Webinar Description

We can be incredibly mired in old, overused and over-rehearsed ways of being that include negative thinking, unhelpful behaviours and unbalanced images of ourselves. With practice and rehearsal, we can construct adaptive and positive ways of being and rehearse them to increase our sense of joy and flourish.  Join this CBT Lunch and Learn to explore this for yourself and those with whom you work.

Webinar Description

Perfectionism is insidious and creeps into our lives, robbing us of contentment, ease and balance.  It drives us to strive for impossible standards which leaves us feeling exhausted and frustrated. In this CBT Lunch and Learn we will discuss opening up to our imperfections and accepting and embracing our humanity… we may also challenge ourselves to leave some dirty dishes in the sink.

Webinar Description

Sometimes we think that thinking something over and over and over and over and over will help us to accomplish a goal or solve a problem when, in actuality, it often leads us to feeling worn out and stuck. In this CBT Lunch and Learn we will explore what drives unhelpful rumination and how we can move out of it in active and concrete ways.

Webinar Description

Sometimes certain behaviours we use help us to achieve a certain feeling or relieve another feeling even though the behaviour itself is not entirely helpful or healthy. We can use elements of CBT to observe our behaviours and work towards healthier, longer lasting coping strategies.
