Course Description:
Our bodies are not machines. There are real biological, scientific reasons our clients struggle to utilize the skills and practices we teach them, especially in the time of COVID. This Workshop provides space for clinicians to shift their mindset around "problematic clients" and offers innovative, modern approaches to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions (i.e. Challenging Cognitive Distortions, Identifying Triggers, Setting Boundaries, Mindfulness and Action /Treatment Plans). Structured as a teaching group, this Workshop encourages interactive participant involvement for changing patterns and integrating new skills with our clients (and ourselves).Bottom of FormTop of Form Provide clear and helpful psychoeducation for how trauma, chronic stress, and complex trauma impact our body, mind and spirit especially as it relates to the COVID pandemic.
