2. Class Introductions
• Who you are
• What you do
• What are your goals for today’s training
• How would you rate your clinical skills on a scale
of 1-10
• Your most memorable experience in your work
• Something about yourself you don’t normally tell
people
• One word that best describes you right now
4. A Theory That Works
• If you change the way you think
• You can change the way you feel
• If you change the way you feel
• You will change the type of urges you have
• If your urges change
• Your actions will be change
• If your actions change
• Your consequences will change
5. Cognitive Therapy Principles
• Thoughts lead to feelings
• Feelings lead to urges
• Urges lead to action
• Action leads to consequences
7. Listening To Your Head
• Our head can be a dangerous place, we often have
patterns of self defeating thoughts that lead us to
bad feelings and subsequently bad decisions.
Remember, thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to
urges and urges lead to actions, and actions have
consequences both good and bad.
• If we can learn to identify when a thought is
distorted, we can correct it or redirect in in such a
way that the chances of bad feelings and actions are
minimized.

COGNITIVE DISTORTION RATIONAL RESPONSE
9. Cognitive Distortions
• Overgeneralization
• Labeling
• Disqualifying the
positive
• Jumping to conclusions
• Emotional reasoning
• Mental filter
• Minimizing and
maximizing
• All or nothing thinking
• Personalizing
• Should statements
10. • All-or-nothing thinking: You see things in black and
white categories. If your performance falls short of
perfect, you see yourself as a total failure.
• Overgeneralization: You see a single negative event
as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
• Mental filter: You pick out a single negative detail
and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all
reality becomes darkened, like the drop of ink that
discolors the entire beaker of water.
11. • Magnification (catastrophizing) or minimization: You
exaggerate the importance of things (such as your
goof-up or someone else's achievement), or you
inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny
(your own desirable qualities or the other fellow's
imperfections). This is also called the "binocular trick.”
• Emotional reasoning: You assume that your negative
emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are:
"I feel it, therefore it must be true.”
• Personalization: You see yourself as the cause of
some negative external event for which, in fact, you
were not primarily responsible.
12. • Should statements: You try to motivate yourself with
shoulds and shouldn’t, as if you had to be whipped
and punished before you could be expected to do
anything. "Musts" and "oughts" are also offenders.
The emotional consequence is guilt. When you direct
should statements toward others, you feel anger,
frustration, and resentment.
• Labeling and mislabeling: This is an extreme form of
overgeneralization. Instead of describing your error,
you attach a negative label to yourself: "I'm a loser."
When someone else's behavior rubs you the wrong
way, you attach a negative label to him, "He's a damn
louse." Mislabeling involves describing an event with
language that is highly colored and emotionally
loaded.
13. • Disqualifying the positive: You reject positive
experiences by insisting they "don't count" for some
reason or other. You maintain a negative belief that is
contradicted by your everyday experiences.
• Jumping to conclusions: You make a negative
interpretation even though there are no definite facts
that convincingly support your conclusion.
– Mind reading: You arbitrarily conclude that someone
is reacting negatively to you and don't bother to
check it out.
– The Fortune Teller Error: You anticipate that things
will turn out badly and feel convinced that your
prediction is an already-established fact.
14. Triple Column Technique
Automatic Self Talk Cognitive Distortion Rational Response
He is an ass and a control
freak. He never liked me and
always tries to humiliate me.
I’m never going to finish this
program. I’m an addict and
will always be one. I’m going
to fail this program just like
the last.
The rest of the group thinks
I’m weak now.
I talk to much and will never
say another word.
I should just leave now, its
not going to get better.

Fortune telling
He’s been cool with me
and is just doing his job.
This is the first time I ever
felt humiliated by him.
Maybe this is my stuff.
If I hang in there I know I
can finish. This program is
nothing like the last one,
and I’m not the same guy I
was then.
Actually many group
members said I handled it
well. I was trying to help
and will not give up. I know
I can make it better.
Offending incident: Counselor confronted me in group when I offered advice

19. Benefits of Group Therapy
• Group counseling is often more effective than the
individual approach because:
• Group members can practice new skills needed every
day.
• There is the benefit of feedback and insight of other
members.
• The group can model real life relationships.
• Members can learn how to cope with problems by
observing others.
• Practical advantages, such as costs and time economy.
• Ideally use a combination of group and individual
therapy.
21. Problem-Solving Process Group
• Process group is the group in which clients build their
communication and problem solving skills. There is no pre-
determined topic. Facilitators guide the group to help them:
• Understand their problem more clearly;
• Learn the steps of problem solving in a safe, supportive,
respectful environment;
• Identify and change: mistaken thinking, unmanageable
feelings, urges to do things that make life more painful, self-
defeating behaviors and relationships that make problems
worse;
• Be listened to, taken seriously, respected and affirmed;
• Tap into the group conscience, a powerful source of
knowledge, courage, strength and hope in personal problem
solving.
22. Focused Work Group
• These are topic-driven workgroups.
• Core assignments are addressed here such as:
Recovery Plans (treatment goals), First Step
presentations and Exit Plans.
• Individualized assignments may also be presented.
• Other topics are diverse and reflect the needs of the
current population as well as the specific talents of
the facilitator (e.g., communication skills, grief and
loss).
• These groups are highly interactive, stressing peer
feedback.
23. Psycho-Education Group
Educational groups or lectures are didactic and
participative. Core topics may include:
• The disease of addiction
• Medical aspects,
• Relapse dynamics,
• Introduction to the 12 steps
• Anger management, and
• Practical application of recovery principles.
