Description: An unscripted, clinically rich look at how cognitive therapy unfolds in supervision, role play, and live consultation. Participants watch how alliance, guided discovery, and case conceptualization are used with complex presentations involving trauma, personality dynamics, weight loss, and intense mood shifts. The session reveals how structure and warmth work together in real practice, offering practical insight into therapist thinking, flexibility, and what to do when sessions feel stuck or emotionally charged.
