Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Techniques for Psychosis

[@omarthearab81]

This how CBT should be, a great example of collaboration between client and therapist.

One direction should totally open a supermarket, I cracked up at that bit.

Don't worry even she snorted and she's very carefully being composed as much as she can. Sometimes delusions and bits of psychosis can be a bit silly, but thats the thing. Its obvious on its face, but the delusion, is so captivating that it masks reality. That man truly believes everything he says and he is using all his faculties to try and understand why it is, that his delusion of thought projection can't just easily be tossed out as nonesense. He's interpreted slight changes in a persons direction away from him to be a bit of "impact" that his thoughts had on someone, not that they were very interested in having a private conversation and giving him a bit of a tell to sod off.

This is an excellent technique and I do love the aspect of going into a client's home so you can see their environment, they feel safe but only if you've had a lot of experience with this client and someone knows you're going. And that's for any client not just paranoid delusions. I did in-home therapy for over 20 years and I was in some pretty dangerous situations and don't know that I'll ever go back in a client's home. However, I love the approach and I would recommend meeting outside around the corner, at a cafe near a store...ECT. I know it's not proper to do counseling in the community however you could discuss the results in the office or some where private afterwards. Love the video, thank you!

[@luisalamedaluna4067]

wow, you think you can tell what type of dangerous situations? So I can reconsider it

[@MarketResearchReading114]

I'm a schizophrenic, and I had a delusion that the world isn't as it seems and that I had been chosen (so impactful was my psychotic break as an event that it seemed quite evidentiary) to become an immortal and that the earth not only being where we lived was some sort of afterlife all at the same time. Then it took quite a long time of medication and my own personal introspection and with me being an atheist (no knocking theism here just the facts of my situation) I felt a pretty rational examination of the belief was needed and it struck me that, had I actually been indoctrinated into some sort of afterlife that I wouldn't still be here, mucking about with an illness and such, I would be focused on the next phase of existence. It was quite annoying having to give up on experience I had during my psychotic break not mattering and just being...well a brain in meltdown. Well that was a very productive 3 months into my recovery, now my delusions only sort of peck at me like some quibbling bit of bothering moods. Its not gone away completely, but its impact on me effectively has gone away.

as someone whom suffers from this delusion, ive realised that your brain will show you what you want/ expect to see almost as like the evidence is always there but only pick up what you want at that given moment.. creative brains are excellent at believing their own perception because they didnt see anything else and they only want to confirm their beliefs/ fears.. its the worst mental illness as the proof that no one is reading your mind is impossible to really know and that your mind can be the most embarrassing and shameful places to be read to someone.

[@luisalamedaluna4067]

Yeah, because it's a very strong cognitive bias. That is why your mind automatically seeks out the information that validates your delusion and doesn't pay much atention or put enough weight on information that invalidates it. I am not schizophrenic, but I often fall into paranoid delussions, and it's pretty frustrating. (I'm bipolar)

So interesting... Nice collaboration !

When I heard my thoughts as if out loud in my 50’s I didn’t think ppl could really hear them. Direct telepathy can’t happen. Indirect yes. No high tech head sets or BCI needed. But that’s considered mistaken, deluded “disordered thinking”, “lacking insight”, possible psychosis, dementia etc. In the middle of Trump’s pandemic sabotage I’m trying to read “Against The Day” by Pynchon, the wildest writer alive, dead, neither or both. The cognitive dictatorship voices deplete incentive. “They” as Pynchon would say, are nasty but I will get through Against The Day anyway.

[@sr2291]

What is direct vs. indirect telepathy?

[@BubbaHotepMothership]

Indirect telepathy that I experienced? Advanced meditators contact the witness hive mind aspect (inside each person) of their followers. No words, just energy. I wasn’t much of a follower or meditator & I wasn’t the only one. Which could just be said to be suggestion etc.

[@eyemallears2647]

AWESOME. I can do this with someone I know!!!

[@zzzcocopepe]

This is exactly my psychosis

[@shahtajshakir5002]

So, what is being challenged here?

[@iwantmytrophy]

My patience.

[@eyemallears2647]

The point is that the patient is encouraged to logically investigate the reality of their delusions. This is very helpful to me.

[@glpilpi6209]

I don't think CBT is particularly effective . People who are very ill find rationalising their thoughts very difficult , practitioners make the mistake of assuming logical function is good in Psychosis patients when it is actually reeling around all over the place .Transactional analysis is better , but takes more time .

[@MarketResearchReading114]

You don't have to be very ill to still be delusional. I was pretty well off into my recovery the first month on a psychiatric medicine, but I still had a delusion, and my own natural rationalism and mindset helped me focus on dispelling a delusional notion.

[@luisalamedaluna4067]

@@MarketResearchReading114 I think it is because you were already on psychiatric treatment, otherwise rational thinking probably wouldn't have helped. But that's just my experience though.

[@josephwhite7960]

Turns out this shit is real

[@bdjones46]

I'm even more confused

[@Alprtngakrc]

I really wonder how you hope to help those doped people whose cognitive abilities severely impaired? In order to be able to help those people their hippocampi should be active. Hippocampus needs emotions in order to be able to tag the informations to learn. That's how we can learn and keep or record the informatons and knowledge in our brain and process them when we need. Yet, as their emotions are seriously blunted due to the drugs they receive their hippocampi have no avail. Most probably most of your efforts with them completely disappear within a couple of hours time altogether. Psychotherapy programmes with schizophrenics on drugs are doomed to fail.What you say here that you can help those suffering individuals has no scientific basis what so ever. That defies logic and neuroscience.

[@nafiznasser968]

Sometimes God communicates to people by showing miracles so that they can go to worship but instead they take it negatively and go crazy. God is pulling them by showing them miracle that I can read your mind and control other people's actions but they fail to interpret properly and go crazy. Once they communicate this to others people see them as psychos. The only treatment is prayers and staying away from intoxicants such alcohol, cigarettes, drugs etc which confuse the mind and fail a person to do good reasoning of that particular event or experience.

[@yashj8238]

Did god tell you this? If not then you need help

[@kumoryuuichi]

Yeah, you just keep on believing that mental illness is a moral failing. Blame the victims, why don't you? We'll just ignore all the people that drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes etc and don't fall into psychotic states. Maybe you'd like to take this a bit further? Would you say that sex for non-reproductive purposes also makes people crazy? What about being gay, is that also a good route to psychosis? Science is way ahead of you, and it knows that your conclusions are dead wrong. It doesn't have all the answers, but it also doesn't condemn people who are already suffering to additional evangelical suffering.
