Become the person who actually knows what to do
An interactive workshop for anyone who wants to understand cbt foundation in themselves and the people around them. Bring real situations, ask questions and practise useful ways to respond at home, work and in relevant support roles.
HOW THE MIND WORKS
In CBT, a situation does not directly create one fixed feeling; the meaning we give it influences emotion and what we do next. Avoidance, reassurance-seeking or withdrawal may bring short-term relief while keeping a worry alive. Noticing these patterns can create choices—but it is not the same as providing therapy.
This is guided learning, not a lecture and not therapy.
WHAT YOU WILL DO DIFFERENTLY
This workshop makes the underlying pattern clearer, then gives you guided opportunities to discuss it and practise a more useful response.
You notice the anxiety, the spiral, the avoidance, but cannot identify what is driving it.
Simply relax. Do not overthink it. Advice you recognise does not actually work.
Without real understanding, you can only observe: never genuinely help.
Separate a situation, the thoughts it sparked, the feelings that followed and the action taken.
Recognise how avoidance and repeated reassurance can maintain distress in everyday life.
Practise self-reflection and supportive questions while knowing the limits of non-clinical support.
THE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP JOURNEY
Across eight interactive weekend sessions, participants bring real situations, ask questions and practise guided tools together.
Explore the pattern through everyday examples and participant questions.
Bring real situations to identify triggers, needs and the choices available.
Eight interactive weekend sessions with guided discussion and practice. This is guided learning, not a lecture and not therapy.

CLARIFICATIONS
No. CBT Foundation is open entry. It is designed for teachers, parents, professionals and students alike.
PKR 15,000 for the full workshop — one-time, no hidden costs.
No. It is a interactive workshop that builds genuine understanding and practical skills, not a licence to practise clinically. For those who wish to progress, it is the foundation for the restricted CBT Practitioner track.
Because it is taught inside a working psychiatric hospital: the same content carries considerably more weight when you learn it where real clinical work happens.
