[Audio] IC11 Pre-Conference 03 – Strategic Treatment of the Anxiety Disorders – Reid Wilson

Description:Description:

We will begin by studying how all anxiety disorders generate an absolute standard for certainty and com-fort, thus manipulating people into worry. You will learn specific skills within the three targets of treat-ment for both worry and GAD: physiological, cognitive, and behavioral. Then we will explore strategies for panic, social anxiety, phobias and OCD, helping clients find the courage and motivation to challenge their old beliefs and attitudes. Cutting-edge treatment now pushes further into the confrontational.  You will learn how to help clients purposely seek out anxiety as their ticket to freedom from crippling fear.We will begin by studying how all anxiety disorders generate an absolute standard for certainty and com-fort, thus manipulating people into worry.
