UNDERSTANDING UNHELPFUL THINKING STYLES AND COPING STRATEGIES WORKSHOP
Overview:
We all experience moments when our thoughts and coping strategies work against us rather than for us. This 2-week workshop is designed to help you recognize and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns (like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, or overgeneralization) and identify coping strategies that may be doing more harm than good. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have practical tools grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to change these patterns and develop healthier ways to manage challenges.
What to expect:
· Learn about common unhelpful thinking styles and how they can affect your mood and behaviour
· Group discussions to explore how these thinking patterns show up in your life
· Discover more effective ways of thinking using CBT techniques to challenge and reframe distorted thoughts
· Identify unhelpful coping strategies such as avoidance or unhealthy habits, and learn healthier alternatives
· Engage in interactive exercises to practice new thought patterns and coping skills
