CBT Meets Mindfulness

CBT Meets Mindfulness Program Testimonial: "This program had a profound impact on my personal and professional life. It equipped me with effective tools and enhanced my ability to understand both my clients and myself, offering a transformative experience overall."

A practical introduction to the current landscape of cognitive therapies.

This is the second module of our MBCT Facilitation Certificate Program.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most widely used and empirically supported psychotherapy for many mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety, and has also been shown to prevent relapse.

However, CBT is not monolithic or frozen in time and continues to grow and evolve, with mindfulness increasingly becoming a core component of the more recent “third wave” cognitive therapies.

Participants Will Learn

  1. An understanding of the “three waves” in the evolution of cognitive therapy
  2. Practical techniques you can use with your own clients or patients
  3. A high-level understanding of the current state of research and application
  4. Where to go for more information and additional learning

This course is primarily focused on learning how to support people living with depression and anxiety.

CBT Meets Mindfulness Program Testimonial: “The seamless integration of CBT and mindfulness techniques offered profound insights. The invaluable support and guidance were terrific. I highly recommend this program.”
