Christian TEAM-CBT Course

I get asked how TEAM can be used in a Christian context when there seems to be some contradictions like looking for positives in hopelessness when the Bible says to have faith. In this course we’ll explore issues such as this and much more.

TEAM can be used in a way that respects and even incorporates a client’s Christian faith. I do this often with my clients. This self-paced course teaches therapists and coaches how to integrate biblical principles and faith-based methods with TEAM-CBT.

Rather than simply adding Bible verses, you will learn how Christian beliefs can support healthy thinking and in turn emotional resilience. And conversely when it gets derailed.

This course explores practical ways to work with depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, resistance, relationships, and other common concerns while respecting each client’s beliefs, values, and spiritual experience.

Through teaching, biblical examples, clinical illustrations, and demonstrations you will learn how to:

• Use Testing, Empathy, Assessment of Resistance, and Methods within a Christian framework
• Identify spiritual beliefs that may contribute to healthy and maybe not so healthy guilt, shame, fear, perfectionism, or resistance
• Draw from biblical stories and principles without becoming preachy or imposing your own theology
• Adapt cognitive and motivational methods for clients who want faith included in their work
• Apply TEAM relationship tools to interpersonal conflict
• Incorporate distinctly faith-based tools when they fit the client and the problem

This approximately 7 hour self-paced course is intended for therapists, counsellors, pastors, chaplains, coaches, and other helping professionals who work with Christian clients. Previous TEAM-CBT experience is helpful but not required. It qualifies for 7 TEAM-CBT Certification Units but does not provide continuing-education hours.
