Description

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for chronic and recurring mental health issues, making it no surprise that CBT is the most widely used form of psychotherapy in the United States.

But when clients are suffering with really challenging issues, like deep-rooted developmental trauma, destructive relational patterns, and perfectionistic and rigid belief systems, it can make the therapeutic process feel like it’s going in circles…

... and you often end up working harder than the client to effect change.

In this training, Amy Van Arsdale, PhD and CBT expert, will show integrating CBT and Schema therapy interventions can help you overcome common obstacles to client progress and what to do when your initial interventions don’t work. Through use of clinical cases and videos, you will finish with a set of CBT and Schema Therapy clinical tools to enhance your practice and breakthrough some of your toughest cases.

In this training, you will also learn:

  • Integrative CBT interventions for anxiety, trauma, mood disorders and more
  • How combining Schema Therapy and CBT can make both short and long-term therapy more effective
  • Powerful CBT and Schema techniques for healing interpersonal trauma and rigid behavioural patterns
  • Practical CBT exercises, worksheets, and resources for immediate use

Leave this training with specific CBT and Schema Therapy tools to confidently and consistently treat your most difficult and resistant clients!
