Setting Your Goals &amp; Getting Started.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Develop and write out a solid treatment plan. To initiate the process, ask yourself the following questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What brought you into therapy or how did I get to this situation; why now, what made you decide it\u2019s time to take action?<\/li><li>We are more than our struggles; we also have strengths that have kept us going and get us through new challenges \u2013 what are your strengths?<\/li><li>Are your basic human needs being met in terms of autonomy, relatedness, and competence? This includes physical activity, food, sleep, and relaxation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Review your responses.

For example, going to the park with your family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do activities that are rewarding to you, it should give you something that you value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anxiety and depression often cause people to be less active. How does one get out of this state, should you wait until you\u2019re \u201cbetter\u201d before you participate in an activity, or should you participate in the activity with the hope that it could add value to your life and make you feel good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Week 3. Identifying Your Thought Patterns.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBT addresses both thought and behavior patterns. Changing our behavior can change our thinking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good place to start with identifying thought patterns is to ask yourself, \u201cWhat went wrong with the activity? What could have gone better with the activity?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every thought stems from an event and causes an emotion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Week 4. Breaking Negative Thought Patterns.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking errors have been described in various ways<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Irrational \u2013 Doesn\u2019t make sense<\/li><li>Dysfunctional \u2013 Doesn\u2019t serve us well<\/li><li>Biased \u2013 One Sided<\/li><li>Distorted \u2013 Doesn\u2019t accurately reflect reality<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to identify evidence that supports your thought(s) and evidence that contradicts your thought(s).
