The landscape in physical rehabilitation settings is changing rapidly as the research continues to identify numerous benefits of integrating psychosocial strategies into treatment. An individual’s beliefs, thoughts, and emotions will influence their physiology, their experience of their symptoms and how they engage in their unique rehabilitation process. Your effectiveness as a practitioner is determined largely by your capacity to intentionally identify and address these factors. However, these are skills that are not taught in most traditional physical rehabilitation programs. This experiential course is designed to address this gap, teaching practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that can be integrated immediately into practice.
This is a live online course and attendance is required on dates/times listed below. You must have access to speakers/web camera/headphones.
After completing this course, participants will be able to: Appreciate the psychological processes influencing recovery in physical rehabilitation settings. Help patients to identify the various components of their experience with distressing symptoms (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviours).
Date/Time: April 17, 18, May 1 & 2, 2021 from 10:00am-2:00pm ET (Toronto) – please convert to your local time zone.
