Description

  • The newest research about CBT and mindfulness
  • Effective techniques for anxiety, PTSD, and depressive disorders
  • One-Minute mindfulness strategies for you and your clients!

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, PTSD and depressive disorders. 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.

In this workshop you will learn how CBT, Mindfulness and core behavioral life skills actually rewire the brain to give clients an effective means for regulating emotions, getting unstuck, and making positive life changes. This integrative Cognitive-Behavioral and Mindfulness approach will be explored as a way of working with depression, anxiety and PTSD.
