“You can’t fall off the floor!”
Are you ready for a change, but not sure how to find your feet? If so this may be the workshop for you.
This is a two day workshop based on the principles and practise of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. (CBT). CBT is a well established therapy which can be helpful for a wide range of emotional difficulties that many people experience at some time in their life. CBT can help you learn to manage your emotions in a more healthy, balanced and constructive manner. At the heart of CBT lies the idea that our feelings and subsequent actions are strongly influenced and connected to our thoughts and beliefs.
A first step towards becoming more in control of your feelings and consequent behaviours is to have a sound understanding how your beliefs about yourself others and the world at large can often be distorted, exaggerated and ultimately unhelpful. As humans we seem to have a tendency towards irrationality, especially when under stress. This workshop can help you understand yourself better, equip you with a tool box of skills to make everyday living easier and more fulfilling.
Many people find themselves trapped in patterns of behaviours they would rather not have. This can cause a great deal of problems and unhappiness. If you perhaps have a tendency towards feeling down, irritable, anxious or unassertive, this workshop could be very beneficial.
This workshop is facilitated by Jo Maguire. Jo has been a practising Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for 10 years. During this time she worked in the NHS for 5 years before joining the team at Personal & Relationship Counselling.
Jo has facilitated numerous workshops and therapy groups and has a strong belief in the power of working together in groups and strongly advocates the use of self help tools for every day living.
