- practical tools for fast psychoeducation

MATERIALS FOR CLIENTS
One practical situation - one card. Explain to your clients what happens in the brain in anhedonia, bullying, various types of anxiety and multiple other cases. Show your clients what changes after therapy to help them trust you and the process. This is helpful at the beginning of the client's journey and at certain points during the process. All the materials have links to scientific papers. Video example below.
Brain Coping Cards
Supporting courses
1) Short comprehensive courses about the most common clinical situations.
2) We discuss brain processes most relevant to therapy sessions in various therapy modalities and every day life experiences of the clients

"Since I work daily in a clinic using cognitive behaviour and schematherapy, what I was looking for in this course was information to improve my understanding of what happens with trauma and depression.
In particular, what changes can be expected as a result of specific therapeutic interventions. It is very rare that one seminar can provide answers to all questions. But Ekaterina Vinnik succeeded on that.
I am grateful that on many topics, such as rumination, I became more confident in offering my clients certain strategies to decrease this process, and it was easier for me to work with clients, explaining the importance of these actions.
I think this course is unique because it provides information that can be used in the future for a deeper understanding of the processes as well as the psycho education of clients. If you are planning to level up your professional competence, to be aware of the basics of neuroscience in the context of psychotherapy, and to apply an effective scientifically proven approach in psychotherapy, then this course is for you".

"...this knowledge is necessary for practitioners - psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychotherapists who daily analyze the state of those who come to them for help and who contribute operating in a higher professional level, which minimizes mistakes that are extremely undesirable in our work".

- A lot of opportunity to discuss and think. The level of professionalism and the organisation of the course! I feel the greatest respect and gratitude for it! Thank you, I learned - in many ways!
- An accessible presentation of neurobiological information combined with examples of psychotherapeutic practice. Visual materials. Availability to come back to the lectures.
- In addition to very important and interesting webinars, which provided a huge amount of information that I would like to revise, think over and apply in my work, I am very grateful for the materials provided - cards (!!!), articles. There were also very interesting comments and discussions on Facebook.
- Your very style in conducting the webinar and communicating, Ekaterina, is very comfortable and pleasant. It was a great pleasure! I definitely hope to learn more from you in the future.
- This course was an intellectual desert!
- Wonderful visualizations and references to research studies
- Uncluttered slides, the style of the course lecturer, cards, homework (the need to post them and the ability to read other participants' points of views, all very interactive).
