Summary:

Katherine Helm, PhD, leads a discussion about cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with Keith S. Dobson, PhD. They discuss application of CBT to depression symptoms and introduce a session between Dr. Dobson and an adult, female client struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. The client introduces her history of trauma experiences and sets the goal of wanting to "feel her feelings and let them pass." In response, Dr. Dobson provides psychoeducation about how CBT conceptualizes the relationship between thoughts and feelings. They then apply this conceptualization by exploring the client's tendency to overthink in her relationships and connecting this tendency to her past experiences. Next, Dr. Dobson inquires about the client's coping strategies. The client highlights her tendency to cope with avoidance and distraction techniques. Dr. Dobson suggests additional techniques, including journaling and mindfulness. Finally, Dr. Helm and Dr. Dobson review and discuss session clips. Dr. Dobson highlights the importance of session structure, problem-oriented psychoeducation, and facilitating change in beliefs and actions in cognitive behavioral therapy
