While procrastination can certainly be thought of as a ‘symptom’ of a broader attentional concern, its relatively common occurrence and complex interplay between behavior, cognition, and emotion demands that we approach it as a distinctive and singular mental health issue. Chronic procrastination goes beyond “laziness” and is often linked to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and distorted thought patterns around self vs. other. Chronic procrastination can begin to compromise function in work, family, and academic domains when a person gets caught in procrastination’s nasty grip – the self-perpetuating cycles of avoidance and failure.
In this three-hour workshop, British Cognitive Behavior expert, professor, and clinician Dr. Windy Dryden will discuss procrastination and offer an attitude-based framework that helps therapists deal with this common client problem. He will also conduct a live demonstration with a volunteer willing to discuss a current personal issue that they wish to resolve concerning procrastination. Dr. Dryden will focus on demonstrating how to accurately assess when (and when not) to use these practical attitude-based strategies conceptualized as an antidote for active client procrastination.

You probably notice that some clients prefer to “go deep” in session more than others. These clients may benefit from a more philosophically engaging approach to therapy. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is just that, and it can be a superb alternative to standard CBT, especially for our more cognitively flexible clients. REBT is considered a foundational approach under the broader umbrella of CBT, carrying many decades of evidence-informed clinical research support for a broad array of conditions. Additionally, REBT is considered highly adaptive across cultures, age groups, and clinical settings, making it a fantastic clinical toolset for clinicians working in all areas of mental health.
In this three-hour workshop, leading British Cognitive Behavior expert, professor, and clinician Dr. Windy Dryden will discuss the distinctive features of REBT theory and practice. In particular, he will provide a modern perspective on REBT’s ABC framework and outline a step-by-step guide for using REBT with clients. In doing the latter, Dr. Dryden will introduce and describe several effective and efficient techniques he has found helpful in his 40+ years of using these techniques successfully with his own clients in practice.

Substance abuse and addiction are notoriously very difficult to treat – so much so that relapse is baked into the healing journey for nearly every client. At the core of this phenomenon is the elevated level of resistance to change that addiction commonly brings to the healing equation with such intense force. Clients must buy into the need for change. They must believe that 1.) they need treatment and 2.) they are capable of success in treatment. Ultimately, successful treatment requires lasting behavior change, and lasting behavior change requires commitment to a proven process. That proven process, as it turns out, sits inside the motivational interviewing style of therapy.
If you have been struggling to know how to engage with clients that are resistant to treatment, present with a lot of ambivalence and seem to get caught in persistent lacking motivation for change, then you are not alone! Come learn the evidence-based skills and practice of motivational interviewing (MI). These strategies can be applied to an array of different client populations and are a great set of skills to add to your overall clinical toolset! You will learn how to engage clients in change and increase their motivation through the use of empathy and motivational interviewing attitudes and language.

Co-parenting with a narcissist presents unique and complex challenges that can significantly impact both the well-being of children and the non-narcissistic, “offended” parent. This clinical webinar will equip therapists with practical tools and insights from Schema Therapy to guide clients through the difficulties of co-parenting in such high-conflict dynamics, whether living with the narcissistic co-parent or from separate homes.
In this course, clinicians will learn how to help clients recognize and respond effectively to narcissistic behaviors, within the co-parenting relationship, while prioritizing personal and family needs, fortifying a stable and sturdy internal advocate, addressing/repairing their children’s experiences, and fostering resilience. The session will cover Schema Therapy concepts like schemas and schema modes as well as offer a rich conceptual framework and a well-formulated treatment plan built with effective strategies designed to help the “offended” parent navigate the challenges of co-parenting with a narcissist. This session will also provide unique tips and strategies for navigating the challenges we face when treating the narcissistic co-parent.
