Description

“I understand the logic, but I just don’t feel the change.”

Clients struggle with CBT when it can feel like it does not fully capture how deeply rooted their suffering can be.

This training will teach you next-level case conceptualization and body-based approaches so you can....

...develop more targeted treatment plans and watch clients embody the change worked on in therapy.

Move beyond problematic schemas!

…and help clients form new belief structures to breakthrough rigid and destructive habits.

Move beyond problematic thoughts!

…and implement body-based techniques that help clients feel in charge of their minds and emotions.

Best of all, the learning will be fun and easy—including use of case studies, activities, visual tools, and experiential exercises.

If you want to take your CBT to the next level, purchase now!
