CBT for Social Anxiety

Description

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a proven, evidence-based treatment for social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic and social phobia.

This course is suitable for anyone struggling with social anxiety themselves, or counsellors and psychotherapists looking to apply CBT to social anxiety with their clients. We'll explore CBT in detail before looking at what a step-by-step programme looks like.

In the course, we will cover:

• What is social anxiety?

• What is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and how does it work?

• Anxiety theory and understanding social anxiety

• Using both cognitive and behavioural strategies

• Step-by-step how to use CBT

• Integrating other therapeutic approaches

Strategies you will learn in this course:

• Identifying Negative Automatic Thoughts and biased thinking

• Challenging and rewriting negative thoughts

• Using graded exposure and behavioural experiments

• What to do if you feel stuck

• And lots more!

In addition to the video lectures and examples, you will receive a complete set of workbooks to use for each step of the process. Therefore, whether you are working through personal issues or helping a client work through their social anxiety, you will have all the tools you need to get started.
