Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a specific form of psychological therapy that has been reliably shown to be of benefit in many conditions and is widely recommended as a first-line treatment for anxiety.
Ever felt like anxiety is a relentless shadow over your journey to sobriety? Dr. Julian Keats is here to shed some light on how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help. In this episode, Dr. Keats, an addiction medicine specialist, breaks down the essentials of CBT and its powerful role in managing anxiety within the context of addiction recovery. He explains how CBT works by identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours, replacing them with more positive and productive ones.
Dr. Keats introduces the cognitive triangle model, illustrating the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and how this understanding can transform one's approach to anxiety. He also delves into techniques like exposure therapy, which involves gradually facing fears in a controlled setting to diminish their power. For those wondering how to get started, Dr. Keats provides guidance on accessing online CBT resources.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone grappling with anxiety and addiction, offering clear steps towards a calmer mind and a more stable recovery.
