“Cutting-Edge Innovations In Treating Depression”

 

Are you confused by the contradictory messages
promoted about depression?

Do you want to learn concrete ideas that can immediately
make an impact with your clients?

Ready to take effective action in
treating depression today?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that more and more research is coming out every month that shows how changes in everyday activities – such as beginning a regular exercise program, learning coping strategies, and expanding social connections- can have a dramatic positive impact of depression. Neither is it an exaggeration to say that more and more people are beginning to become aware that drugs are not always – some might say never – the best treatment for depression. Likewise, research shows that “traditional” approaches such as psychotherapy are just as effective – often much more effective – than drugs. And without the harmful side effects that drugs can have.

Are you aware of the psychotherapy research and techniques? Are you using them to empower yourself, your clients and your loved one’s?

“We invite you to take charge and empower yourself in this critical clinical area.”

Dear Clinician,

We are currently in the midst of a massive change in the way that science and our culture views, understands and treats depression. Paradigms are not shifting – they are being shattered. Thoughts are changing. Traditional medical models are under siege everywhere. And drug companies are on the defensive. Not a moment too soon!

However, not everyone is aware of the full extent of the changes. And few know how to best capitalize on them for the benefit their patients and colleagues, their friends and relatives and themselves. Don’t be one of those people!

In this groundbreaking online conference, you can get the information that you need to empower yourself and others and make a positive impact on the world – while accelerating your practice.

We have gathered together 3 of the foremost experts on depression and its treatment and asked them to give us not only their “opinions” but also reviews of what the research REALLY tells us about depression and what WORKS for it’s treatment.

And Some Free Bonuses – Just for Enrolling

All of us in this in this conference – including the panel discussion moderator – are in, or have been in, private practice. We know how important it is for you to maximize your training and continuing education dollars. For this reason, we have added 3 free bonuses sessions so you can maximize your learning and budget. Each bonus presentation is a power-packed audio presentation from each of our three presenters:

Michael Yapko: Depression is Contagious! How Our Relationships Can Serve as the Cause of or the Solution to Overcoming Depression (30 minute audio presentation).

Based on his popular self-help book called Depression Is Contagious: How the Most Common Mood Disorder Is Spreading Around the World and How to Stop It, clinical psychologist Michael offers a sensible approach to managing depression based on the latest research that shows us that depression is more of a social problem than a medical illness. Indeed, he argues convincingly that by treating a social condition as though a disease, the problems will spread rather than diminish, an unfortunate trend already underway. In this presentation, Dr. Yapko provides highly practical advice that will help participants consider developing the skills and insights they’ll need to forge stronger and healthier social connections as well as overcome depression in the process.

Bill O’Hanlon: Persuasion in Changework: Why do marketers seem to better at getting people to do things than therapists and coaches? (40 minute audio presentation)

Perhaps because they use the non-rational decision pathways already operating inside people. In this presentation you will learn three critical principles of persuasion deriving from the latest research: social following, contextual priming, loss avoidance. And discover how you can use them to make your work much more effective. Applications for changework, therapy and coaching are discussed.

Rob McNeilly: Creating Connections in Hypnosis: Advanced Simplicity, Simplifying Complexities (28 minute audio presentation)

Hypnosis as a treatment modality is often associated with power over people to control them, but this trivializes the empowering aspect of certain hypnotic approaches such as those of Milton Erickson. Rather than opting for some simplistic routine, we can explore ways of connecting clients in their own complexities with their own resources and simply create their own unique solutions.

In this practical talk, Rob shares his translation of what he learned from Erickson, and shows you simple ways of inviting your clients into an experience of their own resourcefulness and ability to change.
