An introduction to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) CPD
About the course
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that is provided by the NHS, and CBT therapists in private practice, to help people with the symptoms of various mental health conditions, including mainly anxiety and depression.
CBT focuses on the way people think, feel and behave, to help people to overcome unhelpful thoughts, and emotional and behavioural issues. Our mental health determines how we handle unhelpful thoughts, how we cope with stress, how we relate to others, how we behave, and how we make choices in life. CBT has a wide range of evidence for its efficacy, and it is recommended all over the world.
CBT has a natural synergy with hypnotherapy and research has evidenced that the two approaches can be effectively combined.
This CPD will help you to answer the questions on the AHD CBT Module, however it is also of interest to any solution focused hypnotherapy practitioner who wishes to gain an understanding of CBT and to take away some examples of basic CBT skills to use in your hypnotherapy practice.
We will cover:
- a brief overview of the history and development of CBT
- the CBT model: Thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
- a comparison with solution focused therapy
- how CBT therapists work with their clients (agenda setting, goals, homework)
- samples of formulations used by CBT therapists
- types of cognitive and behavioural techniques used by CBT therapists
cognitive distortions/faulty thinking styles/cognition and language - how CBT can be combined with hypnotherapy including practical considerations
- research for cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy (and provision of research links)
- examples of CBT worksheets
