The Backwards Bicycle and Other Neuroscience Tricks for Anxiety, Panic and, Worry!

Recently the field of neuroscience has enlightened and enhanced the understanding of the biological basis of anxiety. Not only do we have knowledge of what causes anxiety from a brain-based perspective, neuroscience has shown how certain practices can improve anxiety. These new found discoveries present opportunities for improvement in the treatment of anxiety and stress.   Join Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan in this webinar, and learn her keys for successful anxiety treatment. Dr. Schreiber-Pan integrates brain-based strategies for calming the anxious mind with client communication techniques that motivate change in your clients. Heidi’s approach promotes adherence to treatment and strengthens the therapeutic alliance – which is essential when working with anxious, worried, traumatized, or obsessive clients. Learn how to ascertain the underlying neurological processes that impact anxious symptoms for clients while developing client engagement in treatment using personalized goals and attending to the therapeutic relationship. Dr.  Schreiber-Pan will give you tools and techniques to: Identify and treat the roots of anxiety in both the amygdala and the cortex as well as explain “the language of the amygdala” in an accessible, straightforward way. The presentation will help clinicians identify how the cortex contributes to anxiety, and empower clients with strategies to resist anxiety-igniting cognitions.
