The CBT Career Guide is currently in the Black Friday sale on Amazon. Could be a good Christmas gift? It comes with over 80 downloadables in my presentation style.

If you do buy it or already have, please could I ask you to leave a review? Many thanks 😊

I feel like I’m doing a behavioural experiment today by wearing this Christmas jumper!! I am not a Christmas fanatic. The truth is I am extremely fussy about jumpers so have very few of them. Its texture, size, shape, and especially the neck line (hate that tight feeling!). This jumper ticks all my boxes so I rose above the slight fear of judgement for comfort and warmth today! 😄🥰

P.S. and the Christmassy feeling is strangely adding to the comfort! 😍

DATES FOR LIVE SESSIONS

I realise it is a tricky time to set dates so close to Christmas but thought I would anyway. As previously mentioned, I run sessions no matter how small the group. In fact, I find a small group works really well and provides more opportunity to interact and engage.

I am switching things up a bit in terms of doing the formulation masterclass in the morning this time. I appreciate that evening sessions can be taxing. It is impossible to suit everyone's needs so a bit of variety is always useful.

The session called CBT for health related distress relates to working with long term conditions, persistent physical symptoms and health focused anxiety.

All sessions start at 9.30am. Breaks will vary according to length of session.

On payment you will receive a zoom link for the session and any additional information normally within 24 hours. A certificate of attendance is issued following the session.

CBT FORMULATION MASTERCLASS - 12th December 9.30am - 12.30pm

My turn to do some CPD today and what a great session on neurodiversity and parenting. Hosted by Relationship Scotland who I do a bit of supervision for. I wasn't sure how my attention would hold out for 6 hours but I just kept doodling, which actually works like a fidget toy in terms of grounding my brain and providing some sensory joy of the colours, all of which enable me to listen and focus better.

The presenter was fantastic and the content totally resonated with me both as a therapist, person with ADHD and mother to a child with it. Very validating and nice to talk to others and share experiences. This angle has been missing from training for far too long. Do check out the Neurodiversity Practice.

What an absolutely fabulous session this evening. Another running of the Creative CBT training. There were three others who unfortunately couldn’t make it to the live event but will receive the recording. The participants were amazing and fully emerged into the experiential learning!

I even ran over and they stayed to the end! Thoroughly enjoyed this!
I always have to do some grounding after the adrenaline rush and tonight it was in true creative style - a bit of scribble art - which will be a personal momento of the session 😍

Very excited and honoured to be invited to do a keynote address at the Hertfordshire & Mid Essex NHS Talking Therapies conference 'Showcasing excellence' with a focus on long term conditions & medically unexplained symptoms.

It is next month and I have been updating my presentation which has reignited my passion for this area of work. I am still a member of the LTC Special Interest Group (SIG) which anyone can join. Philip Kinsella (with whom I co-authored the book 'CBT for long term conditions and medically unexplained symptoms: A practical guide) is the Chair of the group.

I thought I would share my brief guide on this subject. There is a much longer version when I do training but the key areas are covered.

FREE GUIDE:https://www.moyacbt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Health-related-anxiety-depression-brief-guide.pdf

I am going to set a date for early next year to run the 4 hour version on this training if there is interest? I normally start at 9.30am and with breaks finish by 2pm.

CREATIVE METHODS IN CBT - WEDNESDAY 12th NOVEMBER 6-8.30PM £52

A little while ago I posted about one of my go to experiential exercises I use in my CBT work. It involves the use of metaphor and some attentional focus techniques to encourage experiential learning.

If you want to know more about this and many other ways of working creatively in CBT practice then join me on the CREATIVE METHODS IN CBT session on Wednesday 12th November at 6-8.30pm. It is an evening session to provide a space to explore and reflect on approaches to your clinical work to maximise learning in sessions and reduce therapist schema that ultimately cause more pressure and stress.

To book just click on the QR code or use this link: https://pay.gocardless.com/BRT000421WGRBGT

On Payment you will receive a zoom link for the session within 24 hours.
