Workshop Overview
Role playing techniques can be significantly more powerful and emotionally engaging than traditional paper-and-pencil cognitive therapy techniques like Examine the Evidence.

You will learn and practice methods such as:
Externalization of Resistance, Externalization of Voices, The Double Standard Technique, Four different Feared Fantasy Methods, The Devil’s Advocate Technique and The Forced Empathy Method.
You will have a chance to practice several of these methods using your own thoughts so that you can learn how to bring cognitive therapy methods to life, while doing your own personal healing as well!
