This is an educational enrichment exploring the underpinning principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Lessons address the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It educates students about effective tools and strategies to support overall well-being.
“I joined CBT from a career perspective to help boost my personal statement and help me later, not only has it done that but it has helped me massively on a personal level to deal with some of my own worries and stresses.” (Student)
Topics include: The CBT cycle; unhelpful thinking styles; unhelpful behaviours; emotions; self-esteem; physical sensations and attention focus; lifestyle; relaxation strategies, including colouring therapy.
