Feel Better Now ! Cognitive Behavior Therapy Intensive for Psychotherapists and Counselors* w i t h Dr. Pamela Hays July 11 -14, 2013   Participants of the workshop will be eligible for 16 hours of CE credit through the Alaska Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association.

In this engaging, interactive workshop, we will explore positive psychology's most recent findings on happiness, followed by the learning and practice of cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness that build well-being. Set at water's edge, amidst the serene beauty of Halibut Cove, Alaska, experience the healing influence of nature as we learn and practice new ways of thinking, doing, and being with ourselves and with our clients. Learn how to inspire yourself and your clients with the Personal Strengths Inventory; recognize and work around core cultural beliefs; create homework that is challenging, do-able, and fun; and enhance your therapeutic effectiveness with behavioral and thought-change strategies such as Compassion Voice, Attitude of Gratitude, Wise Elder, and the Magic 3-Step Technique for Kids.

Pamela's holistic adaptation of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) incorporates mind, body, spirit, and cultural influences, toward the goal of making CBT more accessible and useful in real life. Workshop activities will include live and video demonstrations, along with opportunities to practice skills in small groups with supportive, helpful feedback. *This workshop is open to professional counselors, social workers, and psychotherapists only.
