Ms. Chia Li provided insights into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and introduced 10 common unhelpful thinking patterns. Students engaged in a mini-activity to recognize their own thought patterns, followed by completing a Dysfunctional Thought Record worksheet to document their thoughts and emotions.<\/p><p>A key highlight of the session was a role-play in which a student volunteered to act as a client while Ms. Chia Li demonstrated counselling techniques using the Dysfunctional Thought Record. This practical exercise provided participants with the opportunity to observe and learn essential skills for peer counselling.<\/p><p>Reflecting on the session, Goh En Qi, a Bachelor of Computer Science (Intelligent Systems) student, noted, &#8220;I learned about the 10 most common unhelpful thinking patterns. I also learned that by shifting our automatic thoughts, we can instantly change the way we view a situation or person. It was indeed a very fruitful workshop.&#8221;<\/p><p>This session underscored the importance of self-awareness and cognitive strategies in personal growth.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 7th August 2024, the Student Services Department conducted the fourth session of the Peer Counsellor Program, titled \u201cHow Changing Your Thoughts Can Transform Your Life.\u201d Facilitated by licensed counsellor [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":46609,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Peer Counsellor Program: CBT Workshop | First City UC","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Discover how First City UC's peer counsellor program uses cognitive behavioural therapy to manage unhelpful thinking patterns.
