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.
