 Why do this Course?

Approximately 20% of us will experience at least one panic attack at some point in our lives.  Unfortunately, some will go on to develop ‘panic disorder’ - a diagnostic term used when a person is experiencing recurring panic attacks, ‘out of the blue’, and living in fear of them. Panic attacks, while so often part of a bigger picture, can become, in themselves, terrifying and extremely debilitating. Left untreated, they can; contribute to, prolong, and even worsen other problems and conditions.
 
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is widely acknowledged to be the psychological ‘treatment of choice’ for treating panic attacks and panic disorder. While NICE1 guidelines recommend that such CBT treatments be delivered by ’trained and supervised people, closely adhering to empirically grounded treatment protocols’, research is showing that ‘non-cbt’ psychotherapists, who are trained and supervised in a CBT protocol - specifically for panic disorder - can also produce good outcomes with this client group. The benefits of this are obvious – effective treatments, delivered to a high standard and accessible to more people more promptly.
 
This one-day workshop provides health professionals and psychotherapists with a  structured, and easy-to-use, protocol that is suitable to use with patients/clients who present with panic attacks and panic disorder with/out agoraphobia.
 
(follow-up training and supervision may be provided on request)
            

 What will I get from this course?

By the end of this one-day workshop, participants will;
  • Know the criteria for diagnosing; a panic attack, panic disorder and agoraphobia
  • Have a good understanding of the various physical and psychological conditions to check for, when working with a presentation of panic attacks
  • Be practiced in having a structured conversation, and developing a ‘case formulation’, using a cognitive behavioural protocol.
  • Be confident in presenting this case formulation to the client/patient, as a way to understand THEIR panic attacks
  • Know how best to present the brief treatment plan to the client/patient (either as a stand-alone treatment, or as a specific protocol-driven treatment integrated into their broader therapy programme)
  • be practiced in cognitive re-structuring techniques, as a means to challenge the client’s faulty beliefs about his/her anxiety symptoms
  • be practiced in applying simple but powerful ‘behavioural experiments’ that further help to challenge the client’s faulty (and unhelpful) beliefs about his/her anxiety symptoms
  • Leave with a take-away pack, containing useful information and resources to support both them and  their clients/patients, throughout the treatment process.
  • have explored how this treatment can be modified to best suit children/teenage clients.

 Who Should Attend?

​This workshop is influenced by the amazing work being done in the UK on ‘Improving access to psychological therapies’(IAPT).  Extensive clinical studies have shown that ‘low intensity’ cognitive behavioural interventions can be delivered, safely and competently, by psychotherapists from different theoretical backgrounds - as well as other healthcare practitioners (GPs, practice nurses, social workers…) if they receive appropriate training.
 
If you work regularly with clients/patients who struggle with mild-moderate depression and/or anxiety – then this course will add tremendously to your skills and your confidence in working with this group.  Prior introductory training in CBT, will of course be beneficial, but no previous such training is necessary.
If you want a true learning experience that fully equips you to deliver a proven treatment intervention, with confidence and expertise – then this is the course for you!
