Cognitive Behavioural Techniques?
What are cognitive behavioural techniques?
Cognitive behavioural techniques are based on the understanding that our stress or anxiety levels are affected by both our thoughts and behaviours.
Our thoughts, assumptions and beliefs (cognition) affect how we feel
(emotion) and what we do
(behaviour), and vice versa.
The benefit of this approach is that we can change the way we think to feel / act better even if the situation does not change.
There are a number of common patterns of thinking, or “thinking errors” that can affect our feelings, behaviour and body reactions. Training to identify and challenge these ways of thinking can help to improve your stress or anxiety levels, associated behaviours and body reactions, and improve your resilience.

As a nation we are far more likely to engage in discussion about health issues impacting on the mind and its health than in years gone by. With a wealth of information at our disposal on the internet, and high profile figures publicly supporting charities and causes to raise awareness, there has never been a better time to explore these issues. With ‘Dementia Action Week’ starting on 20 May, now seems like a good time to home in on the particular challenges of dementia. The aim of this important week is to raise the profile of dementia – whether in our workplaces or communities – and remove some of the ignorance surrounding the condition.
