Summary:

In this first session of six, Dr. Amy Wenzel demonstrates cognitive behavior therapy with a female client presenting with a gambling addiction, family relationship issues, and work-related stress. The client has previous experience in therapy and feels that her gambling addiction is no longer under control. After a brief intake, Dr. Wenzel introduces CBT and outlines three patterns of thinking that often characterize addictive behavior. She introduces the client to behavioral self-monitoring by asking her to complete an Activity Chart for homework before the next session. The client also discusses issues related to relationships with her two sisters and her daughter, as well as work-related stress. Dr. Wenzel identifies patterns of automatic thinking and maladaptive behavior that seem to exist across these domains. Together, Dr. Wenzel and the client set specific treatment goals for each of the presenting concerns (id est, gambling addiction, family relations, and work stress), and discuss how the client's previous experience with CBT can inform their work moving forward
