Description
This course was created with the help ofArtificial Intelligence and cutting-edge psychological research toolsto solve a major problem in mental health education: CBT is powerful, but most courses make it painfully slow to access the techniques that actually change lives.

Did you know thatover 280 million people worldwide suffer from depressionand more than300 million live with anxiety disorders(World Health Organization, 2023)? Mental health struggles are not rare, they’re the defining challenge of our century. And yet, the most effective solution,Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), often gets buried under hours of jargon-heavy lectures or textbooks that leave practitioners overwhelmed.

That’s why we created this course with the assistance ofArtificial Intelligence and cutting-edge research tools—to bring you30 of the most powerful CBT techniques, delivered in justtwo hours.

Aaron Beck,the founder of CBT, once said:“The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.”Science continues to back this truth. Ameta-analysis published in JAMA Psychiatryfound that CBT is as effective as medication for depression and anxiety, with relapse rates40% lowerwhen CBT techniques are practiced regularly.

So why do most learners struggle? Because the majority of CBT courses are10–20 hours long, drowning students in theory while skipping the actual techniques. Practitioners don’t need to memorize the history, they need tools they can use with clients tomorrow morning. This course is going to solve this struggle of yours.
