In a day filled with experiential techniques and discussion, you will learn 10 methods that you can immediately apply to diminish symptoms in clients suffering from depression. The workshop will highlight aspects of brain function that underlie depression, and focus on treatment methods that will counteract depressive symptoms. The pragmatic focus of this seminar will be on exploring psychotherapy methods that can improve the physiology, cognition, and behaviour of depressed clients.
You will learn
• About practical methods to enhance motivation and mobilize the client with lethargy and low sense of reward
• How to change the negative cognitions, with attention to changing the impact of the brain's neural networking on negative memories
• Techniques to build the brain circuitry for joy and positive emotions
• How to stop the damage of chronic stress (a major cause of depression!) and end the isolation of workaholism and burnout
• Interventions to stop the plunge to despair common to the depression of trauma survivors and how to interrupt self-destructive coping styles
• How to reset the default mode of the hopeless/helpless pessimistic style of depressed thinking so familiar to those who have suffered depression for much of their lives
