HME B05 - Anxiety Topics

Course Description

This live webinar draws on the latest research for the neurobiological basis of anxiety to explain why psychotherapy is so effective. Techniques that are useful in all age groups to stop rumination, eliminate panic and prepare people to participate in social environments without distress are demonstrated. Among the 10 Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques are methods that manage the physiological aspects of anxiety: stress, the dread and agitation of generalized anxiety, panic attacks, nervous system-based blushing, sweating and shaking. Apply tools such as “Contain Your Worry” and “Erase the Trace” (of rumination) to eliminate the distressing cognitive features of anxiety, such as rumination, catastrophic thinking, and cognitive errors. Learn to identify and correct for the typical issues of procrastination and perfectionism when caused by generalized anxiety disorder. Apply the neuroscience of memory reconsolidation as it affects and directs both desensitizing panic cues and the creation of effective social anxiety exposures.
