stressors of the client. this usually is used to help clients better cope with their stress or anxiety after stressful events. this is a three-phase process that trains the client to use skills that they already have to better adapt to their current stressors. the first phase is an interview phase that includes psychological testing, client self-monitoring, and a variety of reading materials. this allows the therapist to individually tailor the training process to the client. clients learn how to categorize problems into emotion-focused or problem-focused so that they can better treat their negative situations. this phase ultimately prepares the client to eventually confront and reflect upon their current reactions to stressors, before looking at ways to change their reactions and emotions to their stressors. the focus is conceptualization. the second phase emphasizes the aspect of skills acquisition and rehearsal that continues from the earlier phase of conceptualization. the client is taught skills that help them cope with their stressors. these skills are then practised in the space of therapy. these skills involve self-regulation, problem-solving, interpersonal communication skills, etc. the third and final phase is the application and following through of the skills learned in the training process. this gives the client opportunities to apply their learned skills to a wide range of stressors. activities include role-playing, imagery, modeling, etc. in the end, the client will have been trained on a preventive basis to inoculate personal, chronic, and future stressors by breaking down their stressors into problems they will address in long-term, short-term, and intermediate coping goals. activity-guided cbt: group-knitting a newly developed group therapy model based on cbt integrates knitting into the therapeutical process and has been proven to yield reliable and promising results. the foundation for this novel approach to cbt is the frequently emphasized notion that therapy success depends on the embeddedness of the therapy method in the patients' natural routine. similar to standard group-based cbt, patients meet once a week in a group of 10 to 15 patients and knit together under the instruction of a trained psychologist or mental health professional. central for the therapy is the patient's imaginative ability to assign each part of the wool to a certain thought. during the therapy, the wool is carefully knitted, creating a knitted piece of any form. this therapeutical process teaches the patient to meaningfully align thought, by (physically) creating a coherent knitted piece. moreover, since cbt emphasizes the behavior as a result of cognition, the knitting illustrates how thoughts (which are tried to be imaginary tight to the wool) materialize into the reality surrounding us. mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy (mcbh) is a form of cbt focusing on awareness in reflective approach with addressing of subconscious tendencies. it is more the process that contains basically three phases that are used for achieving wanted goals. unified protocol the unified protocol for transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders (up) is a form of cbt, developed by david h. barlow and researchers at boston university, that can be applied to a range of and anxiety disorders. the rationale is that anxiety and depression disorders often occur together due to common underlying causes and can efficiently be treated together. the up includes a common set of components: psycho-education cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation changing behaviour the up has been shown to produce equivalent results to single-diagnosis protocols for specific disorders, such as ocd and social anxiety disorder. several studies have shown that the up is easier to disseminate as compared to single-diagnosis protocols. criticisms
