The cognitive model
Episode 2 of the series on CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy): how an event, a thought, an emotion, the body and behaviour are linked, what lies beneath a quick thought, and what the evidence says about why therapy works. Why it matters to you: you'll learn to tell a thought from a feeling, see why the same event sets off different reactions in different people, and find out what in the model is proven and what isn't. The label on each card shows how solid the claim is; this is education, not therapy or diagnosis.
