We see the world through the filter of our beliefs. These beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world influence our interpretations of the experiences we have. They exert power over our emotions and behaviors. Sometimes our beliefs cause dysfunction in our lives, causing depression, anxiety, or low self-worth. They can dampen motivation, inhibit our behavior, and disrupt our relationships. Inaccurate, dysfunctional beliefs can trap us in a self-fulfilling prophecy, as when, for instance, a belief that we are incompetent causes us to avoid new opportunities, resulting in outcomes that make us feel even more incompetent.
But beliefs can be modified, decreasing emotional distress, and freeing us to make better choices. Cognitive therapy is a process aimed at helping you recognize and challenge and change your beliefs.
I trained at the Center for Cognitive Therapy at University of Pennsylvania with Dr. Aaron Beck, the father of cognitive therapy. I've worked with many clients helping them to use cognitive therapy principles to address their symptoms; I would be happy to discuss with you how it might help you with your concerns.
