PRACTICAL CBT Newsletter
by Professor Patrick McGhee, FRSA, BPS, BABCP
Dear ,
I hope our new newsletter finds you well. Spring seems to be just around the corner as winter recedes. At this time of the year I personally look forward to the clocks going forward which marks a turning point in the year. Clients, too, often seem ready to embrace a new beginning - or at least a fresh look at change. Maybe it's a mistake to make annual resolutions on 1 January in the heart of the darkness of winter? Perhaps we should have Spring rather than New Year Resolutions - what will we do to renew ourselves this year?
This week we have Deadly Sins, 1-Hour workshops, Spiderman, Couples, Narcissism, Journaling, the BABCP Reflective Statement for CPD and the weekly discount code.

CLIENT RESOURCE OF THE WEEK
59 Journaling Ideas: What to Write About in a Daily Journal
I am more positive about journaling as a technique than I used to be. But one size does not fit all. Here is an excellent list of practical tips to help clients (and therapists?) get the most out of a journal.

Watching Spiderman film clips can reduce your fear of spiders. No, I am not making that up...
