Introduction:
The study examined the qualitative impact and credibility of self-practice/self-reflection (SP/SR).
Methods:
Nineteen participants reflected on the self-practice of cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. Written reflections were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
Results:
Two superordinate themes (a) Personal-self and (b) Therapist-self, with themes and subthemes emerged.
Conclusion:
The themes found equivalents in existing goals of traditional therapists' training-therapy. Though brief, SP/SR may be a credible alternative/adjunctive training-therapy.
