The successes of metacognitive therapy
Metacognitive therapy is unique in the sense that it involves the development of beneficial metacognitive beliefs. In many cases, it has shown to be more effective than cognitive behavioural therapy , another dominant approach taken by therapists.
For example, it can be helpful for someone to believe “I can direct my thoughts and emotions, and it is beneficial for me.” Believing in this possibility is a necessary precursor to action. Metacognitive therapy focuses on building this foundation , and it’s from this firm grounding that people can reach for the specific tools of metacognition.
