20 Skills to Work with Emotion in Pyschotherapy
Location: Broadcast Live Via Zoom
Contact Phone Number: (416) 519-7904
Contact E-Mail: training@cpeh.ca
Event Link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/20-skills-to-working-with-emotion-in-psychotherapy-tickets-886435822407?aff=CPA

This workshop is designed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg, an international leader in the field of psychotherapy and emotion, and it is tailored for licensed mental health professionals and graduate students from various training backgrounds who have training in psychotherapy.

Working with emotion is an essential component of psychotherapy, and therapists can encounter challenging emotional processes during treatment. For example, clients often present with secondary symptoms which are frequently mistaken for the main problem. These secondary symptoms obscure the deeper emotional issues that require focused attention and intervention. To address these and other emotional issues in psychotherapy, therapists require training to learn specific skills and techniques.

In this workshop, you will learn 20 evidence-based skills to help you assess specific emotional issues and apply targeted interventions to address them. These skills draw on decades of research on emotions from multiple perspectives, including evolutionary biology and neuroscience, and can be integrated into any psychotherapeutic approaches and used with any client population. Video recordings of real therapy sessions will be used to illustrate client processes and interventions.

Early Registration Rate – $215 CAD (+ taxes)

4-Day Intensive Online Training Workshop – October 24 to 27, 2024

The Centre for Posttraumatic Stress & Anxiety Treatment is pleased to announce a four-day intensive online training workshop in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

PE is a manualized cognitive-behavioural treatment for PTSD with an extensive base of empirical support.

Topics covered:
• Assessment, diagnosis and psychopathology of PTSD;
• Empirically-supported psychotherapeutic treatments for chronic PTSD and their comparative efficacy;
• Emotional Processing Theory and its relation to PE;
• Implementation of the components of PE, including psychoeducation, breathing retraining, in vivo exposure to trauma reminders, imaginal exposure to trauma memories, and processing of exposures;
• Identification and management of obstacles to effective emotional processing, including avoidance, over-engagement, and under-engagement;

Video vignettes will illustrate the various components of PE, and participants will have an opportunity to practice selected interventions in pairs during break-out sessions.

Intended audience:
Licensed mental health professionals or those working under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Previous training and experience with cognitive-behavioural therapy is strongly advised.

Dates: October 24 to 27, 2024
Location: Online (live) via Zoom
