Course Content
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
treatment, 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.
Through this one-day seminar you will learn not only the basic techniques in CBT 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.
