Cognitive behavioural therapy and changing thought patterns
Speaker · Sandro Krašić, psychologist, kako si?
Moderator · Nika Jukić
Public CROLMA webinar · 26 April 2023 · 1 hr 24 min · spoken in Croatian
What goes through our minds when we think a dog might jump on us? Psychologist Sandro Krašić uses this example to show how cognitive behavioural therapy distinguishes between what happened and what we expect to happen. He explains how to notice an automatic thought in conversation, examine the evidence for it and explore how it relates to feelings and behaviour.
About the recording
