The feeling of success is like none other. For many, the pursuit of this feeling is the driving force for life. However, this feeling can sometimes be distorted depending on the environment that one is working in. The imposter syndrome is a thought pattern in which an individual constantly feels their own accomplishments are insufficient and in some cases, considers themselves a fraud to their own success. The reality of this phenomenon is that it’s more common than you wo...uld think. According to a clinical research paper published in the Journal of Behavioral Science, approximately 70% of the U.S. population experiences these kind of thoughts. These feelings tend to appear when milestones occur within one’s life. Certain stressors related to professional or personal success can trigger negative thoughts of being incompetent or disqualified for the given position. These negative thoughts are considered cognitive distortions and are based on fear and anxiety rather than facts.

Having the blues or moments of sadness is a normal part of life. All people experience times of feeling down in the dumps. The absence of this experience prevents us from appreciating the good things in life. Depression may be triggered by difficult life events such as the death of a loved one, relationship ending, being fired from a job, or having children leave for college or moving out on their own. Other times, depression may be the result of having disappointing experien...ces or things not going our way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been shown to be effective in helping people with depression. The techniques of Behavioral Activation and Cognitive Restructuring can reduce your symptoms. In some cases, CBT in combination with psychiatric medication may be indicated. Pacific CBT therapists are specially trained to assess and treat clients with depression. We offer the best therapy for depression in San Francisco. Our therapists are pleased to speak with you about treatment options.

Cognitions, or our thoughts, are a basic part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), especially when burdened by anxiety. Traditional CBT is based on trying to challenge our beliefs. The third-wave of CBT, known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), has a slightly different view. Rather than challenging thoughts, we learn to have a different relationship to them, namely identifying the thoughts that feed anxiety. Next, we aim to accept the thoughts as thoughts while choosing behaviors that are in line with our values. The psychotherapists at Pacific CBT incorporate traditional CBT with ACT.
