Depression in the real world isn’t textbook. This hands-on webinar focuses on advanced CBT strategies for complex presentations—so you can sharpen formulation, cut through maintenance cycles, and help clients move faster from insight to change.

You’ll learn how to:

• Deepen case formulation when symptoms are sticky or mixed (low mood + anxiety/rumination).
• Refine behavioural activation for clients who “don’t activate” (values-based leverage, micro-exposures).
• Manage Risk
• Target cognitive processes that keep depression looping (rumination, perfectionism, self-criticism) with high-impact techniques.
• Plan for relapse prevention that clients actually use.
