Acceptance and Commitment CBT

What is this workshop about? One of the key principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is that it is crucial to help clients see the impact of thinking on emotions. Biased thinking patterns can lead to low mood, high anxiety, low self esteem, anger or a range of other psychological challenges. These cognitive patterns are also crucial in maintaining psychological disorders such as depression or GAD. Key to many CBT interventions is to help the client challenge their own thought processes and break the vicious circle of biased thinking and negative affect. This workshop will look in detail at the practical techniques which can help clients overcome these patterns of thinking which drive emotional reactions and behavioural avoidance or overreaction. Key skills to help clients replace dysfunctional thought structures with more effective, balanced perspectives will be at the heart of the workshop. The workshop will include live demonstrations by Prof McGhee of some of the most crucial techniques. There will also be a case study for participants to review and discuss.

A four-hour workshop for Neurodiverse individuals and those who recognise some traits in themselves.

This offering is for an initial session exploring your enneagram map report , which is included. The test I use is from Aephoria, and it will give you your tritype (your strategies for thinking, feeling and doing) as well as your instinctual variant, which is helpful information about where you tend to focus your attention. Once you have your map, we will unpack the information together, and if you wish, go on to explore it over a series of sessions, using creative tools and practices to find its meaning and wisdom for you in your life.
