Under the able
guidance of Principal Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen, Freudian Psychological Society
organised a one day workshop on "Implementing Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy: Practical Strategies for Positive Change". The resource person
was Dr. Radhika Gupta. She was welcomed by Dr. Ashmeen Kaur, Head P.G.
department of Psychology with a planter and a painting. She started the
workshop by telling about anger management techniques using Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy. She told that CBT focuses on changing the automatic negative
thoughts. We should not have negative thought patterns in which we try to
control our emotions instead we should manage our emotions. To manage them we
can use a grounding technique in which we activate our five senses. We should
also focus on our breathing patterns so, that more and more oxygen reaches our
brain. She also highlighted the patterns of over thinking among adolescents.
Our mind focuses on things either from past or on things we can't control. When
we feel helpless we over think. She ended with an interactive question answer
session. Principal Prof. Dr. Ajay Sareen appreciated this initiative and
congratulated the Department of Psychology. Ms. Priyanshu( M voc. sem 2)
conducted the stage and Harsimrat (M voc. sem 2) gave the formal vote of
thanks. On this occasion Ms. Shruti Bidani Mrs. Anjali Nandan and Ms. Nidhi
Sharma also participated in the workshop.
