CBT for Depression 1
with Dr Nina Josefowitz
Evidence for Your Client’s Negative Thinking
SESSION 2 OF 4
Duration 15mins 47secs
TAKE THE QUIZ:
In this session, Dr. Nina Josefowitz demonstrates how to use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to explore the evidence supporting a client’s negative self-beliefs. Continuing work with a client named Julia, who struggles with depression and academic challenges, Dr. Josefowitz helps her examine her negative thoughts. Using the “Examine the Reality of Your Thoughts” worksheet, the session emphasises the therapeutic value of first collecting evidence for a thought before evaluating evidence against it. Dr. Josefowitz models how to compassionately unpack the client’s current and historical evidence while containing emotional distress, making painful thoughts less overwhelming and more manageable. This structured approach deepens insight and prepares the ground for cognitive restructuring in future sessions.
