. Sometimes we are so damn blind to it. I love Beck.
Beck is the personification of CBT.I like how in this video he combines both CBT and Psycho analysis.

Great video.
The trivial example of kohi describes the use of relativizations to induce a different mental process of pattern recognition in a person.
It's interesting indeed but hard to translate it to working with people with mental, physical health issues and systemic issues.
헐~ 인지치료 아무생각없이 치고 들어왔는데... 유튜브 계정으로 강의 하시다니 대단하심
Excellent!
if i change the way i think, would that affect my destiny ? or is my destiny pre determined ?
Maybe changing they the way you think was already wrote into your destiny. Maybe it's part of your destiny
Thanks for sir your so very great sir I am very thankful.
Excellent❤

THE CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT OF POSITIVE AFFECT
AFFECT AND MOTIVATION
Opioid and dopamine systems represent bundles of neurons or ‘nuclei’ in the mid brain that are respectively responsible for the affective states of pleasure and attentive arousal, and sub-serve the neural processes that govern motivation.

Eating and drinking, having sex, and relaxing or resting all activate opioid systems, whereas the anticipation or experience of positive act-outcome discrepancy (or positive surprises or meaning) activate dopamine systems.

Taking our pleasures increases our attentive arousal, and increasing our attentive arousal accentuates our pleasure. If these systems are concurrently activated both are accentuated or affectively ‘bootstrapped’, as both pleasure and attentive arousal will be higher due to their synergistic effects.

This is therapy like a band-aid is surgery.
@blad90 yeah right? i don't know why but people somehow like to make their problems more complicated than it should be.
@ That mostly is a problem of the therapist, not the therapy.
