About this Event
ADHD: CBT skills workshop
This interactive workshop builds on the one-day training ‘CBT for ADHD: considerations and adaptations’ where the nuances of ADHD are described, and suggestions given for how to use CBT to target symptoms. This is based on a series of guides and work sheets that I have produced.
This skills session allows participants to share experiences of applying the interventions described. Even if you have not attended the first session but have experience of using CBT for ADHD this workshop will be appropriate. Opportunity is given to practice skills based on your clinical cases.
Clinical skills practice includes using the following:
The threat-demand formulation
Double vicious cycle
Reducing arousal – increasing downtime
Developing effective organisational skills
Managing distraction
Overcoming procrastination
Managing overwhelming emotions:
- Understanding triggers
- Impulse control
- Expressing needs
- Self-compassion
Methods will include group work, discussion, video, and live skills demonstrations. Full participation will be expected. Time will be allowed for reflection and planning. Although the session will be recorded this will only be available to participants as part of the course materials.
