Better outcomes. More quickly.

Help Even Your Most Anxious Clients

Anxious guyAnxiety can cripple lives.

It can suffocate our clients’ personal and professional growth, shut down their ability to start relationships and take away their freedom to choose their own destiny.

The worst part? Without successful treatment, anxiety can then become a ravenous vacuum – sucking our clients’ confidence and talents and leaving them vulnerable to the “quick fixes” that only serve to sustain their fear.

But to effectively treat anxiety, we have to first understand how it overwhelms a person’s ability to calm themselves. We have to look at the specific way ambiguity triggers anxiety and how what’s happening in the brain interacts with the physiological effects of panic to sustain a client’s anxiety.

That’s why we put together this new short course . . .

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

Mary Ellen
