Metacognitive therapy is about why the thought “I'm worthless” because of failure makes some people just a little sad, while others drive them crazy, and how to change that.
What it is
Metacognitive psychotherapy is based on an approach to the initially distorted type of thinking that reacts to “internal events.”
MCT therapy involves changing the patient's way of responding to negative thoughts.
It's not the presence, quality or quantity of negative thoughts, but the reactions to them.
MCT differs from other therapies that ask you to analyze and challenge your negative thoughts.
Instead, you will eventually learn how to acknowledge those thoughts without engaging with them.
How Cognitive Therapy Works
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT or CBT, the abbreviations are equivalent) is a direction that works with the client’s unconscious beliefs and motivations.
With the help of analysis and gradual training, they are brought to a conscious level, and then the psychologist helps to change them to more rational and helpful ones.
