MiCBT Masterclass 19: The importance of teaching ethical behaviour in MiCBT



Local Time
- Timezone: America/New_York
- Date: 11 Feb 2022
- Time: 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Trainer
- Dr Bruno CayounDirector | Trainer | Researcher
Dr Bruno Cayoun is a Clinical Psychologist and principal developer of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT). He is the Director of the MiCBT Institute, a leading provider of MiCBT training and professional development to mental health services and professional associations internationally since 2003.
Bruno keeps a private practice in Hobart, Australia, undertakes mindfulness research at the MiCBT Institute, and co-supervises several studies in collaboration with various institutions, including Monash University, University of Tasmania, University of Technology Sydney, and Massey University. He has practised mindfulness meditation and undergone intensive training in France, Nepal, India, and Australia since 1989.
Bruno is the author of three books, including Mindfulness-integrated CBT: Principles and Practice (Wiley, 2011), Mindfulness-integrated CBT for Well-Being and Personal Growth: Four Steps to Enhance Inner Calm, Self-Confidence and Relationships (Wiley, 2015) and co-author of The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness‐integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Wiley, 2018). His mindfulness training audio instructions are used worldwide in various languages, and he is the principal developer of questionnaires, including the Short Progress Assessment and the Mindfulness-based Self Efficacy Scale.
Overview
A client’s destructive behaviour towards themself or others precipitates crisis or prevents recovery. Therefore, encouraging clients to prevent harmful actions and perform helpful ones is an important aspect of good therapy. During Stage 4 of MiCBT, the relapse-prevention stage, clients are taught to prevent harmful behaviour through the “5 ethical challenges”, in the context of compassion training. Although this makes much sense to most clinicians, teaching explicit ethics in therapy can be a source of discomfort and a preference to teach compassion but skip the ethics part of Stage 4. This masterclass will provide a clear rationale for teaching ethical behaviour in the context of compassion training and dispel guilt and other difficulties that can occur during the process. It will explain why and how mindfulness skills cannot be maintained and grow without the stability of ethical intentions and actions. This masterclass will increase your confidence and competence in teaching ethical behaviour to your clients.
This masterclass will end with a 20-minute online discussion and Q & A with Dr Cayoun. If you cannot attend or prefer not to ask questions publicly, you are encouraged to send any related questions you may have before the day of the masterclass. Please do so via the dedicated online form following your registration or directly to [email protected] The name of attendees who send questions is kept completely confidential.
Learning Objectives
You will learn about:
• The nature and practice of ethics
• The relationship between mindfulness and ethics
• The important differences in teaching ethics as rules or as compassionate actions
• How ethical intention and action assists in improving one’s sense of self-worth and preventing relapse
• How to discuss ethics efficiently and confidently with clients
• Clarification of issues mentioned in questions you may send on this topic

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, up to 75% of adults experience at least one traumatic event at some point in their life, and about 20% of people who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. International studies estimate that 62 to 68% of young people will have been exposed to at least one traumatic event by the age of 17. The current lifetime prevalence of PTSD in the Australian population is about 12% (15.8% of women and 8.6% of men). Yet, PTSD is largely underdiagnosed, with only 1.7% of women and 1.3% of men reporting that they had been told by a doctor, nurse, or health professional that they have PTSD (ABS 2019). These statistics are similar in North America. This means that many of your clients have not yet been identified as suffering from trauma.
Since people who use mindfulness meditation are prone to recover some memories of trauma, although it is a significant advantage for healing, clinicians using MiCBT must be confident and skilful at recognising and addressing these symptoms. This masterclass will provide a deeper understanding of what maintains the symptoms of trauma, based on memory research, co-emergence reinforcement principles, and the neuroscience of mindfulness. This masterclass will also provide instructions for trauma-related exposure to assist in desensitisation and the prevention of avoidance. It will include guidance on how to case-conceptualise clients’ avoidance and other aversive reactions to traumatic symptoms, according to the co-emergence model of reinforcement, to increase the accuracy of treatment. This masterclass is ‘a a must’ for therapists using MiCBT regularly.
You are encouraged to send any related questions you may have, either upon registration or via email. The name of attendees who send questions is kept completely confidential. For a general overview of the masterclasses (process, pre-requisites, CPD, etc.), please read the General Overview on the previous page.
You will learn:
- How trauma memories are formed and maintained overtime
- How to use the co-emergence model of reinforcement to improve the behavioural case-conceptualisation of clients with trauma
- The nature of mindfulness-based exposure and its effects
- How to use the mindfulness-based interoceptive exposure task (MIET) as a distress reduction method
- How to use the MIET to decrease avoidance of panic symptoms and avoidance
Q and A
This masterclass will end with a 20-minute online discussion and Q & A with Dr Cayoun. If you cannot attend the online discussion or prefer not to ask questions publicly, you are encouraged to send any related questions you may have via the registration form. We reiterate that the name of attendees who send questions is kept completely confidential.
