By Dr Jim Byrne There will be an annual series of three public lectures, in Hebden Bridge Town Hall, as described later on this page. The annual lecture series is now closed for 2011. The same lectures will be on offer next summer, beginning in July or August 2012. ~~~ 1. Manage your anger, reframe your experience, and assert your rights - A public lecture by Dr Jim Byrne - Next available in 2012...
The CENT approach to anger management is informed by the very best ideas and techniques from cognitive psychology, social psychology, Buddhism, Stoicism, Rational and Cognitive Therapy, the Human Givens approach, and others. If you would like a flavour of the kinds of ideas that I will present on the day, please take a look at this video clip:
This lecture provides an opportunity to learn the essential wisdom of the ages on the subjects of anger, rage, aggression, assertion, and how to act constructively in conflict situations. You might want this for your clients (in counselling, therapy, youth work, social work, etc); or for your own personal development. ~~~ Location: Hebden Bridge Town Hall; The Greenwood Room. Directions: How to get here. Format: Public lecture; followed by Q&A session/discussion. Date: Summer 2012 Times: 11.00am - 1.00pm Cost: £39.95 per person. Email jim.byrne@abc-counselling.com to indicate your interest in this lecture. If you want your employer to pay, then please include an email address to which I can send an invoice. (Payment must be completed before the event). ~~~ 2. How to Reduce and Control Your Stress Level
What can we do when the situation is so dire, and we cannot seem to find a way through? Turning to alcohol and drugs will only make matters worse! Escapism is a short-term palliative that does not work. What then is the solution? We must turn to the wisdom of the ages. How have people ever coped with adversity? When the pressure increases, is it possible to increase your coping resources? The answer is yes! And this presentation by Dr Jim Byrne will show you how. Location: The Greenwood Room, Hebden Bridge Town Hall; Directions: How to get here. Format: Public lecture; followed by Q&A session. Date: Summer 2012 Times: 11.00am - 1.00pm Cost: £39.95 per person. Email jim.byrne@abc-counselling.com today to indicate your interest. ~~~ 3. Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT)
Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT) emerged out of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), by integrating it with Transactional Analysis (TA), Attachment theory and moral philosophy. It is a good balance of the present-centredness of CBT and Mindfulness, plus the historical importance of childhood experience expressed in Attachment Theory and Object Relations.

Public Lecture Series
More people than ever are seeking counselling and therapy for problems of anger and rage. Now you can find out a whole
range of strategies that you can use to control your own anger, or you can teach them to others so they can control their
anger.
On top of the move to post-industrial society, we now have to cope with the worst economic crisis since 1929. This meltdown
is placing exceptional pressures upon individuals, families, companies and whole regions of the country. No wonder people
are feeling more stressed.
This lecture will be ideal as a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event for professionals who use systems of counselling
and therapy in their work - including social workers, health care professionals, youth workers, coaches, counsellors, psychotherapists,
and interested individuals.
