POP UP CBT TIMELINE

POP UP CBT TOURS

We left Huntington Beach, California on June 29, 2019 for our cross-country tour. We conducted Pop Up CBT events as well as some meet and greets in Burnsville (Minnesota), Cape Cod (Massachusetts), Providence (Rhode Island), Ottawa and Toronto (Canada), Traverse City (Michigan), Marshalltown (Iowa), Des Moines (Iowa), and Lincoln (Nebraska). Our tour ended back in Huntington Beach, California on August 18, 2019 after 7,770 miles.

For much of 2020-2022, due to the worldwide pandemic, we were either on lockdown or had limited access to safely travel. So, Padesky used this time to work on two books and conduct lots of POP UP type CBT Zoom events,

Padesky and Mooney take the Dialogues for Discovery book on a 21 day road trip through parts of Central and Northern California. Dialogues for Discovery is edited by Christine A, Padesky and Helen Kennerley, Oxford University Press 2023. To keep our titles a bit shorter, we refer to the book as Dialogues 4 Discovery or D4D.

Our 2024 May-June Pop Up CBT ROAD TRIP begins May 1 and travels from the West Coast to the East Coast and back covering approximately 7,400 miles. The focus is on discovery and boosting skills. These small group meetings will include interactive discussions and clinical demonstrations that marry structure with a collaborative, client-centered, strengths-based therapy approach.

Topic: "Navigate Common Clinical Traps: Socratic Dialogue Demonstration"
Do you sometimes struggle with common clinical traps such as clients looking to the therapist for answers, not completing between session activities, or having a high intolerance for uncertainty?
Padesky demonstrate how her four-stage model of Socratic Dialogue can help you effectively navigate these types of issues in ways that maximize client learning, elicit curiosity and discovery, and improve client outcomes. Participants learn techniques from her recent book, Dialogues for Discovery: Improving Psychotherapy’s Effectiveness (Padesky & Kennerley, 2023), and are encouraged to bring case examples for discussion and role play demonstrations.

Why Are We Doing This?
After several decades of large group workshops, Padesky and Mooney relish the opportunity to meet with small groups of therapists.
Padesky: I have an affinity for therapists who work outside major urban areas and who do not often have access to training. I look forward to offering more affordable training to therapists and graduate students who cannot travel to attend the large workshops.
We love working together, meeting bright, interesting, dedicated therapists. We both had tired of all the months of advance planning and scheduling our large scale workshops required. We believe we can identify everyday issues, barriers, and challenges that therapists face when providing sophisticated, empirically supported CBT. We want to target those issues in brief, succinct, ready to use formats through our Pop Up CBT offerings.
