TEAM-CBT: A New Approach to All Modalities of Therapy
Date: Wednesday, January 13th from 6:00-7:30pm
Zoom login information will be emailed to you once you register.
Presented by: Dan Linehan
TEAM-CBT was created by psychiatrist and best-selling author David Burns and is not a school of therapy, but rather a way of doing all of forms psychotherapy. TEAM-CBT uses over 10 different modalities including CBT, Exposure, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, DBT, REBT, Solution-Focused and Motivational Interviewing. TEAM stands for T(testing) E(empathy) A(assessment of resistance) and M(methods) and is very systematic in covering all issues relating to Mood issues such as depression and anxiety, Habits & Addictions, and Interpersonal issues. TEAM-CBT's approach is aimed at melting away client's resistance with a technique called "Positive Reframing" in which the therapist becomes the client's subconscious resistance and brings this resistance into conscious awareness. This allows the therapist to easily get past the "yeah, but" responses clients often give even when they are consciously willing to change.
