this is where therapists plan what they are going to structure the sessions so the person if actually going to get something out of it. this could be relaxation methods or make the person engaged.

Question 4

what is individual differences

Answer 4

this is where (like in life) you may not want to speak to one therapist because you don’t like them or you don’t feel comfortable. also because the person may be rigid and not tell the therapist what’s going on so they cant do anything with the treatment. stress is also a factor not good for cbt as you mind cannot fully focus on the treatment.

what is empowerment

Answer 5

this is when clients develop their own coping mechanisms by recognising that they have free will.
