Introduction to Self-Meaning Based Therapy® (SMBT)
Join us for a 60-minute live online webinar introducing Self-Meaning Based Therapy® (SMBT) — an integrative, depth-oriented clinical model designed to identify, dismantle, and transform one’s core negative Self-Meaning that unconsciously organizes emotional suffering.
This introductory session is ideal for clinicians, trainees, and helping professionals seeking a structured yet experiential model that moves beyond symptom management toward embodied and lived transformation.
Space is limited to maintain an intimate and interactive learning environment. Registration is required, and a Zoom link will be sent to registered participants prior to the event.
What This Webinar Will Cover:
Theoretical Underpinnings

The core premise of SMBT: how Self-Meaning organizes psychological experience
Developmental and attachment foundations of core negative self-meanings
Psychodynamic, humanistic, sensory, and neuroscientific influences within the model
How self-meaning structures become stabilized and defended over time

Clinical Application

How to identify a client’s core, organizing Self-Meaning
The structured process of dismantling this core Self-Meaning
Case illustration demonstrating the SMBT process

Integration Into Your Practice

How SMBT easily complements and seamlessly integrates with CBT, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and other therapeutic approaches
