Description
Description: Rather than chasing anxiety away, this panel reframes it as a state to understand, engage, and even seek out. Drawing from hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure principles, and experiential techniques, the presenters explore practical ways to work with phobias, panic, OCD, and generalized anxiety. Through clinical examples and lively discussion, they challenge the idea that calm is the goal, and instead invite therapists to help clients build mastery in the presence of uncertainty and distress.
Syllabus Description: This panel presents diverse strategies for treating anxiety and phobias, from shock therapy and desensitization to self-hypnosis and mind-body practices. Techniques include integrating hypnosis with CBT, using yoga for stress relief, and applying metaphors to reframe fear. Highlights include managing OCD through acceptance and uncertainty, and targeted approaches for specific phobias like driving and bridge anxiety.
