Recorded on July 15, 2020
Presented by Carolyn Daitch, PhD; Director of the Center for the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.5 CEs for Psychologists, and 1.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSW, and LMFTs
Workshop Description:
Anxiety destroys the normal enjoyment of life through the fear, worry, obsessive thinking and avoidant behavior that anxious people experience. Simple activities like going to the grocery store, taking a child to her first day of school, or meeting a friend for lunch trigger a barrage of frantic “what ifs.” This workshop will explore the subtleties of working with this pervasive category of disorders that affects an estimated 20% of the population. The workshop will also focus on the effect that uncontrolled anxiety has on intimate relationships.
The presenter will introduce a powerful, integrative therapy model that combines:
- CBT
- Hypnosis
- Mindfulness
Using this integrative therapy model, workshop participants will learn practical interventions that are applicable to the treatment of panic, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. A unique feature of this presentation is the four-part intervention developed by Dr. Daitch that integrates mindfulness, cognitive and hypnotic approaches. These tools work together to help clients feel more empowered when flooded with anxiety.
Workshop Learning Objectives:
After attending this intermediate-level workshop, participants will be able to:
- Articulate the rationale for combining hypnosis with CBT in the management of anxiety disorders.
- Describe two hypnotic techniques that can be integrated with CBT for the treatment of each sub-type of anxiety disorder.
- Identify two interventions that can help clients observe somatic manifestations of anxiety with less reactivity.
