Trying New Behaviours
In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a key skill is trying out new ways of doing things — these are called Behavioural Experiments. They can be especially helpful if you find yourself stuck in an unhelpful cycle, such as avoiding certain situations because you assume you won’t be able to cope. Behavioural experiments allow us to test those assumptions and gather useful information about whether they’re accurate. They can also be a practical way of introducing any new behaviour and reflecting on it's effects, helping you discover what works better for you. Always ensure your experiments remain safe — for example, if you’re trying out new forms of exercise, check with your doctor first to make sure it’s suitable for you.
