Cognitive Deletion Training

Course overview

Course Overview: Cognitive Deletion Training (CDT) is an advanced intervention designed to help therapists teach clients how to disengage from and reduce the impact of intrusive and maladaptive thoughts. This course provides a structured approach to understanding the neurological basis of cognitive deletion, mastering practical CDT techniques, and integrating them into evidence-based therapeutic models like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions. Therapists will gain hands-on experience with CDT applications, ethical considerations, and strategies for long-term cognitive resilience, ensuring clients develop healthier thought management skills. Course Objectives: At the end of the course, you will learn to: explain CDT, its theoretical basis, and how it differs from traditional cognitive restructuring; utilize evidence-based methods to help clients disengage from intrusive and maladaptive thoughts; incorporate CDT within CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions; navigate potential risks, ethical concerns, and trauma-informed applications of CDT, and equip clients with self-directed CDT strategies for sustained emotional regulation and mental flexibility.
