CBT for Anxiety, Stress & Worry.
CBT for Anxiety, Stress and Worry training is an APT-Accredited 3-day course from one of the UK's leading providers of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training courses. We bring the training to your own organisation, for maximum cost-effectiveness, and up to 15 people can attend. (2-day version also available.)
Executive Summary:
'Worry' is the epitome on non-productive distress, because although it is by definition distressing, it also impairs the person's ability to resolve any problems that realistically underlie the worry. Equally, some people find that they have simply acquired the 'habit' of worrying, and as soon as one problem is resolved will find 'another peg to hang their worry on'. And finally there is the concept of 'stress'. Which on this course we define as the pressure put on the person who may or may not suffer distressing worry as a result: some individuals seem to acquire a much greater ability to cope with 'stress' than others do.
What this course will do for you:
- You will know about stress and worry: the symptoms, causes and how it affects people.
- You will be familiar with the major CBT techniques for dealing with stress and alleviating worry, and how to apply them with your own patients.
The course covers:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder: the DSM term closest to 'chronic, long-term worry'. In GAD the patient normally exhibits a mix of overestimation of catastrophe and underestimation of coping ability.
- Why mental acts such as (a) suppression and (b) rumination are counterproductive.
- The measurement and recording of anxiety levels.
- Behavioural interventions, (which tend to be well-liked by clients) such as: The worry period; assertive habit-breaking; time structuring; goal setting.
- The role of music and the rationale for it.
- Biological interventions, which can be extremely powerful and fast-acting, and form a legitimate part of modern CBT: relevant illnesses; regular routine; exercise; diet; mood-altering substances; sleep; relaxation.
- Interventions involving manipulation of the surroundings, examining what stresses the person is under and, maybe, helping to reduce it.
- Recognising, using and developing social support networks.
- Interventions involving changing the person's thinking style - i.e. cognitive interventions - include some of the 'heavy hitters' in stress and worry: Logical, Evidence-Based Reasoning; Problem Solving; Distraction; Stress-Inoculation Training and more.
- Assessment, using the five factor approach.
- Measurement of progress, using subjective and objective methods.
- Course Methods include lecture, discussion, video material, case analysis and practice exercises.
What you receive as a result of attending the training:
You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining APT's Level 1 accreditation, and receive a certificate to this effect. The accreditation gives you access to online resources associated with the course and access to the online exam if you wish to uprate your APT accreditation to Level 2.
Your registration lasts indefinitely, and your accreditation lasts for 3 years and is renewable by sitting an online refresher which also upgrades your accreditation to APT Level 2 if you are successful in the associated online exam.
Your accreditation is given value by the fact of over 100,000 people having attended APT training. See APT accreditation for full details.
Booking this training is easy.
Option 1: Bring the course to your organisation:

Option 2: Live webinar:
This course can be provided as a live webinar for groups. A webinar typically takes slightly less time than the live course on which it is based (because of less group discussion and group exercises) but they are live and pleasingly interactive.
Delegates can be anywhere that is conducive to concentrating, all together or separate, so long as they have access to a computer with a good internet connection.

Option 3: 'Train the Trainer':
If you or a colleague are a senior professional (e.g. consultant psychologist) and have a talent for communication and teaching, then you are welcome to apply to become an APT-accredited tutor. You could then tutor the course - or your chosen modules from it - in your own organisation, under license.
This is not only a highly appropriate use of senior professionals, but it also saves your organisation the tutor-component of the fee (around 50%) each time you run it or your chosen modules.
