Update: I’ve had 2 therapy sessions. I really appreciate how my therapist set an agenda, and they asked for my reactions and key takeaways (from the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale, lol). It’s interesting to be a therapist and know what the other therapist is doing.

I’ll be sharing more about my experience as I feel comfortable, and I’d love to see more #TherapistsInTherapy in 2021.

For the curious, here's a link to the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale, which is used for therapists to check-in about how effective sessions are: beckinstitute.org/wp-content/upl…

I'd love to see an update to this scale with new questions about cultural humility, or how cultural and systemic factors impact mental health. Just saying!!

🧚‍♂️Something that I love about my work as a psychologist is how learning about emotions and the human brain has helped me in my personal life. In grad school, I learned how to effectively LABEL emotions – and it was life changing. Today, I want to share those insights with you.

We have emotions for 3 main reasons.

Emotions:
1⃣communicate to us
2⃣communicate to others
3⃣organize action

It sounds kind of weird, but, yes, our emotions are how we communicate to ourselves! Our emotions also communicate to others through facial expressions and body language. (Let’s put a pin in “organize action” to first discuss specific emotions.)

🧚 Fun Fact: Before I went to therapy, I didn’t know that there are different types of therapy.

Today, I want to share 5 different approaches to therapy. These aren’t exhaustive definitions, but I hope these help people start their own research on different options for care.

🧠 Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): You identify thoughts and behaviors that you want to change, and the therapist helps you create a plan (using coping skills and other tools) to change those thoughts and behaviors. CBT often emphasizes practical solutions for problems.

✅ Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about accepting our thoughts and feelings, without trying to change them. This type of therapy focuses on helping people do what matters to them in life. Put another way, ACT helps us get out of our head and into our life.
