Was it effective? Any suggestions about implementation?

I am talking about practical suggestions about proper implementation for oneself, by oneself, not from a therapits to a patient or anything in that context. I am asking about C.B.T and a good way to practise it day to day for oneself.

The consensus here in the UK, is it has around 50% success rate, the National Health Service are very, very slowly moving to it as a model for treating all but severe mental health issues here.
From my personal opinion it depends on the nature of the problem, for some talking things through is a necessary part of recovery, for others re-orientating thinking is enough.
I tried a couple of sessions and to be honest it just pissed me off, I found my own personal answers and solutions with a thing called the Hoffman Process, google it to find out more.

You are asking how do you do it? like with a patient? You should definitely NOT be doing this with patients without proper education. But if you are a therapist, it is probably the single most useful type of therapy to know and use. It is shown by research to be the most effective method of psychotherapy.
If you are thinking of going to a therapist who is going to use CBT, then I highly recommend it. It has helped me greatly when I have been in therapy. I've also seen it work well on patients as a clinician.

I'm sure a lot of people have tried. People still talk about it, so somebody must think it's effective. Implementing therapy? You have to accept change, and being honest is the only way for your therapist to present you with the most convincing solution.

I was a psychology (and sociology) major in college, and I can tell you that it is the best and most effective form of treatment there is today. All the other forms of treatment are either incomplete (only cognitive, only behavavioral) or they are based on guess work and act sometimes the same way as a placebo (psychoanalysis, humanism, jungian analysis, gestalt, etc.)

I know that water play is good for autism. I think because it is something that they can actually feel and focus on. But I have never actually tried it.
