Your 10-week journey

Ten weekly group sessions, each building on the last. Tap a week to see what we cover.

Week 1Why do the work?

Introduction to the course. What are the challenges in your life, and why do they matter? Values-driven behavior change, the costs and benefits of changing, and how we measure change.

Week 2The Cognitive Behavioral Model

Learn the CBT model of emotion and why it’s the key to understanding our problems. Practice mindful awareness of the three components of emotion and begin seeing the movement toward a better you.

Week 3The Art and the Science of CBT

Core CBT principles. Set meaningful, realistic goals, identify ways to track progress, and practice applying the CBT model in your life.

Week 4Deepen your understanding and clarify your values

Learn about schemas (core beliefs, assumptions and rules) and how early learning shaped the meaning we give to events and how repeating patterns of behavior develop.

Week 5Courtroom of the Mind

Learn the core CBT skill of examining the evidence. Step back and examine “hot” thoughts to reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of unhelpful emotions.

Week 6Behavior Experiments

Evaluate thoughts and predictions by testing alternative actions, and experience how changing behavior changes our thoughts, feelings and schemas.

Week 7Thinking Traps

When the mind takes shortcuts, we end up suffering. Study the ways our mind plays tricks on us so we can spot them in everyday life, and practice with your peers.

Week 8Thought Records 101

Pull it all together with this foundational CBT skill. Pair up and practice catching, checking and changing thoughts and actions to develop a new relationship with your thoughts.

Week 9When a thought is true: what now?

Not every emotionally charged thought is distorted. Learn to cope better through problem solving, modifying thoughts and acceptance-based strategies.

Week 10Future Directions

Review your goals, celebrate new skills and changes, and get an introduction to CBT Level 2. Take inventory of what you’ve learned and consider your next steps.
