Harnessing Self-Awareness for Therapeutic Transformation
The course “Utilizing the CBT Thought Record” defines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and provides a comprehensive overview on how the CBT thought record can be used as a practical tool to help clients better understand the relationship between their automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The feelings wheel is included in this training as clients and clinicians can use it to identify the emotions they are feeling when completing the thought record and in their daily lives.
This training highlights the efficacy of the CBT thought record through research and clinical findings, and informs clinicians on ways to effectively use the thought record in and out of sessions. Participants will also have an opportunity to practice using the CBT thought record and feelings wheel.
This is a beginner’s level course and there are no specific prerequisites for this course. The course is open to social work professionals, students, and individuals interested in gaining knowledge and skills related to Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
