Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness are two methods on the cutting-edge of evidence-based
psychotherapy today. Together these techniques are highly-eective in the treatment of anxiety and depressive
disorders. Even disorders found to be often resistant to treatment, such as substance abuse and personality
disorders, are responding to this unique integration of therapeutic skills.

With the advent of MRI, researchers
have been able to see structural changes in the brain as a result of Mindfulness practice. Other research has
demonstrated how combining CBT and Mindfulness signicantly reduces relapses.

By watching this seminar recording you will learn not only the basic techniques in CBT and Mindfulness, but also
the application of more advanced methods. This approach is designed both to inform those who are new to this
eld as well as to provide more advanced clinical options to those already familiar with the basics.

The seminar
will include PowerPoint slides, case examples and experiential learning.
