REBT (theory and applications) The aim of this professional application based certificate course of 42 hrs is to gain in-depth understanding of principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy in theory and to get a thorough training in its practical application. Along with the main tenets of REBT, cognitive, emotive and behavioral techniques used in REBT are also covered. It takes a closer look at how REBT perceives and tackles emotional disturbances such as anxiety, anger, depression etc. and other common problem areas such as addictions, marital problems and behavioural problems in children thus aiming to prepare the participants to work with a wide variety of clients. High emphasis is given to identifying self-disturbing patterns of thoughts and beliefs through homework assignments and also practising being in the counselors seat.
Conviction that a particular therapy works comes only when you first personally experience its helping effects on yourself. That is exactly what this workshop offers: personal change through the course of professional gain.
Ways in which this workshop will benefit you
Professionally:
It will give you specific, concrete and structured understanding of the therapy so that you are able to put it to use effectively with yourself and your clients.
Secondly, all the practice mock sessions will be supervised and detailed feedback will be provided
Since, REBT is an active directive therapy in nature; you will also receive that kind of active directive help and training during the course.
By observing the trainer during demonstration sessions, you will gain insight into verbal, non verbal and overall conduction of therapy.
It will also provide you with hands on experience of the various techniques used in REBT, as you would be given homework based on these.
Help in developing overall skills as a counselor
Personally:
REBT will help you deal with your own emotional disturbances that come in the way of dealing with practical problems.
You will gain insight and understanding of how you are contributing to and helping maintain your emotional disturbances
It will empower you to make proactive choices to move towards your goals.
You will be able to keep yourself minimally disturbed, even during difficult times and gain acceptance of situations that are out of your control.
Overall, you will learn how to think, feel and act in a self-helping manner rather than a self-defeating manner.
