Developing a Behavioural Experiment (CBT Clinical Demonstration)

In this video, we illustrate an example of a therapist and client collaboratively developing a behavioural experiment aimed at testing negative predictions about a situation.
Behavioural Experiments are applicable to a range of presenting problems and issues, and as such, feature across several of the CCI modules (e.g., panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and worry, body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, perfectionism, etc.). You can also find a generic handout about "Behavioural Experiments" here: www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Reso...
We also have a clinician reflection exercise that can be downloaded from our website as a companion to this demonstration video. Engaging in these reflection exercises will help you to maximise your learning, and can help prepare you to use the demonstrated principles in your own work: www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Trai...
