Course Brief
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is the foundation of Counsellor training. It is the backbone, the spine that holds the modalities.
We must know how the mind essentially works and how this influences how we feel and in turn determines how we act. Of course, mind-emotions-action happens very quickly, in real life. It can happen all at once, so we are hardly aware of the distinct stages. CBT brings us back to this point.
All modern modalities derive from CBT in part or wholly. There is nothing new under the sun! So let’s be clear about the mind as the central processing unit or seat of decision, as we go about our lives.
In this vibrant workshop, Chris will take us through
- Perception and Self-talk
- Personality
- Building Relationships
- Empathy
- role plays
- case studies and videos
Finally, we will learn about ourselves and then through this process, how to counsel others more patiently and empathetically.
