Janene M. Donarski – 2-Day: Anxiety Certification Course
Neuroscience has provided us with a roadmap that shows us how to work with anxious minds. However, many clinicians have struggled to understand the intricate map that neuroscience presents.
In this new, comprehensive certification training program recording, you’ll see how neuroscience can inform why, how and what techniques can help your clients stop the symptoms of anxiety – even tough to treat panic attacks, worry, rumination, nausea, and pounding hearts.
You can now watch Janene DonarskiDr. LP, LMSW CCATP for a complete step by step-By-Step-by-step clinical training on how to revolutionize your anxiety treatment with the power and potential of neuroplasticity.
More than the neurobiological “whats and whys”, you’ll also learn the “hows” of actual treatment – so you’ll know exactly how to empower your clients with strategies to resist anxiety-Initiating cognitions
You’ll leave this program recording confident in your ability and be fully prepared to integrate brain-Strategies that are based on the power of mindfulness to calm the mind, even in the most anxious, worried, and obsessive clients.
Assess the neurological processes that cause anxious symptoms in clients.
Teach clients the neurological processes behind anxiety in a clear, understandable manner that increases client motivation.
Client engagement in treatment through personalized goals and attending the therapeutic relationship.
To increase client engagement, incorporate personalized goals and direct client efforts towards making lasting brain changes.
Analyze the differences between amygdala-Base and cortex-Recognize the symptoms of anxiety based on their causes and determine how they can be treated.
Communicate strategies to calm and train the amygdala in order to relieve anxiety symptoms.
You can teach clients to retrain their cortex to resist anxiety rather than making it worse.
Determine if the client is suffering from rebound anxiety or relapse symptoms to determine the best treatment options.
Analyze the effects of psychotropic medication on neuroplasticity in brain and identify possible treatment implications.
Reframe exposure as an opportunity for the amygdala to learn new responses to increase client engagement and treatment compliance.
You can present client education exercises that you can use in session to teach clients how to use mindfulness techniques.
Provide clinical strategies to manage comorbid depression. These strategies reduce worry, rumination and common cognitive errors, while encouraging positive thinking and social interaction.
