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.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact
