Cognitive Behavior Therapy of Anxiety Disorders: Principles & Methods
Run time: 2 hrs 20 min
On MP3 audio (SKU: dANX1)

Cognitive theory of anxiety. Five areas of treatment intervention. Role of medication

5 Stars – VALUABLE INFORMATION by Dr. Glenn Gero, DSc: I’ve already listened to several of Dr. Padesky’s programs and they are all great quality and value. It has made my driving time an opportunity for acquiring new techniques that I have been able to implement into my practice.

4 Stars – ANXIETY DISORDERS by Wendy Allonby: I am a trainees CBT Therapist. Whereas I had thought this CD [MP3 audio] was just for GAD, it gives an over view of all anxiety disorders which is helpful primer. I found it particularly helpful listening to this in my car, especially the section on breathing techniques and how important it is to ask the client to demonstrate what they are doing (particularly if they say they’ve tried and it doesn’t work), to instruct accordingly and to practice. I love the way Christine presents material and makes it so accessible and the important message she conveys about valuing clients strengths, guided discovery and collaborative empiricism.
An important point she drives home, is that anxiety needs to be tested ‘in vivo’ i.e. rate anxiety when the person is in the driving seat anticipating a catastrophe as well as in the safety of the office environment. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the series.

3 Stars – GAD by Marian Rigsbee: Helpful but I was really hoping for a much more in-depth lecture on treatment of GAD.

OUR RESPONSE: The program you are referring to (dANX1) is not intended to cover GAD. The only program we have covering GAD is our MP3 audio program titled: Brief Cognitive Therapy for Phobias & Generalized Anxiety Disorder (dANX2).

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
for Social Anxiety:
Assertive Defense of the Self
Run time: 2 hrs 11 min
On MP3 audio (SKU: sanx)

3 common CBT interventions used to treat Social Anxiety. Demo of “Assertive Defense of Self.” Strategies for any level of social anxiety. Follow-up info the Behavioral Experiments.

5 Stars – VERY VALUABLE by S. Hopley: This was an excellent

. Very practical, with clearly defined behaviour experiments that illustrate the use of Assertive Defence of the Self. Within a day of reviewing the CD [program] I was applying what I’d learned with my clients. My clients were receptive to the approach, and have provided very positive feedback about the skills they have learned. I used the approach with a client who is too nervous to go to a job interview. I am also using the approach with people struggling with addictions, since isolation has been a huge problem for them, and re-integrating into society is quite challenging. I’m so glad I made the purchase. I am am currently completing my practium in counselling psychology, the last step towards receiving my master’s degree.

5 Stars – A CLEAR GUIDE TO REDUCING SOCIAL ANXIETY by Ruth Morelli: I was very curious to learn more about Padesky’s concept of “Assertive Defense of the Self.” I was pleased to hear it’s something I already do, but call “taking the voice of the other.” I especially liked her descriptions of behavioral experiments, though buying a camcorder, and setting up an office to watch is is just beyond my price range and skill. I think some of her suggestions are better suited for a large practice, rather than a solo practitioner. I especially liked the role play she and a confederate did since I could hear her escalating when she used the critical voice, something not easily conveyed in a book. She emphasized the importance of setting up a complete hierarchy which was helpful with one of my patients tonight. I realized the reason the patient couldn’t do the homework was probably because we started at too high a Suds rating. I’ve now listened to the set 1 1/2 times, and plan to listen more often. It’s well worth the wait time, and the money. Buy it!

5 Stars – CBT FOR SOCIAL ANXIETY by Stephanie Rudeau: It describes Padesky’s approach to social anxiety in a way that’s clear and interesting, with lots of clinical examples. This was a great find!

5 Stars – THE REAL CORE by Dr. Paul: Behavioral Experiments [on mp3 audio] is a wonderful example of how Padesky puts cutting-edge CBT into clear and specific terms that will enable you to implement tools with your clients (and yourself) right away. If your client is not engaging in experiments – chances are its too much talk (in my opinion) – It’s the type of that you can go back and listen to and get even more nuggets. good for all levels.

5 Stars by Carole Forde Counselling: I’m currently studying (2nd Year) of my CBT diploma course at the Glasgow Cognitive Therapy Centre. I have found the video and audio programs amazing tools to help me study. I work full time as well as studying and drive a lot. I listen to tapes in my car as well as watch the videos. They have been fantastic in clarifying and broadening my understanding of CBT. Padesky has a great way to make you understand the theory as well as practice. It was definitely a worth while buy and investment into my studies and future career. It’s nice to find good material from advocates of CBT that are easy to listen too, understand and help you put the theory into practice that enhances your learning experience.

5 Stars – WORTH EVERY PENNY  by Alison Blencowe: I’m a trainee Clinical Psychologist using CBT with adults for the first time. I found the workshop really clear and the examples incredibly useful. I am one of those early career people described in the workshop overwhelmed by the number of disorder specific models out there, especially since none of my clients seem to fit ‘perfectly’. This workshop freed me from the need to squeeze clients into a specific model inappropriately and decide on which models I want to work with. More than anything, I’ve been struggling to be collaborative when developing conceptualisations with clients but I’ve not known what to do differently to improve this. Clear guidelines are given and then acted out in the worked examples, giving me great ideas on how to make changes to my practice. Similarly, the live role plays also illustrate how to adapt when things don’t go to plan and a detailed conceptualisation can’t yet be achieved. Christine expertly works through this in a way that still helps the client and the therapist start understanding what’s going on for the client without either party becoming stumped or frustrated – which is something else I’ve been struggling with. I’m so pleased I invested in these discs so early on in my career. The only improvement I would suggest is trying to include pictures of the final example conceptualisations completed during the workshop. I’ve made drawings based on what I’ve heard but I felt it would be useful to be able to compare these to what was actually developed in the workshop.

5 Stars – EXCELLENT RESOURCE by Sacha Langley BA /DipSw: I am a trainee CBT therapist and have found listening to the CD [MP3 audio] really useful, it has been very helpful to understand case conceptualisation and how this works as the foundation to any future work with clients. Collaboration and idiosyncratic conceptualisation are also a cornerstone to effective working with clients.

Run time: 3 hrs 30 min
(sku: mccc)

5 Stars – VERY GOOD RESOURCE by MB: I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Therapist in the UK, I would class myself as intermediate in terms of experience. I really enjoyed this seminar- I particularly liked the clever adaptation of the ABC framework into an easy-to-use, basic formulation model that can be used to highlight maintenance traps. I am also very fond of strengths-based approaches having been trained in Narrative Therapy, so I very much appreciated Padesky’s idea of making ‘ability spotting’ part of the formulation!

5 Stars – STEP-BY-STEP MODELby Anna Wejdemann: I’m a trained and specialized psychologist and psychotherapist. I have found the step-by-step model of CCC very useful. It provided me with information about research, at a very useful level. The “presenting problem in a box – arrow in – arrow out” is a very useful model, which is presented in a way, that makes it immediately understandable. And I’m very thrilled about Padeskey’s focus on resilience and strengths in the clients, which is also presented in a very nice way in the program.

5 Stars – VALUABLE INFORMATION by Karen Kerschmann: I listened to Ms. Padesky’s presentation on my way to work; that very day I was able to use the tools! As an intermediate CT therapist, the information was clear, concise, and easy to understand. I highly recommend this recording to enhance your practice if you already have the basic CBT skills in place.

Run time: 41 min
(SKU: dIMAG) 

Summarizes relevant recent research and discusses ways in which therapists can elicit and work with client imagery. Use of positive imagery and kinesthetic experiences.

5 Stars – AN ESSENTIAL TEACHING by Alice Abarbanel PhD: Listening to Christine Padesky (on the Imagery in CBT program) was like a visit from an old friend. I know about the use of imagery, but it is unfortunately all too easy to forget to inquire in the focused way Padesky demonstrates in this audio program. The CD [MP3] presents an overview about imagery, gives pointed reminders, and then in a question-answer format, suggests the use of imagery for a variety of situations. This CD MP3 is applicable for all levels of experience.

2 Stars: RATHER SHORT! by David Mair: I was disappointed with this cd mainly because it was a very short talk followed by q&a from the audience. I was really expecting something much more in-depth, with more clinical examples of using imagery in casework. For me, buying a good book about this topic has been a much better investment.

OUR RESPONSE: We are sorry you were disappointed with the Imagery discussion. Dr. Padesky used questions from experienced therapists to further expand points and to describe, discuss, and delineate the application of imagery in CBT.

I found the information about conceptualisation useful and how standard approaches to CT, agenda setting, when working with BPD have to be reconsidered and adapted.

4 Stars – COGNITIVE THERAPY CD’S [MP3s] by David Sloan, LMHC: I have been practicing Cognitive Therapy with my patients for about a year with the help from the CD’s [now MP3s] and Mind Over Mood. I wanted to attend a school to be trained in this therapy but unfortunately there is no class in a physical building that offers training in South Florida. I was very grateful I found your website and could purchase the trainings. I have found my patients are able to respond to different treatment models with remission in many of the issues they deal with when first entering treatment. I have also found the trainings help me to better understand countertransference so I can provide more balance in my own life. I work with dually diagnosed patients, many with substance dependence. I have also read many of Dr. Becks books and would very much like to see trainings on addiction.

5 Stars – CBT FOR PTSD by Ulrike Klossek: These are excellent training materials. Not that this needs reiterating, but what I particularly love about Dr Padesky’s work is its commitment to being client-centered – regardless of whether the client is an individual seeking therapy, a colleague or a therapist in training. What shines through her work and training materials time and time again is her profound understanding of her audience’s needs that is both analytical and intuitive. She is certainly the best teacher of clinical practice and “how-to’s” therapy skills I have come across.

These audios contain the recording of a workshop presentation on CBT for PTSD focusing on the Ehlers & Clarke model, which includes questions from the audience. The presentation provides a good introduction to the key features of model (focusing on applied/clinically relevant aspects), some very useful background information as well as a wealth of clinical tips and anecdotes.
