How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Can Help With Depression Counseling

Feb 16, 2017

Depression is a serious disease that impacts the lives of millions of people across the nation. Managing depression symptoms often requires extensive depression counseling and various treatment modalities. One of the most popular of these is cognitive behavioral therapy. How can this technique help you recover from your depression?

A Look At Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a goal-oriented counseling treatment that works to identify negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Counselors who practice this treatment method identify these patterns, help explore them with their patient, and implement beneficial replacement patterns. These positive patterns include relaxing thoughts and replacing addictive behaviors with constructive ones.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Can Help Manage Depression
Cognitive behavioral therapy has been adapted to depression counseling with a lot of success. In one study, titled "Prevention of relapse/recurrence in major depression by mindfulness-based cognitive therapy," it was found that cognitive behavioral therapy was "...a promising cost-efficient psychological approach to preventing relapse/recurrence in recovered recurrently depressed patients."

Integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Into Your Depression Counseling
Using this type of behavior with depression counseling requires identifying negative thoughts and behaviors that influence your depression. For example, if your depression is caused by negative self-perceptions fueled by cruel jokes, you and your counselor will identify these feelings and replace them with a positive self-perception.

So if you are depressed because you feel “fat” after being called that in your youth, a cognitive behavioral treatment replaces that negative self-perception with the idea that you are thin, beautiful, and happy. Mindfulness or regular adjustments of your thought patterns are crucial for this treatment.

If you are interested in learning more about cognitive behavioral therapy and depression counseling, contact us to talk to a caring specialist.
