“A PENNY FOR YOUR
THOUGHTS”
|
|
A day-long follow-on course to “She’s not going to
hurt you!” The aim of the course is to help participants gain a better
understanding of ‘what makes people tick’ in the dental surgery and in
relation to oral care. In other words the focus will be on the
cognitive (thought driven) aspects of dentistry and dental fear.
The course is only open to individuals who
have attended a “She’s not going to hurt you!” course. This course
should be run approximately 6 months after “She’s not going to hurt
you!” to allow for consolidation of the contents of the initial course.
“A penny for your thoughts” will take the form of a
workshop. Participants must be prepared to participate in group work,
such as brain-storming and in role plays (no one will be humiliated).
Thus numbers will have to be limited to 12.
By the end of the day, participants will be able
to:
-
Describe and give examples of the types of schema and consequent
negative automatic thoughts (NATs) which are linked to dental
anxiety and self-care practices
-
Understand the link between NATs and the behaviour and attitudes of
their patients
-
Participants should
thus be able to help their patients challenge these NATs and see
greater success in treatment.
