Ep. 21 | Anxiety and the CBT Approach
Description
Today we are discussing anxiety and the cognitive behavioural therapy approach to working with it. We explore what anxiety is and how it can present in the therapy room, as well as the purpose and nature of the CBT approach. We discuss the empowering role of psychoeducation and explore some misconceptions of CBT, concluding that it must be integrated into a therapist’s way of working to be fully effective.
My guest, John Wills, is a psychologist and CBT practitioner, specialising in anxiety disorders. He has a keen interest in the role of personality factors in clinical presentations and carries out assessments with people exiting therapy to identify areas of growth and future direction. John is a faculty lecturer and year head with PCI College and works with schools in the areas of cyber bullying and wellbeing.
