Description
Description: This session lays out a unified, emotion-focused approach to treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and related emotional disorders. Participants are guided through how avoidance, suppression, and safety behaviors maintain distress, and how therapy can instead build tolerance for emotional experience through reappraisal, emotion exposure, and shifting emotion-driven behaviors. Drawing on research, clinical examples, and neuroscience, the session offers a practical framework for working across diagnoses rather than chasing symptoms one by one.
Syllabus Description: Theory and rationale supporting a new unified approach to emotional disorders are described along with some preliminary experience with the protocol. It is suggested that this unified treatment may represent a more efficient and effective strategy in treating emotional disorders, pending further evaluation.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the three basic principles of a new protocol for emotional disorders.
- To describe the integration of basic psychopathology with active therapeutic ingredients in the treatment of emotional disorders.
