What our learners say

This 2-week introductory course on CBT for Pain Management has been an eye-opener for me. As a physio, I frequently encounter patients struggling with chronic pain, and this course has provided me with invaluable insights and practical tools to help them. The video lectures were clear and engaging, and the practical exercises helped me understand how to apply CBT techniques effectively. I feel more confident in my ability to support my patients, and I'm excited to continue my learning with the full intensive program. Highly recommend this course to any physio!"

As an Occupational Therapist, I am always looking for ways to better support my clients dealing with chronic pain. This course on CBT for Pain was incredibly valuable. It provided a good intro to CBT principles, and the readings were directly applicable to my practice. I appreciated the reflective questions and started using a lot of them in my practice. I also have a better understanding of the fear avoidance model and have been using a lot more socratic questioning in my practice. If you are thinking about taking this course, its a no-brainer! You will love it.  I am eagerly looking forward to the full intensive course
