Training: Strengths-based CBT Training - Vancouver

STRENGTHS-BASED CBT: SHOW ME!

A New Two-Day Workshop Presented by Christine A. Padesky, Ph.D.

I am very excited to let you know about a different kind of workshop that we will be offering this fall across Canada. It is the first in a new series of "Show Me!" workshops being presented by world renowned cognitive therapist Dr. Christine A. Padesky.

We will have a chance to see inside a master clinician's mind, virtually taking the top off of Dr. Padesky’s head and having a look at how she is formulating her therapeutic interventions. The workshop is structured around clinical role-play demonstrations which Dr. Padesky will then slowly unpack, allowing us to follow her decision making as the interaction unfolds. Following each demonstration and lengthy debriefing attendees will get a chance to work on the same skills.

When I first started attending workshops given by Dr. Padesky more than 20 years ago, I and my colleagues were convinced that she had a secret stash of magic powders that made her clinical work so effective. However, I have since realized that her skill developed over time through her continual analysis of what works and what doesn’t. This workshop lets us listen in as she makes a myriad of decisions concerning what paths to follow as she does this.

Strengths-Based CBT: Show Me! will be held in Vancouver on October 7 & 8, in Ottawa on October 28 & 29, and in Toronto on November 5 & 6. It gathers together all of the various elements of strength- and resilience-focused therapy developed by Dr. Padesky over the last few years, to show how and when to integrate these skills into standard CBT.

It promises to be a really useful and refreshingly different way to hone skills and improve learning. All the details (agenda, prices, venues) are posted on our website, where you can book a place and pay on line, request an invoice be sent to your employer, or download a brochure. I do hope you will be able to join us for this excellent training this fall.
