One Day Online Workshop
One Day Online Workshop
Based on the core competencies for delivering CBT, this is the only in-house training event designed to familiarise IAPT professionals with chairwork and its applications in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders.
Core competencies for CBT (Roth & Pilling, 2007) and process-based CBT competencies (Hayes & Hoffman, 2018) both recommend that chairwork and role-play are used in the treatment of specific presentations and disorders. This is the first workshop designed to meet the needs of IAPT professionals who are new to these experiential interventions.
Informed by competency frameworks, this one day or two day in-house workshop introduces High Intensity CBT Therapists and their supervisors to the applications of chairwork within IAPT settings.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
… Describe the core forms of chairwork used in CBT
… Understand when, why, and how to use chairwork in CBT
… Apply unique process-based skills to effectively facilitate chairwork and role-play within a cognitive behavioural framework
… Overcome common obstacles when using chairwork
Specific interventions will be taught, modelled, and practiced during the workshop. These include chairwork applied to:
… Resistant negative automatic thoughts
… Negative core beliefs
… Problematic cognitive processes (e.g. worry and self-criticism)
… Behavioural skills training (e.g. assertiveness)
… Distressing memories
