AHP Bite Size Learning: Reframing Life's Challenges
Wednesday 11th December 2024
12:00 pm to 1:30 pm
Online
Who should attend:
Open to all Allied Health Professionals and Wellbeing Practitioners
An opportunity to add a new intervention tool or consolidate existing knowledge/skills
Course Aims:
Based on the principles of the Cognitive Behavioural Approach, this session will give you a better understanding of how automatic thoughts can impact negatively on a patient’s behaviour and how to support them in challenging these unhelpful thoughts.
Enabling patients to develop an awareness of their common thinking styles and how this impacts their response to challenging situations can be a valuable tool in many health care settings.
We aim to share some practical theories and strategies for you to share with your patients to empower them to achieve a better quality of life within the context of their diagnosis
Objectives:
-
To be able to describe the key principles of the Cognitive Behavioural Approach
-
To be able to identify 5 common styles of unhelpful thinking and how these influence behaviour
-
To have an understanding of how to enable a patient to put their thoughts “on trial”
-
To be able to support a patient to use a Thought Challenge Diary to facilitate the reframing of difficult situations / decisions
