This groups purpose will be primarily to enhance the individual CBT sessions with the IOP social worker and will expand on topics that include learning about what CBT is; how to identify unhelpful thinking styles, hot thoughts, and core beliefs; how to demonstrate and make the connection between situations, thoughts, feelings and urges; how to complete automatic thought records (ATRs), and learn about behavioural experiments, exposure, surveys and inhibitory learning.
The CBT Group will run virtually on a weekly basis for an 8-week rotation and will be approx. 90 minutes.
