Second Series of Videos

We are pleased to announce a second set of CCI demonstration videos. These will be released gradually over the course of 2021.

• Explaining Safety Behaviours & Why We Drop Them - In this video, we explain to a client how safety behaviours can keep their anxiety going. We also provide a rationale for why it is important to drop these safety behaviours in order to break the cycle of anxiety.
• Introducing the Thought-Feeling Connection - In this video, we illustrate how a therapist can explain the thought-feeling connection to a client. This discussion is often a part of introducing the client to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and its treatment targets.

• Behavioural Activation Part II - This video is the second of a three-part series on Behavioural Activation. Following on from Part I which introduces weekly activity monitoring as a homework task, Part II illustrates a way of reviewing the weekly activity monitoring with a client.

After introducing (Part I) and reviewing (Part II) weekly activity monitoring, Part III introduces behavioural activation to the client. We demonstrate some ways of working collaboratively with the client to identify behavioural activation tasks for homework, and also discuss the "Action before motivation" principle. 
• Developing a Behavioural Experiment - In this video, we illustrate an example of a therapist and client collaboratively developing a behavioural experiment aimed at testing negative predictions about a situation.
