Well yes CBT could be like acting but you would have to stay in roll for it to work. You can't leave the roll or you would be back where you started. This is the problem with medication. Without CBT you have to stay on the medication. Changing thought patterns is like moving into a different roll and never leaving it. Can you do that? Or will you always think of it as just a roll? With CBT you can stay who you are but think different. For a good actor to thoroughly move into character you have to not be able to recognize them. This is hard yet if done right they are the same person they were just different. And if the roll is better than they were why not stay in it and take it as how they are now.
Simply because core beliefs say not to. They have to be changed first for it to work.
I am struggling with exposure plan for a week, having dificcult in divide my goals in small goals. Because they parently seam not possible to divide. But today finally I could create small goals to achieve the main goal. And I was very surprising for me.
In this afternoon I was viewing an interview of an actor, and he was talking about their work. Suddently I thought "wait, this is what I´m doing with me, using CBT !" We have to study ourselves has much deep as possible.
If our career were being actors we were studying others peoples personalities in depth. Or if an actor will interpretate us in movie, he was doing an investigation similar to ours. Also sometimes actors have dificult going out of their characters, when they finish a job. They like and enjoy doing their work.
For me this appear to be a new aproach of seeing this treatment process, although the way or reason we arrived here are not very pleasent. But I think we could see CBT not so much related to a problem but related to something that it is interansting also, and hoppely a great experience in our lifes.
