The Benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Coaching

Rooted in evidence-based psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC) helps individual identify unhelp thoughts, shift limiting beliefs, and take intentional actions. CBC can be used to help you navigate career transitions, build confidence, manage stress, and even improve relationships.

The primary mechanism is examining automatic thoughts (spontaneous and reflexive self-talk) that create unhelpful thinking patters. CBC challenges negative thinking patters with logic and evidence to help you shift your perspective, using data points as a way to define future action.

CBC can also grounded in resilience. Because of the active component of CBC - it is practiced in the moment - it can help you stay present in the moment, bounce back from emotional dips, and respond intentionally and thoughtfully (versus following a gut reaction). It fosters intentionality and flexibility to overcome impulsivity and avoidance.

When your mind is cluttered with fear, doubt, or perfectionism, the logical methodology of CBC can help you analyze these thoughts more calmly to assist with decision-paralysis, cognitive distortions, and ruminations. This allows the CBC practitioner to break self-sabotaging habits, replace them with achievable goals, and achieve greater clarity and focus. The clarity provided usually results in smarter, calmer, and more confident choices.

Of course, one of the most transformative outcomes of CBC is emotional, not just logical. CBC helps you develop a kinder inner voice, strengthening self-compassion. If you are interested in an empirical approach in changing your mindset, transformational life coaching is a great place to start.
