CBT in Rabindrik Psychotherapy ( as I feel)


CBT is experimental reasoning. Rabindranath Tagore gave special importance on experimentation of mind. His dance drama - "Shyama", "Tasher desh" show such experiment on CBT. CBT develops attribution to inner control, self-efficacy as Individual patient him/herself does this experiment. Through the experiment, patient understands own cognitive errors and formulates specific strategies. Therapist's function is to understand locus of Consciousness and specific imageries playing in the mind of patient. Accordingly, therapist will customize the songs, drama etc.
In any experiment, experimenter should be neutral in observation. Tagore's song " Je ami oi vese chole, kaler dheue akash tole" signifies experimenter's attitude.
In Rabindrik Psychotherapy, the critical factor is sharing of consciousness through Rabindrik Arts. Below are some Cognitive errors and behavioural strategies.
COGNITIVE ERRORS
1. Filtering negative affects setting aside positives.
2. Over generalization based on single incident.
3. Polarized thinking.
4. Magnification of negatives.
5. Personalization.
6. External control.
7. Blaming.
8. Global Labeling
9. Always being right.
10. Emotional Reasoning.
BEHAVIOURAL STRATEGIES
1. Challenging if-logic (March alone....)
2. Flourishing Inner soul (Antara mamo bikoshito)
3. Paradigm shiftiong( Bhoy hote tabo abhaya montre)
