Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

So you only have eight sessions: What do you do? Integrating evidence-informed practices into time-limited psychotherapy

CBT emphasizes cognitive restructuring and present-focused skills training, while attachment-based interventions delve into relational history and emotional healing. Often CBT is the only modality new clinicians are equipped with when they begin their practice. As clinicians gain experience, many recognize that applying CBT protocols in real-life therapeutic settings is challenging and seek alternative approaches. This gives rise to “eclectic” approaches which involve attachment-based interventions, such as emotion-focused therapy (EFT) or dyadic developmental psychotherapy (DDP).

Substantial research supports the importance of one’s personal narrative in overcoming challenging experiences, including life transitions and trauma. This training is designed to deepen participants understanding of how journaling can support the psychotherapeutic process. Multiple therapeutic modalities, including narrative therapy and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) use the personal narrative as part of psychotherapy.
