Course Description:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness are two methods on the cutting-edge of evidence-based psychotherapy. Learn how to use these techniques effectively in the treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders. You will take home practical clinical applications from the latest research on how these techniques will activate brain centers for positive emotions in your clients. These innovative techniques will accelerate adaptive beliefs in child and adult populations and are effective in the treatment of many disorders.

By attending this seminar you will learn advanced methods to detach from thoughts and help your clients regulate emotions. In addition, you will take home symptom specific treatment protocols that combine mindfulness and CBT. Author, expert and national speaker Kate Cohen-Posey will provide you with a new more effective approach rooted in research, and also tools clients can use for a lifetime.

Objectives:
  1. Assess the extent of your knowledge of CBT protocols and interventions using fidelity rating scales.
  2. Practice mindfulness exercises that rapidly switch clients from the fight and flight to the rest and digest nervous symptoms.
  3. List three steps to detaching from thoughts and how this accelerates treatment.
  4. Describe brain research that activates centers of positive emotion and circuitry for pleasure and reward.
  5. Implement a neurologically based protocol that combines CBT, mindfulness, and activation of brain centers for positive emotions.
  6. Discuss symptom specific treatment protocols that combine CBT, mindfulness and neurologically enhanced therapy.
