Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Training for Therapists & Coaches

Description

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a powerful and proven technique for treating eating disorders. In this course, you will learn how to use CBT to help clients with eating disorders overcome their negative thoughts and behaviours and develop healthier coping skills.

Eating disorders are complex and serious mental health conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. They can have devastating consequences for physical, emotional, and social well-being. CBT is one of the most effective and evidence-based treatments for eating disorders, as it helps clients understand the underlying causes of their problems and challenge their distorted beliefs and assumptions.

This course will teach you the fundamentals of CBT, such as the cognitive model, the ABC framework, the Socratic method, and the core therapeutic skills. You will also learn how to apply CBT to specific types of eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. You will explore the psychological, biological, and social factors that contribute to eating disorders, as well as the common comorbidities and complications. You will also learn how to assess, diagnose, and formulate treatment plans for your clients, as well as how to conduct effective therapy sessions and monitor progress.

Whether you are a therapist, coach, counsellor, or simply interested in learning more about CBT and eating disorders, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to make a positive difference in your client's lives.
