Poor Impulse-Control is an “appetitive problem” which we typically know creates problems but which we frequently feel unable to stop doing., This difficulty underlies a range of problems such as: unhealthy eating, temper loss, compulsive shopping, gambling, substance use and shop lifting, to name a small selection. There are motivational issues that need addressing before the use of CBT proper. Trigger management (from environmental to emotional) is outlined, the adaption of exposure techniques and skills drawn from both ACT and DBT are utilised in an effective treatment programme. Case study illustration is used throughout. Finally a Relapse Prevention protocol is outlined.

These common problems frequently create distress and substantially interfere with functioning for sufferers even though they are not diagnostic problems typically leading to referral to mental health services.

Integrated CBT is an evidence-based approach to tackling problems that addresses process as well as content issues in therapy. It includes 2nd and 3rd wave CBT ideas as well as evidence based “tips” from other therapeutic approaches, such as MI, SFT, REBT and others, specifically to address process issues such as motivation and communication difficulties.

We've decided to combine the power of integrated CBT with deeper understanding of non-diagnostic life challenges and this resulted in creation of this Certificate Course.

This Certificate is a series of bite-sized trainings (with the exception of the 2-day detailed training on procrastination) that will guide delegates through cohesive evidence based treatment plans or self-help programmes.
