Some common techniques used in counselling are cognitive-behavioural therapy, problem-solving, and interpersonal psychotherapy. Counselling therapists also often use techniques such as relaxation and stress management to help their clients cope with the challenges in their lives.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is primarily used to treat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can arise from experiences such as physical or sexual assault, combat, or accidents. CPT helps individuals challenge and modify negative beliefs related to their trauma, enabling them to reduce the emotional impact and symptoms of PTSD. The therapy typically consists of 12 sessions and can be conducted individually or in groups. It focuses on understanding the trauma, identifying unhelpful thoughts or “stuck points,” and learning skills to challenge these thoughts. CPT may also be helpful for depression or anxiety connected to traumatic experiences.
The main difference between inattentive and hyperactive ADHD is that inattentive ADHD is characterized by problems with focus and attention, while hyperactive ADHD is characterized by excessive physical activity and fidgeting. Both types of ADHD can interfere with your ability to function in everyday life, but the specific symptoms will differ depending on which type you have.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that causes extreme mood swings. These mood swings can result in periods of mania, during which a person may feel overly happy and energetic, and periods of depression, during which a person may feel very sad and hopeless. Bipolar disorder can also lead to changes in thinking and behavior, as well as problems with relationships and work. The cause of bipolar disorder is not known, but it is thought to be related to changes in the brain. Bipolar disorder appears to be genetic, meaning that it runs in families. Bipolar disorder can also be triggered by stressful life events.
Anger is a secondary emotion that is usually masking another feeling such as sadness, fear, or hurt. anger is often used as a way to protect ourselves from these other feelings. When we are able to identify and express the emotions that anger is masking, we can begin to understand and manage our anger more effectively.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET) is effective for treating PTSD. It involves repeatedly recounting the trauma and its associated thoughts and emotions in a safe setting, which helps to lessen the hold that the memory has on an individual.
ADHD masking is a term used to describe the tendency of people with ADHD to compensate for their symptoms by consciously or unconsciously changing their behavior. For example, someone with ADHD might try to appear more organized than they actually are, or they may avoid activities that require them to focus for long periods of time. Masking can be helpful in some situations, but it can also be detrimental if it leads to people not getting the help and support they need. If you are struggling with ADHD, it is important to seek professional help so that you can receive the treatment and support that you need.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions but is most commonly used to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). BPD is a mental illness that is characterized by unstable emotions, impulsive behaviors, and difficulty in relationships. DBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for BPD, reducing the symptoms of the disorder and improving quality of life. DBT can also be used to treat other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a form of therapy that aims to help people understand and manage their emotions, particularly their feelings of compassion and empathy. CFT focuses on the idea that having strong compassion and empathy for oneself and others can be beneficial, both mentally and emotionally. CFT seeks to help people learn how to access and express their compassion in a healthy way.
