CBT Canada is pleased to offer a CME cruise from Saturday, December 21, 2024 to Saturday, January 4, 2025 (14 nights) aboard the spectacular m/s Paul Gauguin. Join us for a "bucket list" trip in the romantic South Pacific. You’ll be completely enchanted as we explore three major island groups in exotic French Polynesia, including the Societies (Tahiti, Mo'orea, Bora Bora, historic Huahine, and ultra-exclusive Taha'a), the remote Marquesas (Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, and Nuku Hiva) and the Tuamotus (Fakarava Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve). But be smart & pack some extra shorts & tank-tops, because you may never, ever want to return home! The CME is two of our most popular three-credits-per-hour modules: SpicyPsychUpdate (reviewing dozens of cutting-edge general interest psychology papers), and Happiness Science (very à propos in French Polynesia). Join us exploring paradise and you'll gain a marvellous set of tips that can be life-changing for your patients & colleagues, family & friends—and the ongoing project called "you".

CBT is by far the most evidence-based non-pharmacologic approach to anxiety, and important components can be effortlessly integrated into normal primary care appointments. This highly-practical, three-credits-per-hour CME works through family practice case studies of excessive worry, generalized anxiety disorder and common contemporary fears. The focus is on cognitive & behavioral techniques that take ten minutes or less. Participants are encouraged to discuss real-life cases. Our ~25 discussion topics will include psychodynamic "fixing", the risk-resources ratio, the looming vulnerability model, the intolerance of uncertainty, the inflated sense of responsibility, procrastination, assertiveness training, and "clutter studies". Note: Many of the non-pharmacological tools taught in this CBT Canada workshop are very important to the resilience of physicians, and can be passed along to children and other family members—all while fully respecting their boundaries.

There are many tools (besides exhausting empathy injections) you can use to keep the doctor-patient relationship far from the Zone of Peril. In the 3.0 hour, 9.0 Mainpro+ credit Bedside Manners 2.0, we review twenty-six (26) such tools. Topics covered include the art, science and legalities of apologies; collaboration signifiers; emotional investment expressions; existential connectors (e.g., meaning, isolation, death); expectation management; the universal need for "fairness"; fiduciary role reminders; goal (re)negotiations; humour (honk, honk); jolting studies on physician punctuality; Gable's "response style" matrix; "transference 2.0"; validation (as in borderline personality disorder) ... and sixteen additional rapport-building tools. Doctors who keep their "alliance-o-meter" readings high—without reflexively resorting to draining empathy dosing—enjoy better clinical outcomes—and fewer fears of complaints—and better personal (and familial) well-being.

This practical workshop begins with a review of the science of personality assessment. We examine the most popular inventories, doing a fair bit of debunking along the way. The core of the workshop is the systematic review of DSM-5’s ten personality disorders: the insensitively-named "MAD" (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal), "BAD" (antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic), and "SAD" (avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive) "clusters". As we review each of the ten personality disorders, our emphases are on 1) rapid diagnosis (when possible); 2) modular treatments (when desired), and 3) clinician coping (always). Personalities and their disorders are by definition enduring and predictable. When you improve your skills in reading others, you give yourself a little "superpower". That superpower will make both your clinical practice and your life in general a fair bit easier.

Loneliness is "the new smoking". When chronic, it erodes both emotional and physical health. Our society's loneliness epidemic leads many patients to (mis)use your office as their primary source of social support. Your burden can be very heavy. Today's cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) provides patients with much more than the typical advice of “join a club”. Upon completing the The Relationship Tune-Up, you’ll have dozens of practical tools to help you improve their relations with friends, colleagues, and loved ones. Major topics include "ten-minute couples counseling"; helping patients (and others) overcome social anxiety; and the fascinating issue of adult sibling relations. Special topics include the scientific determinants of friendship; the trap of co-rumination; research on "emotional contagion"; "friendshifts"; the complex (and embarrassing) emotion of hurt; the portfolio analysis tool; relations with individuals with antisocial personality disorder (AsPD); the horror of ostracism; and the compelling research on the timing of residential moves on children.

As Aristotle wrote, "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence." Although the pursuit of happiness has long been considered an art, today it is also guided by a substantial science. In this three-hour workshop, we'll review the most significant findings from the field of positive psychology. Topics include awe, career decisions, experiences, fun, gratitude, humour, income, mind-expanding drugs, optimism, pets, play, resilience, savouring, self actualization, and shinrin-yoku.

Physicians trained in CBT derive significant professional satisfaction from treating panic disorder and the phobias. Most patients respond relatively quickly, and relapse rates are reassuringly low. We'll review CBT for panic, and explore how the cognitive model can be applied to such "Recursive disorders" as cognitive decline-related anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine headaches, perimenopausal symptoms, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. In our review of phobias, we'll examine the subtleties of systematic desensitization. Other anxiety disorder sufferers can at least be comforted by family physicians without specialized training. We cover CBT's most practical pointers for the following set of conditions: OCD-related avoidance, PTSD-related avoidance, public speaking anxiety, selective mutism, separation anxiety, social anxiety, and test anxiety.

We'll begin with a review of debriefing (i.e., interventions designed to prevent PTSD after a trauma), including insights from head instructor, Greg Dubord, MD, and his work with the Canadian government's National Roundtable in Ottawa. We'll then review a shortcut to the diagnosis of PTSD, proceeding from there to the details of (and controversies pertaining to) the fuller diagnostic criteria. The core of the workshop is treatment interventions for the four major criteria. Special topics include the curious case of EMDR, “emotional baggage” (i.e., old traumata), the eye-opening forgiveness research, so-called "hindsight bias", the Oprah-esque "imaginal rescripting", the Faustian bargain of children who survived ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), and what data we have on medical marijuana. We end with the uplifting literature on post-traumatic growth.

Please join your colleagues to acquire the tools of “CBT for Depression, Version 2025”, an approach that is very different—and very much more effective—than Beck's original package. As always, we assume your appointments are brief, averaging only ten minutes. With that in mind, we teach the tools that are highest in impact and practicality. Topics in the module include: identifying and managing empathy addictions; antidepressant alexithymia; depressogenic belief identification; therapeutic persuasion and the "physics" of CBT; goalification, scaling, and I/O charts; strategic behavioral antidepressant prescriptions; cultivating learned hopefulness / rational reasons for optimism; combating rumination spirals; breaking through reductionistic stagnation; enhancing motivation with the CUE question; letting go of the past—and unrelentingly focusing on the future; willpower enhancement.

Losses happen. Historically, it was the wisdom traditions—religion and philosophy—that provided us with comfort. Today psychology helps too: the utterly universal experience of loss has spawned much excellent scientific research.

Topics include differentiating between MDD and grief, the CBT model (and techniques), the sunk-cost effect, forgiveness, DSM-5-TR's new Prolonged Grief Disorder, and thanatophobia.

The workshop assumes your appointments are brief, averaging only 5–7 minutes. With that in mind, we teach the CBT tools that are highest in impact and practicality. The goal is to efficiently help patients cope—at least a little better—with the pain of some of life’s inevitable losses.
