TITLE: “Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life:
Healing from the Battle Scars of Youths”
SPECIAL GUEST: James P. Krehbiel, Ed.S., LPC, CCBT – Author of Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life; freelance writer; licensed professional counselor; and nationally certified cognitive-behavioral therapist practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Allen and Melody are joined by James Krehbiel to discuss his book Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life. Krehbiel states that when teens realize that they had no control over what happened to them, the healing begins. Often in these situations they feel that they were defective in some way, there by turning the anger of the situation onto themselves. You have to deal with that before you can move on. While the traumas a person experienced during childhood were not about you the healing process in all about you so that you can overcome the past.

About Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Therapy is currently in the forefront of treatment for various behavioral health problems. James has received specialized training in CBT and is recognized by the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists for his expertise. He is on the referral base of NACBT.org. He takes on-going course work in CBT to enhance his skills. James has written numerous ground-breaking articles on the efficacy of CBT for patients with a variety of behavioral health issues.
James takes his patients on a fact-finding journey to discover better ways of thinking and behaving. He works with patients to establish concrete counseling goals and uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to assist his clients. This process involves helping patients identify automatic thoughts (the spontaneous ways of thinking that create anxiety and depression), focusing on cognitive distortions (the maladaptive ways we filter reality), and core schema (the underlying dysfunctional assumptions and beliefs that we learn in childhood). Together, James and his patients work to untwist negative thinking and behavior to help people function more adaptively.
