& gt& gt Cognitive therapy will not preach the truth to visitors, nor will it teach them correct thoughts. Cognitive therapy is to let visitors learn the correct cognitive way. Many cognitive techniques in cognitive therapy are aimed at teaching visitors the correct cognitive style. Once the visitor has mastered these technologies, his cognitive concept will change; When the concept changes, the mood and behavior will improve accordingly.

Technical interpretation of possible areas

-Face the bad possibility calmly and strive for the best result.

1. The essence of anxiety and depression

Those who experience anxiety and depression usually feel negative or pessimistic about the future of things. A student who is anxious about the exam is often worried about the negative results of the exam. A college student who is looking for a job is worried about the negative result (failure) of the interview, and a person who is anxious about the upcoming speech is also worried about the bad result of the speech.

Anxiety is worrying about negative results, while depression is expecting negative results. For example, a woman who is depressed because of divorce will feel that she was so loving in the past, will divorce, and can't find a suitable partner in the future. If she pays so much, she can't get the truth, and there is no hope for her future marriage. This thought plunged her into depression for a long time. The same is true of other situations such as bereavement and depression caused by resignation. Cognitive therapy is the best way to deal with anxiety and depression. What technology does cognitive therapy use to solve it? Cognitive therapy will use many technologies, one of which is the possibility field technology.

2. What are the possible regional technologies?

Possibility zone technology is to make the parties realize that there is not only one possibility (especially the worst possibility) for things that have not happened or are about to happen, and this possibility can be described as a possibility zone from the worst to the best. The two sides assess the regional scope of this possibility and determine the most likely outcome. This process can correct the negative expectations of the parties for the future and improve their anxiety and depression.

3. Possibility regional technology application examples

Let's talk about an example of exam anxiety: a student has been worried about the final exam, and anxiety and depression have appeared alternately for nearly two weeks. I asked him the first question: What was the worst score in this exam? He said the class ranked 20th. (In fact, what worries him most is that he is out of the 20th place. I asked him the second question: What do you think is the best ranking if the exam is particularly smooth and everything is ideal? He said that if there was a miracle, he would be the fifth in the class. I asked him the third question: considering all aspects, especially your previous exams and your preparation, what do you think is the most likely exam result? You can also refer to other people's review. He thought for a long time, and finally said, maybe it is between 10 and 15. I asked him, after thinking and comparing, how do you feel that your most likely ranking is 10- 15 instead of 20? He said I was in a better mood.

Let's talk about another case of bereavement and depression: a couple who are nearly 50 years old, their only son died unexpectedly when he went out to play with his classmates in his first year of college. The husband and wife fell into grief, and after nearly two months of grief, they turned into depression. To their dismay, they thought of "No Country for Old Men". I also use the possibility area technology to help them correct their cognition. The first question I asked them: Can you imagine the worst result of getting old? They said without thinking: lonely, no one to greet, no one to take care of, life can not take care of themselves. I said, if a miracle happens, or it is God's will, what do you think is the best result for the elderly? They said it was unimaginable. I said, think more, such as government care, community, relatives, or friends' help and so on. My wife said, all I can think of is that we have an adopted son around to take care of us. I said yes, let's assume this. Next, let's consider the third question. What do you think is the most likely situation when considering all kinds of realistic situations and the living conditions of other elderly people who live without children, or collecting government policies? They said, I can't think of it. I said, it doesn't matter. This question is just your homework. After you go back, collect this information and tell me what you think when you come to consult next week.

Next week is coming, and their mood is obviously much more relaxed. They said that it is very likely that several college students will go to nursing homes for the elderly or adopt a child. They also said that there are many families who have lost their independence like them, and the government will not ignore them. How do we feel now? They said they were in a good mood and saw hope.

4. Possible regional technical points

Possibility area technology consists of three questions: (1) What is the worst thing that can happen? (2) What is the best possibility of things? (3) What is the most likely thing? First of all, the worst possibility and the best possibility constitute the possibility area. Secondly, collect all kinds of information to make decisions and determine the most realistic (most likely) possibility. When help seekers find that the problem is not as bad as they think, especially after considering the more realistic situation, their cognition will change and their mood will get better.

After discussing the possibility area, we can also discuss the attitude and behavior strategy of facing the possibility area-"Face it calmly and strive for better". Generally speaking, we need to guide visitors to face the worst possibility calmly, and sometimes we need to take corresponding measures for the worst possibility. Secondly, since things haven't happened yet, tourists can take various measures to strive for better possibilities and results. Due to the limitation of the length of the article, we didn't cover this part in the above two cases. This part can be added to the actual consultation.
