Addressing Roadblocks & Repairing Ruptures in CBT

Who is this course for?

Mental health practitioners with 2 years+ CBT experience

Pre-requisites for attendance at the workshop are:

Satisfying qualification requirements that the practitioner already has intermediate to advanced CBT skills e.g. has been a CBT practitioner for at least 2 years, and has good knowledge and use of CBT formulation and CBT skills. You should be able to use these with a partner without coaching (e.g. identification of negative automatic thoughts, establishing behavioural experiments).
At least two years experience as a qualified mental health professional.
Willingness to do self-experiential CBT work.

Drawing on the CBT literature surrounding the process of therapy, this workshop will focus on developing and fine tuning skills in:

recognising and bringing up issues of resistance at an early stage.
using a CBT framework to formulate, with the client, personal barriers to progress.
drawing on this formulation to assist with adopting an empathic and validating approach to the client’s resistance to change.
understanding our own reactions to the client and bringing them into the formulation.
specific techniques for bringing up and dealing with common roadblocks in CBT.
