Group Leaderships Cont. + CBT Presentation

The presentation on Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy got me thinking about "Questioning," one of the skills from the leadership self assessment. Dr. 2343 talked a bit about Socratic questioning in CBT, and how it differs from the types of questioning used in other models like SFBT. He reinforced that in CBT, the questions should be aimed at maladaptive thought patterns and ways of thinking. This differs from the line of questioning in something like SFBT, where the questions are more...pragmatic? And goal oriented. I've been thinking a lot about how carefully questions need to be formed in order to achieve what your therapeutic model is trying to achieve. This is obvious, but easier said than done, especially when you're having to come up with questions off the cuff in a real group. I think if I had the chance to really practice with one therapeutic model like CBT it would come naturally, but at this point in my learning I still have to think a lot about what I'm going to say.
