The same concept can be applied to psychotherapy. When goal achievement is obtained, it can take a long while if you were to only think about the topics and techniques taught to you for an hour per week.

Cognitive-behavioral therapists assign weekly projects for their patients to work on. This encourages them to practice the techniques they have acquired and use them in real-life situations, ultimately changing their frame of mind more positively.

Chapter 2. The Goal Of The Psychotherapist

CBT is a forward-focused approach that relies on setting goals and focusing on how you can improve your future. Unlike other forms of therapy that rely heavily on talking about and healing the past, CBT focuses on the present moment and how you can adjust your thought processes to improve your future experiences. Part of being able to successfully make that happen is having a goal in mind. Setting goals ensures that you have something to look forward to that is both measurable and achievable. Ideally, these goals need to be meaningful too so that you are genuinely invested in doing your part to make sure they come true.

There is a very specific way in which goals are going to support you with your CBT, which means that you need to be fairly specific in your goal setting. In this chapter, we are going to explore how you can set achievable goals for yourself so that your therapy can be both effective and efficient. Identifying your goal will support you in determining what your course of action needs to be to support your success.
