Here's a quick run-down of what the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme does for you and how it does it
What it does for you:
- When tinnitus bothers you for 15 minutes every day, spend 15 minutes every day DOING something about it two and a half minutes at a time
- The average user starts out stating tinnitus bothers them 80% or more of their time awake
- The average user finishes the course stating tinnitus bothers them 10% or less of their time awake
- The 12 part process was specifically developed for you when you have tinnitus that is severe and very severe (a TFI over 54%) - you go as far in to the course as you need, at your own pace
- Completing the process as it is presented users of the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme reach at least TFI category 2 (tinnitus is a small problem), including those starting with a TFI category 5 (tinnitus is a very big problem)
How it does it:
- The CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme is a Neuroscience & CBT protocol developed specifically for severe and very severe distress experienced because of tinnitus
- The programme combines one-to-one individual support (using Zoom, email, interactive logs and bespoke tools) with Internet-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (iCBT)
- There is a reason for everything used in the course being not only what it is but where it is in the process
- The protocol combines polyvagal informed neuro-psychotherapy and associated neuroscience, behavioural and cognitive therapy with a focus on 3rd wave CBT
- The cognitive therapy used enables psychological flexibility, developing and deepening a recovery-oriented perspective. This is wholly different to 2nd wave CBT that is problem-oriented and thought-focused
