Description

Anxiety may be everywhere, but even within our field, we seem to know little about how it operates and is maintained. Without information and interventions that target the underlying patterns that fuel it, anxiety spirals, and the cycle not only continues within, but between people. This session offers concrete strategies to help clients recognize, interrupt, and prevent the cognitive, generational, and social habits of our everyday lives that create anxiety, keep it going, and often lead to depression. You’ll discover how to:

  • The most common—and often missed—patterns of anxiety in clients of all ages
  • Active interventions with clients that build skills to interrupt anxiety’s patterns
  • Normalize worry and anxiety and remove families from a crisis-based and pathologized approaches to uncertainty
  • Use a family/social support frame that defuses anxiety and depression’s demand for avoidance and disconnection
