MATRIX CPD PROGRAMME (2007)/2008
CERTIFICATE IN COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY 2007/8
Tutor: Lynda Thompson
Certificate Course of 5 weekends:
26 +27 January 2008
23+24 February 2008
29+30 March 2008
29+30 April 2008
24+25 May 2008
10 am – 5pm each day
Fee….£850.
Learning will consist of tutor presentation, guided experiential work, video demonstrations, role play and applying the model self-reflectively.
This certificated course will begin with a 2-day introduction to the fundamental principles of CBT, followed by 8 days of experiential learning applying the CBT model to ourselves, and to our work with clients. This method of learning parallels the principle that ‘core level’ change requires changes in both rational and experiential systems.
Underpinning CBT is the proposition that we can change how we feel by changing the way we think . Albert Ellis, original founder, quoted the 1st century philosopher Epictetus : “Men are disturbed not by things but by the views which they take of them. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves, that is our ideas about things.”
We will also include the most recent directions – Gilbert’s ‘compassionate mind training’ and Padesky’s ‘new system thinking’, for instance – in which CBT emphasises the centrality of the therapeutic relationship when change is needed at a deeper experiential level.
We will learn to:
develop a conceptualisation – an understanding of ways in which events, cognition, affect, behaviour and physical responses impact on each other and can cause a destructive cycle to develop
establish an actively empathic and collaborative therapeutic relationship
engage in Socratic dialogue and guided discovery in order to encourage clients’ full participation- identify cognitive distortions and develop alternative balanced thinking, using thought records
identify those core beliefs or schemas which maintain low self-esteem, and how to cultivate self-esteem
collaborate on behavioural experiments, activity schedules, action plans and goal setting
structure sessions and agree and review homework and use cost-benefit
analysis
instil hope and foster attitudes which help make change possible
CBT is a humanistic therapy and its guiding principles may add to and be integrated with other approaches.
Coursework and Assessment
Participants will be required to keep a learning journal, complete formative written and practical assignments, and complete homework tasks.
A variety of different assessment methods will be used, including :
A 20-30 minute taped demonstration of CBT skills, from a practice session within the course. This will include peer and tutor feedback and discussion.
A written analysis of the recorded skills session, including self-assessment (2000 words)
A theory essay (2000 words)
A short class presentation

2-Day Integrative Workshop
An Integrated Approach to working with
Structural Dissociation of Personality in Trauma Victims
John Cairns
Trauma Therapist
24th 25th November 2007
Cost £170
The workshop will be an opportunity to update on recent developments in the Trauma Field. During the workshop John intends to promote discussion on the “toolkit” and “detective” approach to working with both “simple and complex” trauma. The structure of the workshop will follow a parallel process to that of working with trauma in that he will cover: understanding trauma, containment, safe place techniques, re-experiencing symptoms of flashbacks and nightmares, graded exposure, searching for hot spots and periods of post/pre trauma amnesia, desensitisation, body memory issues, parts and re-integration of the separate factual, emotional, physical and imaginary memory of the traumatising event.
Following a career in the Royal Air Force, John Cairns has been in private practice as a Counsellor/Trauma Therapist since 1994. In 1997 he decided to specialise in working with individuals, families and groups who were the survivors of traumatic and critical incidents. He uses short-term Trauma Focused CBT intervention techniques, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR and Critical Incident Stress Reprocessing. He has extensive experience working with the survivors of road traffic accidents, rail disasters, military personnel, robberies, attacks and all forms of abuse. He is currently an independent member of an NHS Visiting Psychiatric Services to HM Prisons. He is retained by the Eastern England Ambulance NHS Trust to supervise and train their Staff Support Scheme Counsellors, Facilitators, Critical Incident Responders and Mediators.

1-Day Integrative Workshop
Working with enactments and impasses in psychotherapy
Professor Maria Gilbert
6th October 2007
Cost £85
In this workshop we will focus on the concept of the ‘relational unconscious’ (also known as the ‘analytic third’) and explore its significance for an understanding of psychotherapy. We will see how this joint unconscious process between the therapist and the client may manifest in ‘enactments’ and ‘impasses’ in the relationship and we will explore ways of moving through these ‘stuck points’ in the work. There will be some theoretical input illustrated by clinical examples with opportunities for discussion and work in small groups.
Professor Maria Gilbert , Chartered Clinical Psychologist and UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist is currently the Joint Head of the Integrative Psychotherapy and Integrative Counselling Psychology Department at Metanoia Institute in West London. These training courses draw substantially from the insights and developments in contemporary relational approaches to psychotherapy. Maria's commitment to integration has led her to an exploration of relational psychoanalysis and psychotherapy with its rich contributions to an understanding of the dynamic co-construction of the process between the two people in a psychotherapeutic dyad, at both explicit and implicit, verbal and non-verbal levels of the interaction. Maria is an experienced trainer, supervisor and psychotherapist in the field of integration and the co-author with Ken Evans of two books, one on integrative psychotherapy and one on supervision.
