--- - |2+ Abstract 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. - Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, EarlyView.
