Unlock the Power of Modern Mental Health: Join Our Two-Day Internship on Third-Wave Psychotherapies
Are you a high school student passionate about understanding mental health and psychology? Artemis Hospital is offering a unique two-day offline internship on Third Wave Psychotherapies designed specifically for students in grades 10-12. Dive into the world of psychology with experts, explore therapeutic techniques, and gain hands-on experience through role-play, research, and mock counseling sessions under professional supervision.
What Are Third-Wave Psychotherapies?
Third-wave psychotherapies represent the latest innovations in the treatment of mental health issues. They integrate mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches with traditional behavioral therapies, creating powerful tools for emotional and mental well-being. These therapies are evidence-based and widely used to treat various mental health conditions, from depression to anxiety and beyond. The therapies covered in this internship include:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT focuses on helping individuals regulate their emotions, develop healthy interpersonal relationships, and cope effectively with stress. It’s especially helpful for managing intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT teaches people to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them, helping individuals live in alignment with their values and pursue meaningful goals.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT): Combining mindfulness meditation with traditional CBT, MBCBT helps individuals stay grounded in the present moment and reduces the risk of depression relapse by promoting awareness of negative thought patterns.
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): EFT involves tapping on specific acupuncture points while addressing distressing emotions, promoting emotional balance and relief from anxiety, phobias, and other emotional challenges.
