    Synopsis
    Chairwork refers to a collection of experiential methods which use chairs, movement, positioning, and dialogue to bring about change. Since its development over one century ago, chairwork has gained a reputation for being one of the most powerful and versatile methods of intervention in psychotherapy. In CBT, chairwork is an effective way to generate heart-level belief change, shift entrenched cognitions, and develop new behavioural skills.

    In this evening workshop, therapists will be introduced to the core principles and processes of chairwork and how they applied within CBT. The workshop will include a live demonstration of chairwork and an opportunity to practice applying chairwork process-skills. Participants will be introduced to a variety of chairwork methods that can be immediately applied into their practice.

    By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

    - Describe the core forms of chairwork
    - Understand when, why, and how to use chairwork in CBT
    - Apply unique process-based skills to effectively facilitate chairwork and role-play
    - Overcome common obstacles when using chairwork
