PTSD Part 3: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Seth Gillihan

This is the third and final part of the PTSD series looking at
the empirically proven talking therapies. In this episode we
examine CBT with Seth Gillihan. Seth J. Gillihan is a clinical
psychologist, best-selling author, podcast host, and creator of
the Think Act Be Online School. He specialises in
mindfulness-centered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In this
episode, we define what CBT is, and examine anxiety both from its
origins and common patterns. We also look at some of the
fundamental components of CBT to offset anxiety and restoration
of equilibrium. We speak about the power of being present and
living a content life with uncertainty. We look at some of the
cognitive distortions and thinking errors that can occur in our
day-to-day lives and how we can address these. We finish by
looking at some anecdotal experiences and cases from Seth’s
perspective and what he's learnt as a consequence.


We take the examples from Seth's new book: The CBT Deck for
anxiety, rumination and & worry - where he gives 108
strategies to tackle the practical issues of worry. I hope you
enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed speaking with Seth as he
is both insightful and engaging as a guest and author.
