Imagery Enhanced CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder

Imagery-Based CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder Training Workshop

Social anxiety disorder is one of the most common and debilitating anxiety disorders, and CBT is the treatment of choice.  Imagery has also been proposed to be a modality of intervention that can increase the emotional impact of CBT.  With this in mind, CCI has developed an Imagery-Enhanced CBT for social anxiety, and has demonstrated the increased effectiveness of this program compared to more traditional ‘verbal’ modes of CBT delivery.  This practical 2-day workshop will provide participants with:

• A clear CBT formulation and treatment plan for social anxiety disorder
• An understanding of how to enhance the impact of each treatment component via the use of imagery in CBT
• The opportunity to observe and practice treatment strategies such as: restructuring negative social images, behavioural experiments to test negative social images, identifying and reducing safety behaviours, novel techniques for correcting negative self-perceptions (e.g. video-feedback), “shame attacking” exercises, attention training, coping imagery, imagery rescripting and positive imagery
