This Course Could Be Your Game Changer

Hey, Overthinker...I'm Talking to You

Ever find yourself going down the rabbit hole analyzing every single word in a conversation? Turning what should be a simple chat into a never-ending spiral of 'what-ifs' and 'should haves'?  I get it, and guess what? This course is literally made for you.

Perfectionists, It's Time to Get Real with Yourself

You know who you are.  Tweaking and tweaking your work, obsessing over the tiniest details, sacrificing your sleep (and sanity) for what? Perfection? Let's cut through that. Our workshop isn't about being perfect, it's about showing up and finding balance. You In?

Procrastinators, Let's Get Moving and get Doing

So, you're the master of 'I'll do it tomorrow,' huh?  Deadlines are more like guidelines, and your to-do list is more like a 'maybe-one-day' list. Exhausting, right? Our course has some real-deal strategies to kick procrastination to the curb. Ready to start doing instead of delaying?

On the Hunt for Self-Belief? Maybe it is Right Here? 

Listen, believing in yourself isn't some mystical trait only a lucky few are born with. It's about building confidence in what you can do, step by step. If you're searching for that belief in yourself, this course is your treasure map. Techniques, insight, real talk, we've got it all covered.

Meet the Facilitators

Renata Fulawka

Registered Psychotherapist

& Co-facilitator

Hi, I'm Renata, a Registered Psychotherapist & Coach dedicated to addressing the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and trauma-triggered experiences. Drawing on my background in meditation and mindfulness, I've seized audaciously bold opportunities, such as a life changing 10-day silent meditation retreat and visits to historically or spiritually grounding places in the world. My focus is on identifying and shifting thought patterns rooted in limiting beliefs or unprocessed life events that now impact our everyday life. Embracing the transformative elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I've made it my primary approach and technique when working with clients. A quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer, "When you change how you look at things, the things you look at change," has been a guiding principle in my life and practice.

I maintain a successful private practice, working with clients both in person and virtually, providing a supportive space for positive transformation and a shift in perspective toward a more fulfilling life.

Sheila Bristow

Registered Psychotherapist

& Co-facilitator 

Hi, I'm Sheila. I am a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in stress, anxiety and trauma.  I have years of meditation experience, completing Meditation Instructor training under the Master teaching of Luangphor Viriyang Sirintharo of Thailand through the Willpower Institute and has participated in a daring opportunity of a 10-day silent meditation retreat.

By identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome and address your obstacles, we will sort through the things that are difficult, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgement.

My primary focus is now working with clients in facilitating positive change, by altering thought patterns, changing non-beneficial belief systems, embracing compassion and reducing the impact of stress in your life. I maintain a successful private practice seeing clients both in person and virtually.

With Sincere Gratitude and Acknowledgements

The 5-session Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with mindfulness (CBTm) class content was developed in partnership by a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and other mental health professionals, as well as with feedback from previous CBTm participants. 

Funding for this work has been supported by a Manitoba Patient Access Network grant (2016-2017); Manitoba Health, Wellness and Recovery; Canadian Institutes of Health Research grant (S-L. Bolton); and a Health Sciences Centre Foundation grant (S-L. Bolton).

The CBTm Hub was established in October 2021 as a provincial collaborative team of facilitators and other professionals from different sites to address the need for increasing access to CBTm. The work of the CBTm Hub has been funded by the Manitoba Government in partnership with Shared Health.

What is CBTm?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Mindfulness (also referred to as CBTm) is a course designed to cultivate mindful awareness of our body, emotions and mind so that we can live our lives with a greater sense of wellbeing, kindness and resilience. 

It has two main intentions: to offer you some skills to meet life’s challenges and difficulties, both internal and external; as well as skills to develop more awareness and appreciation of the pleasant moments in life that we can often overlook. In other words, to respond more skillfully to all of life’s inevitable ups and downs.

**This course is not being offered as a treatment for any specific physical or psychological conditions. Please do not sign up for this training if you are currently experiencing severe mental health challenges. Please reach out to your medical doctor for support and guidance.


Here is what you will learn and develop over our 5-week CBTm workshop series:

CBTm uses a structured approach. For each 90 minute class there will be an outline of contents, a mindfulness exercise, review of material presented in the previous class (including review of last session’s suggested skills practice), introduction of new material and new suggestions for skills practice.
