The patient (Pt) and therapist work together to break down the problems into separate
parts -
1) Thoughts
2) Physical feelings
3) Actions.
The Pt and therapist analyse these areas to work out if they're unrealistic or unhelpful
and to determine the effect they have.
The therapist will then be able to advise how to change unhelpful thoughts and
behaviours.

changes in their daily life and then discuss their success next time.
The eventual aim is to teach the Pt to apply the skills learnt during treatment to their
daily life.

lives.
