Trauma-Informed Strategies
In this assignment, the discussion of theoretical background and practical application of a
cognitive behavioural therapeutic strategy has been discussed. The cognitive behavioural
therapeutic strategy is a short term psychological therapy that is aimed at changing thinking
patterns or behaviour that are brought by individual's hardships. Cognitive behavioural therapy
works by altering individual’s viewpoints as well as their conduct by focusing on attitudes,
thinking and faith that they hold and an individual behaves in a way to deal with psychological
issues. This therapy can take up to ten months for most emotional problems. It is a therapy that
combines psychotherapy and behavioural therapy.
Behavioral therapy aims at the relationship between a person’s hardships as well as
thoughts. In contrast, psychotherapy focuses on the personal meaning we place on things and
how thinking patterns begin during the individual's childhood (Clark et al. 2014). Cognitive-
behavioural therapy came up with a psychiatrist named Aaron Beck in 1964 (Dobson et al.
2010). This was after seeing his patient using an internal dialogue during his analytical sessions.
This was when Aaron noted that feelings and thoughts are connected. He went ahead to invent
the term automatic thoughts that explained emotional ideas that show up in mind. Beck
suggested that some thinking patterns are build up in the childhood of an individual and become
automatically fixed.
Practical application of cognitive behavioral therapeutic is a practice that is used in most
of therapy sessions. Scientist say that practical sessions last longer in brain than theoretical
applications. When someone engages in an action, that process of action engagement tend to
stick in their brain more (Hollon and Beck 2013). This is the most suitable type of therapy
