Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Vancouver

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive therapy: Changing thinking patterns

In a cognitive therapy view, a person’s thoughts determine his or her emotions, and therefore, his or her personality. Cognitive therapy consider dysfunctional attitudes, depressive assumptions, or ‘maladaptive thoughts’ to be the cause of human problems. Some therapists call these irrational beliefs. A client’s cognition, or thinking patterns, are identified in counselling. The goal of the treatment is to change how individuals perceive themselves, others, and the world.

Behavioral therapy: Changing behaviors

Behavioral therapy uses a technique that acknowledges that there may be behaviors that cannot be controlled through rational thought. Behaviorists believe that personality and behaviors are learned. This includes the responses we have to situations, which are learned from the experiences we have in our life. Through behavioral therapy, the client can acknowledge and change the behaviors in order to deal with different situations in life.

How cognitive-behavioral therapy can help you

Based upon a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive principles and research, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including mood, anxiety and depression. Because cognitive-behavioral therapy is “problem focused” and “action oriented”, the counsellor works with the client using different techniques and homework assignments to give new experiences to learn from. This way, new behaviors are learned and the client is able to deal with situations on a different manner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a survivor of a myriad of childhood traumas, abusive relationships, and 32 years in the Army… I had a lot of PTSD and didn’t know what was wrong with me. My case was complex. I was smart as a child, a school chess champion,  but I couldn’t concentrate as an adult. A friend recommended Janel and even though I initially was a disbeliever, after a couple sessions I was noticeably better! Janel worked wonders for me! It has been a long journey but totally worth it. I give Janel my highest of recommendations and encourage anyone to start with Janel right away. Even if you can’t quite place what the problem is. She is that good.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see seeing Janel around 5 or 6 years ago. it was in a period of my life when I felt very stuck and unable to move forward. I had being doing a lot of personal work and knew and understood my issues very well but still felt trapped and stuck by my trauma. It was as if it was on the surface of my mind and body but I could not release. EMDR I feel helped me let go of a significant amount of the blockages in my life. After maybe 5 months of sessions I was able to make some big advancements in my life after that. I got engaged and have two kids now.
I recently went back for a session because I feel like I am facing some big life changes again and in one session I was able to access intuitions and have some epiphany's that were not available to me in my conscious mind. EMDR is different for sure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the years i have perused different  types of therapies to help navigate early childhood and adult trauma, all have had their positive impact but EMDR administered by Janel has definitely had the most noticeable results.
I can speak only from my prospective, but would encourage anyone who struggles with trauma to consider this therapy with Janel as a practitioner.
self regulation, impulse control and memory have all had significant improvement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Janel Ball. <3 There is a lot I can say.  I have been working with Janel on and off since 2008 in all aspects of my life and my well being.  Myself and my late husband both benefited from her sessions immensely.  In the earlier days we worked on relationships , past trauma, with EMDR counseling.  Janel went out of her schedule to help me after my traumatic 88 hour birth of my son. After my husband passed :( I found my way back to Janel who worked with me once a week for a few months to get my nervous system, body and mind back on track where I could function.  Janel's empathy, skills, EMDR knowledge, & desire to help you and your brain heal are most definitely skills I can recommend.
As you can see this journey of treatment is ongoing and will always be a part of my life.  I am grateful to have had Janel on this journey with me.
