Behavioural techniques and rating scales
The sixth episode of the CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) series is about how CBT changes how people feel through action: behavioural activation for depression, exposure and behavioural experiments for anxiety, and the questionnaires used to measure progress. Why it matters to you: you'll see why “just keep busy” and “wait for the fear to pass” are not how therapy works, and you'll be able to tell a free scale from a protected one. This is education, not therapy or diagnosis.
