What Are The Surprising Origins Of CBT Homework? - CBT Toolkit

What Are The Surprising Origins Of CBT Homework? Curious about the origins of homework in therapy and how it became a key part of helping people change their lives? In this informative video, we'll explore the surprising history behind CBT homework. We'll start by looking at ancient philosophy, particularly the ideas of the Stoics, who believed that our thoughts influence our feelings and reactions. Next, we'll examine how early science and psychology, through the work of pioneers like Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, shaped the development of structured exercises that clients use outside of therapy sessions. We’ll also discuss the influence of behaviorism, which emphasized practicing new behaviors through repetition and reinforcement. Combining these ideas led to the creation of practical homework assignments like thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling—tools designed to help clients become more proactive in managing their mental health. Today, therapists tailor these tasks to each individual’s goals, reviewing progress and adjusting strategies to build lasting skills. Whether you're curious about how therapy works or considering it for yourself, understanding the history of CBT homework reveals how ancient ideas and scientific research continue to impact mental health treatment today.
