In The 10 Best Ever Anxiety Management Techniques, Margaret Wehrenberg, Psy.D presents the most useful psychotherapeutic approaches to generalized anxiety, panic and social anxiety. By discussing cases across the lifespan, offering methods to manage anxiety that work in every clinical population, you will come away with the tools you need to help your clients resolve their anxiety symptoms.

Drawing on the latest research for the neurobiological basis of anxiety to explain why psychotherapy is so effective, Dr. Wehrenberg demonstrates comprehensive techniques to stop rumination, eliminate panic and prepare people to participate in social environments without distress.

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, and the nervous system based blushing, sweating and shaking of social anxiety. The information you acquire will allow you to rule out causes of anxiety and physical conditions that mimic anxiety.

You will be able to apply tools to eliminate the distressing cognitive features of anxiety, such as rumination, catastrophic thinking, and cognitive errors with tools such as “Contain Your Worry”, “Worry Well and Only Once” and “Knowing, not Showing Anger”.  You will be able to identify and correct typical issues of procrastination and perfectionism as they appear when caused by generalized anxiety disorder. But also, you will be able to apply the neuroscience of memory reconsolidation as it affects and directs the creation of effective social anxiety exposures and desensitizing panic cues.

Through case examples, description of methods, research that supports the efficacy of treatment, and practicing new methods, this seminar will aid the newer therapist and be informative to the most experienced clinician. This seminar is suited to clinician who deals with anxiety in their patients, and will allow you to improve your management of anxiety in clients of every age and in every clinical population.
