Why CBT in the home and community?

CBT is a skills-based approach that involves practicing a set of cognitive and behavioural skills. Given the focus of CBT on practicing skills outside of the therapists’ office, the need for coaching and modeling of these skills in the real world and with real problems is essential. These problems may include problems with home management, exercise, increasing social activity, difficulties with organization and planning, reducing engagement in compulsive behaviours and exposing yourself to feared situations, events and objects. The importance of practice in therapy is emphasized by the benefits associated with completion of homework in CBT. Because individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and attentional problems often report difficulty initiating, maintaining or completing assigned homework tasks on their own, coaching plays an important role in the therapy process.
