This training is a recorded version of a live training given by Pia Callesen, PhD.
MCT is a transdiagnostic therapy used to treat OCD, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, and PTSD. We are thrilled to be offering one of the first MCT trainings in the US. Having a transdiagnostic therapy like MCT in your toolkit can help your clients with their OCD while also helping them with co-occurring conditions that they may have as well.
Description:
This introductory course on Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) provides clinicians with an immersive and practical foundation in MCT principles and methods and is led by Dr. Pia Callesen, a recognized expert in MCT. Dr. Callesen will introduce the basics of MCT using a variety of case studies and real video sessions featuring authentic clients, giving participants a unique opportunity to observe MCT techniques in action and see firsthand how they facilitate change.
Throughout the course, participants will become well-acquainted with the core principles of MCT, including how to understand and address Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS) and how metacognitive beliefs contribute to psychological distress. Dr. Callesen will guide clinicians in applying key techniques, such as Attention Training Technique (ATT) and Detached Mindfulness, in ways that empower clients to disengage from unproductive rumination and worry.
By the end of this course, clinicians will be equipped with a solid grasp of MCT principles and the confidence to begin integrating MCT techniques into their own therapeutic practice.
