What is CBT?
CBT זה ראשי תיבות של ‘טיפול התנהגותי -מחשבתי, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) וזו אחת משיטות הטיפול היחידות בפסיכולוגיה שממש הוכחה מחקרית. במהלך הסדנה נלמד לתפוס ולזהות את המחשבות שנמצאות בבסיס כל רגש אנושי. זה לא קל, כי חלק מהמחשבות האלו כל כך מהירות שאי אפשר לזהות אותן לבד.
But as soon as we succeed, we will discover that these thoughts are often wrong, and then a normal situation becomes one that creates anxiety (or depression, or despair or any human emotion) in us. Once we have succeeded, we will be able to generate a counter thought that will neutralize that negative emotion from the base. The result can be a significant decrease in anxiety.
What will we do in the workshop?
We will discover some bases of the fear of our audience, we will understand how to neutralize each of them, and then we will check that the neutralization really works
Is there practical practice in the workshop?
of course. Our unique advantage in CBT is that we immediately test each technique in front of a 'real' audience. That way we can know at that moment whether the technique suits us or not.
This means that if we managed to neutralize a technique we know immediately that it works and can run with it. And if we didn't succeed, we can correct the technique on the spot to achieve the desired result.
How does the workshop fit into public speaking courses?
It is highly recommended to combine them. It is possible to do the workshop before the course, after the course or without connection to the course at all, but it is highly recommended to combine it with the course. The reason is that the techniques we teach in the workshop require practice, and the best place to practice them is the course.
In the course we can also check each time whether the results are improving according to the plan, and thus it is possible to correct the route each time.
The theory can also be studied in the framework The online workshop for audience anxiety that we offer (free for those who register for the workshop)
