Course Details

Registration Deadline: December 16, 2024

This four-part course focuses on CBT for anxiety disorders. The course begins with an overview and introduction to three “patients” who are then followed in three additional sections. Each patient highlights a core component of CBT. The first section focuses on cognitive skills, exemplified through a patient struggling with social anxiety disorder. The second section focuses on behavioral interventions such as behavioral and interoceptive exposure for a patient with panic disorder. Finally, joining these skills together, the last section focuses on mindfulness in CBT for generalized anxiety. Throughout each section expert clinicians will demonstrate, via role-plays, the application of these skills through the three “patients”.

Course materials are available beginning on December 2, 2024, and all online course work must be completed by January 16, 2025. New course assignments are released each week, and you can finish the preceding week’s materials at any time to unlock the next week’s materials.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Attendees will be able to describe strategies to identify, label, challenge, and reframe automatic thoughts common in anxiety disorders.  Learn how to help patients decrease unwanted emotions.  The course will use vignettes to demonstrate techniques.
  • Attendees will be able to demonstrate cognitive restructuring skills to facilitate behavioral exposures.
  • Attendees will be able to identify common barriers to practicing cognitive restructuring, and strategies to successfully overcome those barriers.
  • Attendees will identify behavioral techniques to reduce anxiety such as behavioral activation and behavioral change.
  • Attendees will design exposures exercises targeting their patients fears.
  • Attendees will identify avoidance strategies (i.e., safety aids).
  • Attendees will be able to plan formal and informal mindfulness exercises to be used with patients to increase their awareness of internal experiences.
  • Attendees will identify when non-acceptance of internal experiences is interfering with treatment progress and teach patients cognitive and behavioral strategies to increase their acceptance of internal experiences.
  •  Attendees will apply techniques for addressing metacognition in generalized anxiety disorder.
