Course Description:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness are two methods on the cutting-edge of evidence-based psychotherapy today. Together these techniques are highly-effective in the treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders. Even disorders found to be often resistant to treatments, such as substance abuse and personality disorders, are responding to this unique integration of therapeutic skills. With the advent of MRI, researchers have been able to see structural changes in the brain as a result of Mindfulness practice. Other research has demonstrated how combining CBT and Mindfulness significantly reduces relapses.

By attending this one-day seminar you will learn not only the basic techniques in DBT and Mindfulness, but also the application of more advanced methods. This approach is designed both to inform those who are new to this field as well as to provide more advanced clinical options to those already familiar with the basics. The seminar will include PowerPoint slides, case examples and experiential learning.

Objectives:
  1. Explain the most recent research findings that relate to the effectiveness of CBT and Mindfulness.
  2. Identify symptoms-specific treatment protocols combining CBT and Mindfulness methods.
  3. Explain the three levels of cognition and how this relates to our different mental states.
  4. Combine the seven-column thought record with the four basic strategies of Mindfulness training.
  5. Implement treatments that help anxious clients cope with cognitive distortions and habitual maladaptive breathing.
  6. Evaluate progress in therapy and client readiness for more advanced techniques.
