Whilst there are many texts that introduce trainees to the overarching theory, formulations, and interventions used in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), few describe the lived experience of being a CBT therapist and of making it through training. Becoming a CBT Therapist takes prospective trainees on a journey from applying for a place on a training course through to navigating the challenges of CBT training and developing in their career once qualified.
Featuring contributions from experienced CBT tutors, supervisors and practicing therapists, this book is the first to detail the practical, emotional, and psychological challenges of embarking upon and sustaining a career in this field. From adjustment to learning new skills, to the role transition from their existing role and identity, through to the practicalities of how to demonstrate competence during their training, the book covers an array of topics which are a must read for aspiring CBT therapists. The chapters offer practical advice for developing a range of key skills, such as how to succeed at interviews, maintain a work–study–life balance, and deal with imposter syndrome.
Packed full of vignettes and reflective exercises, this book is a must read for those looking to apply for CBT training, currently undertaking training, or involved in supporting trainees through the various challenges they will encounter.
