Knowing … our anxiety through CBT and Art Therapy

On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent and Dave continue their journey, across multiple episodes, into exploring the topic of anxiety.

For this show, the boys look at two therapeutic modalities that can help us better work with and manage our anxiety – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Art Therapy. The boys discuss:

How CBT can help us understand the relationship between our thoughts, emotions and behaviours,
The role of CBT in helping us challenge and change our negative automatic thoughts,
Our core beliefs and how CBT helps us work with them better,
The importance of not avoiding behaviours that inform our anxiety,
The role Exposure Therapy can play in helping us manager our anxiety,
What Art Therapy is and how it helps us understand emotions like anxiety,
The difference between our mind brain, heart brain and gut brain, as well as
How creatively expressing emotions can provide a different perspective to understanding emotions like anxiety.
