Trainees Resources
Training to become a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist or Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner can be stressful and draining. I hope the resources on this page help a little.
Many training courses use the Cognitive Therapy Scale - Revised (CTS-R) in order to rate recordings of a trainee's therapy sessions.
Cognitive Therapy Scale - Revised (CTS-R)
Cognitive Therapy Scale Feedback Form (Word)
And don't forget some light relief....Cognitive Therapy Training Stress Disorder
These documents might be useful in helping you go someway* towards meeting the minimum CTS-R criteria when trying to get a decent enough session recording for submission
-
Session Notes - helps to keep to session structure
Consider using the Problems pages to help guide your clients between your sessions, and the self help mp3 downloads to reinforce therapy or self help.
