Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
Behavioural experiments are a powerful route to cognitive change. Effective CBT is more of a doing than a talking therapy. We use behavioural experiments across disorders to test patients’ negative thoughts and fears, to make important discoveries and to feel this learning sink in emotionally. This brief session will cover the basics of experiments and beyond. Therapists will develop a personal action plan to help make their therapy more active.
The event will be equivalent to 1.1/2hrs of CPD.

• How to set up and carry out a collaborative behavioural experiment

The BACP Low Intensity SIG are interested in the impact of clinical contact hours on Low Intensity/Wellbeing Practitioner wellbeing. This questionnaire contains six multi-choice questions and a free text box for you to share your experiences. The answers to these questions will help the BABCP SIG plan how to meet CPD topics and other developments within the SIG. The SIG hope to produce a write up of the answers to this questionnaire to be shared with SIG members and to be used in training.
