Description

We will explore a paradigm-shifting approach to managing anxiety, based on the understanding that anxiety is not all in our heads, but also in our bodies. We'll discern the difference between avoidable anxiety and purposeful anxiety, learning how to help our patients eliminate their unnecessary anxiety and allow their purposeful anxiety to guide them toward meaningful action. This is essential for any clinician supporting patients who are struggling with anxiety, providing practitioners with safe, actionable, and accessible strategies for helping patients find relief from anxiety.
