PTSD Part 3: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Seth Gillihan

This is the third and final part of the PTSD series looking at the empirically proven talking therapies. In this episode we examine CBT with Seth Gillihan. Seth J. Gillihan is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author, podcast host, and creator of the Think Act Be Online School. He specialises in mindfulness-centered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In this episode, we define what CBT is, and examine anxiety both from its origins and common patterns. We also look at some of the fundamental components of CBT to offset anxiety and restoration of equilibrium. We speak about the power of being present and living a content life with uncertainty. We look at some of the cognitive distortions and thinking errors that can occur in our day-to-day lives and how we can address these. We finish by looking at some anecdotal experiences and cases from Seth’s perspective and what he's learnt as a consequence. We take the examples from Seth's new book: The CBT Deck for anxiety, rumination and & worry - where he gives 108 strategies to tackle the practical issues of worry. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed speaking with Seth as he is both insightful and engaging as a guest and author.
