Understanding Behavioral Therapy
What Is Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment method used to help individuals suffering from addiction and other repetitive harmful actions like those involved with eating disorders. Therapists help these people identify negative “automatic thoughts” and replace the associated destructive impulses with positive ones.
How Does Behavioral Therapy Work?
Recognize Triggers
Behavioral Therapy begins with the therapist helping individuals recognize the triggers leading to destructive behaviors. Once the therapist and individual can identify and analyze what causes their behaviors, they can figure out how to counteract these triggers.
Avoid Triggers
Now that the triggers have been identified, individuals can avoid them when possible. While the ultimate goal of CBT is to minimize the effects of triggers, trigger avoidance is a key step in the healing process.
Cope Positively
The ultimate goal of Behavioral Therapy is to help individuals alleviate the pain caused by their triggers. By addressing their triggers, they can rationally think through and cope with their thoughts and emotions. This allows them to use positive behaviors, rather than destructive ones, to cope with their triggers.
Behavioral Therapy Techniques
Thought Records
Individuals in treatment examine their automatic negative thoughts and seek objective evidence supporting and disproving them. They list evidence for and against their automatic thoughts to compare and contrast. The goal of critically evaluating their automatic thoughts is to help them think more rationally and react more positively.
Behavioral Experiments
These exercises contrast negative thoughts against positive ones to see which is more effective in changing behavior. Not everyone is the same; some people respond better to self-kindness and others to self-criticism. Behavioral experiments are all about figuring out what works best for the individual.
Imagery-Based Exposure
In imagery-based exposure, those in recovery think of a memory that produces powerful negative feelings. They take note of every sight, sound, emotion, thought, and impulse in that moment. By frequently revisiting painful memories, the affected individual can reduce the anxiety they cause over time.
Pleasant Activity Schedule
This technique involves making a weekly list of healthy, fun activities to break up daily routines. These tasks should be simple and easy to perform while encouraging positive emotions. Scheduling these pleasant activities helps reduce negative automatic thoughts and the subsequent need to use drugs or drink.
