Cognitive Analytic Therapy.
For many people, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is the solution they need. It helps to evaluate how we think, feel and act on a day-to-day basis. By evaluating and better understanding our reactions to experiences and events, we can improve on the parts of our lives, often stemming from childhood, that we feel hold us back.
Across a short-term program, you will undergo an active process that helps to work towards a sense of self-healing. Through self-analysis using diaries, progression charts and other key factors, you’ll work with a therapist to help work towards a more positive frame of mind in general. With emphasis put on your relationships, your attitude and your reactions, you’ll find this helps to create a sense of positive self-development over time. Looking for London Therapy ?
Cognitive analytic therapy benefits.
A major part of what makes Cognitive Analytic Therapy so successful is the cognitive therapy side of things. Built around making sure you can better understand your thoughts, feelings and actions, you’ll learn to see that negative thoughts will often lead to negative actions.
It’s part of a vicious cycle; when you feel depressed, you can feel worthless and like you have no potential to tap into. This makes it harder to find motivation to actually force positive change and turn things around. Instead, Cognitive Analytic Therapy looks to tap into the virtuous cycle, where we impress upon your need to drive positive actions with positive thinking.
Another key aspect of taking in this particular form of therapy, though, is the analytical practice. Analysis is key to helping us unlock our subconscious thinking that leads us to the problems that you suffer from.
The idea is simple: you cannot move on from the vicious cycle if you are never aware of the problem in the first place. With analytical therapy, you’ll dig into the experiences in life that shape who you are, and work on them to help you get over emotional blockades that stop you from reaching your peak sense of self.
If you are unable to understand why you make certain decisions, then overcoming them becomes nigh-impossible. With Cognitive Analytic Therapy, you can develop the answers needed to help overcome this and avoid falling into those same emotional blockades that stop you from making the right choices in life.

What does cognitive analytic therapy involve?
While it’s different for everyone, typically you will find that Cognitive Analytic Therapy will involve a fair few different parts of the process. Most of the time, it’s a short-term form of therapy that is limited in time. This means that results can be quickly achieved, though it could take as many as 20-24 sessions depending on the severity of the issues involved.
Most sessions last for around an hour, and will be held on a weekly basis, though more severe cases may require two sessions per week to make rapid progress.
Once the Cognitive Analytic Therapy program is over, you often will set up follow-up chats with your therapist. These are vital for making sure that your progress is not only temporary, and will help you to stay closer to the achieving success. Typically, your therapy will involve trying to achieve key goals such as:
Cognitive Analytic Therapy goals.
- Making sure that you can take a fresher, more open-minded perspective into your day-to-day thinking. This is the key aspect of Cognitive Analytic Therapy.
- You will also be looking to try and find out what your main issues in life are, and how you can overcome them. This makes it easier for you to work out the genesis of your issues.
- Looking closer into the well-being of your mind, and the strength of the relationships that you hold in life at present. This includes, among others, your own self-relationship.
- Identifying and making the most of the problems that hold you back, so that a plan of action can be formed to overcome these issues.
- Discover the real cause of the problems that hold you back, making it easier for you to overcome these inner conflicts.
- Locate the best ways possible to cope with the painful moments in life that has forced yourself into this situation, helping you to remove emotional barriers.
- Working to discover the best way to cope with the problems that are now unearthed, instead finding healthier ways to deal with the issues instead of merely blocking them out.
The essence of cognitice analytic therapy.
While other forms of therapy might seem easier to understand and to grasp, Cognitive Analytic Therapy isn’t as complex as it may sound. It’s the foundation of forming a good relationship between patient and therapist, making sure that there is a comfortable environment that allows for self-exploration.
If there is a lack of trust in the room, it’s hard to progress. like any other form of therapy, Cognitive Analytic Therapy is only successful when you feel safe talking with your therapist. Initial sessions, then, will be built upon forming that trust, helping you to open up about past and present difficulties in life.
It’s important that you look at the good and bad in life; what has gone right, and what has gone wrong. Sometimes, questions will be asked to help form a better understanding of your short-term and long-term needs.
As ever, you’ll be full briefed on the process from start to finish when you initiate a Cognitive Analytic Therapy treatment plan. Done right, this can help you to find the confidence you need to make the most of your treatment overall.
