MINDFULNESS (12 – 13 JANUARY 2016)
Mindfulness provides the key linking theme within the Certificate in 3rd Wave CBT. Representing both a state of being as well as a technique, this two day course provides both practice opportunities regarding different types of mindfulness training and provides a context within which different 3rd wave approaches incorporate or conceptualise mindfulness – from compassionate mindfulness, through Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy to developing Mindfulness as an alternative skill to emotional avoidance. The focus on attention and non-judgemental acceptance rather than avoidance, control and judgement ensures that mindfulness becomes a thread running throughout third wave psychotherapies
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY (11 – 12 FEBRUARY 2016)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a treatment package that combines several traditions such as early behaviourism, positive psychology and mindfulness. ACT is a trans-diagnostic model that has been successfully used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, eating disorders and substance misuse just to name a few. ACT’s target is to promote psychological flexibility, that is, the ability to behave in a way that is consistent with one’s values even in the presence of aversive experiences (e.g. thoughts, feelings, physical pain). This is true as much for our clients as for the ACT practitioner. If you work in a context in which behaviour change is paramount, than this course will provide you with some very useful tools.
COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY (15 – 16 MARCH 2016)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), is a research-based therapy founded on a combination of principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Evolutionary Psychology and Attachment Theory. It was developed to work specifically with clients who had high levels of shame and self-criticism and who had had early experiences of poor attachment, affiliation and affection. By developing care and affiliative focused motivation, attention, emotion, behaviour and thinking CFT begins to address these problems. Key skills with CFT include the use of compassion focused imagery, the development of a compassionate self and the use of a sense of a compassionate self to engage with areas of personal difficulty.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (19 - 20 APRIL 2016)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has developed as a combination of operant and skills training approaches, the incorporation of the concept of dialectics and the central role of mindfulness. Variations of DBT – in its pure form, in the form of its component parts or in adapted forms such as Radically Open DBT have developed as a gold standard approach to working with “treatment resistant” and “difficult to treat” clients.
