Description:
When people are depressed, they often deny having any strengths or positive areas of enjoyment in their life. This workshop demonstrates how to help depressed clients become more aware of their own strengths so these can be incorporated into CBT treatment. Participants are guided through exercises that help clients notice and capture small positive experiences, even when depressed.
