CBT for Clinicians
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is an umbrella refers to a variety of techniques and protocols that are based in theories of learning and behavioral change. Altogether, CBT, as a treatment, has the most research backing its effectiveness. CBT is simple on the surface: how we think and act impact how we feel. But applying it to our practice can be challenging. Many clinicians are left asking:
What do I do if my client's thoughts or beliefs are accurate?
Won't exposure cause harm or retraumatize them?
How can CBT get to the "root" or "deeper" issues my clients face?
Some struggle to find their style in CBT— it does not feel natural or seem to fit our client's way of understanding the world.
Consultation and personalized training can help answer these questions and build up your competence and confidence in delivering this intervention. As fellow practitioners and educators, our team is skilled in providing on-going training and support to clinicians.
