Overview
Despite the efficacy of Mindfulness-integrated CBT as a transdiagnostic approach to treating a wide range of mental health conditions, it is inevitably complex. Clinicians need as much assistance and training to improve its use, especially with high comorbidity and complex or reluctant clients.
The masterclass series aims to assist therapists already trained in MiCBT to deepen their skills and make the most out of the MiCBT approach. You will learn useful strategies that can make a marked difference in your therapy outcomes. It will offer the space to discuss problems you commonly or occasionally encounter in your clinical work and provide tools to address them.
Our masterclasses are specifically designed to assist mental health professionals who have already undertaken basic training in MiCBT. It is an opportunity to learn directly from Dr Bruno Cayoun, the principal developer of MiCBT.
Teaching Approach
Masterclasses last 2 hours and are offered online only. A masterclass is a live presentation where you watch the trainer discuss a specific topic and answer and discuss related questions in real-time. Although you are invited to send questions that you may have related to the masterclass topic, it is not a requirement for you to attend. To prevent distractions and maximise the focus on the masterclass theme, only topics related to the masterclass theme will be discussed. For example, if the theme is “improving interoceptive exposure while in crisis”, queries about how to use the Socratic dialogue will be addressed in relation to this theme only.
Q&A
The masterclass ends with a 20-minute online discussion and Q&A with Dr Cayoun.
If you are unable to attend or prefer not to ask questions publicly, you are encouraged to send any related questions you may have via the registration form. The name of attendees who send questions is kept completely confidential.
Masterclasses are conducted online using Zoom. This is accessed through your internet browser, and you do not need to purchase any software – all you need is a computer with a good internet connection, a headset with a microphone and a webcam. Information on accessing the masterclass with Zoom is available after registration.
