Class 1

10:00 am – 4:45 pm (6 CE Credits)

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

This CE You! training will help clinicians improve their understanding of neuroscience and include scientific knowledge into their counseling sessions. (Don’t worry, its not brain surgery.) Participants will discover client friendly explanations of these relevant concepts which can enhance client engagement in treatment.

Dr. Heidi 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.

Dr. Schreiber-Pan will give you tools and techniques to:

• Identify and treat the roots of anxiety in both the amygdala and the cortex
• Explain “the language of the amygdala” in an accessible, straight forward way
• Identify how the cortex contributes to anxiety, and empower clients with strategies to resist anxiety-igniting cognitions
• Therapy is about change – it’s about creating a new self – and incorporating the concept of “rewiring the brain” is a potent method for stopping anxiety in its tracks.
