How CBT Works - The Calida Framework

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at Calida Rehab follows a structured, step-by-step framework that empowers clients to recognize their thought traps, challenge them, and replace them with healthier alternatives ultimately changing behavior and emotional responses.

1. Psychological Assessment & Thought Pattern Mapping

Initial sessions focus on identifying recurring thought patterns
Clients are guided to notice automatic thoughts, emotional triggers, and behavior loops.
We use tools like thought logs, mood diaries, and behavior chain analysis

2. Cognitive Restructuring (Thought Challenging)

Clients learn to question unhelpful thoughts (e.g., catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, black-and-white thinking)
Use of Socratic questioning to promote insight and reframe beliefs
Building healthier self-dialogue to boost emotional balance and resilience

3. Behavioral Activation & Skill-Building

Reintroducing meaningful activities to combat avoidance and apathy
Exposure therapy for fears, phobias, or compulsions
Assertiveness training and conflict resolution techniques
Goal-setting and self-monitoring of progress

4. Coping Skills for Everyday Challenges

Managing worry, intrusive thoughts, and perfectionism
Learning tools for sleep, time management, and routine stabilization
Preparing clients to handle relapse triggers, setbacks, and emotional stress in real-world settings

5. Maintenance & Self-Reliance

CBT teaches clients how to become their own therapist
Use of worksheets, mental models, and relapse prevention plans
Integration with journaling, mindfulness, or ACT for long-term gains
