PART I:

In Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), a common homework activity for clients is keeping a log of dysfunctional thoughts and feelings. It is helpful for therapists to practice this themselves, not only for the personal benefit of challenging their own negative thoughts, but to understand what they are asking of their clients. Identify one of your own dysfunctional thoughts and keep a record of your experience with it for minimum of 3 days. Use the CBT Thought record found on course site. Print it and fill it out. Then scan the completed log to a computer. Copy-paste it into the final document that you turn in.
Instructions for filling out the log: Start with the third column of “Negative Automatic Thought.” Then fill in the two left columns: where were you when you had this thought? What emotions/feelings did you have during this thought? Then move right: What evidence do you have that supports the thought? What evidence do you have that refutes the thought? What is a possibly healthier alternative thought you can think instead? How does this new thought make you feel?
Once you have finished this log, answer the following questions in 1-2 pages:
What was this experience like for you? Did you find it easy or difficult to keep a log of your thought/feelings? Did you notice any changes in your thought/feelings?
What are some strengths of using this activity in therapy? What are some setbacks to using this activity in therapy? What are some traits of a client that would pose a challenge to making this activity useful?

PART II:

Follow along with the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) video on youtube found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYsuvRNZfxE . Find a quiet time and place with minimal distractions to practice this activity.
Answer the following questions in 1-2 pages:
What was this experience like for you? Did you find it easy or difficult to relax and follow along? What was it like to try to “turn off” transient thoughts? What kind of sensations did you have in your body?

PART III:

As Corey explains in the text, parts of traditional behavior therapy are now used in contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy. In an additional page, Describe the methods of therapy Corey uses in the Behavior and Cognitive Behavior sessions with Stan. How are they similar? How are they different? What reactions did you have as you watched both sessions?

This assignment should be 3 full pages minimum-4 full pages maximum in length total (excluding cover page, CBT Thought Record, and reference page), size 12 Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Combine all parts into one document with one cover page and reference page.

The first measure that needs to be taken to promote behavior change is access to quality care. When I refer to access to care, I am referring to a patients’ ability to access any level of healthcare without suffering from a financial hardship. Additionally, a patient should receive the same quality of care at any level; regardless of their sex, race, culture and regardless if they are insured, under or un-insured. This all ties back to the need for healthcare standardization across the globe.

By no means am I trying to compare myself to many across our own country and globe who do not have access to quality healthcare. With that said, I grew up in a household where both parents were self-employed with the bare minimum insurance coverage. After receiving my childhood/adolescent immunizations I did not see a primary care physician until a few years ago when my employer required yearly physicals to receive premiums on health insurance. I bet many others grew up in a similar situation, leading us to believe that doctors were for “emergencies only”. Luckily, I am healthy, now get annual checkups and take all preventative recommendations. However, I can’t help but think how many people avoid primary care visits that end up with illnesses/diseases that could have been avoided by simply going for check-ups. This is just a basic example of how previous or current accessibility to healthcare can impact behavior.

Two other very influential measures that impact behavior change for better health, and relate to my first point, are education and culture. The YouTube video from this week’s resources, “Cultural Differences”, discusses how culture and education play a role in people’s understanding of healthcare and physicians’ ability to communicate and understand their patients perspectives. One’s education and cultural background can not only impact their opinion and skepticism surrounding healthcare but can impact healthy habits such as diet, exercise, and hygiene.

I found the first video below, “Culture & Healthcare” very relevant and impactful on the key measures of education and culture. It refers to how we cannot just “treat others how you’d like to be treated” but treat others as they’d like to be treated. I found that message very powerful because it ties into our lack of cultural knowledge and respect. In this example, the physician diagnosed the patient with cancer, shared the news and the family was completely distraught because in their culture, that diagnosis would change the patients will to live. I think that as a society we need to make a greater effort to not only embrace and respect others’ cultural backgrounds but put an emphasis on education so that situations can be handled differently to promote more positive and healthy behaviors.
