Don’t Panic About Treating Anxiety Disorders! The Three Core Cognitive Behavioral Interventions That Every Clinician Should Know! with Simon Rego, PsyD

Close to one fifth of the population suffers from some form of

anxiety disorder. A number of evidence-based treatment protocols have

been developed to treat these disorders – often with a success rate that

is equal to, or better than, medications. The challenge that many

therapists face today involves investing in the tremendous amount of

time, effort, and cost that it would take to learn how to administer

each of these protocols separately. Fortunately, many of these protocols

are built on a set of core cognitive-behavioral principles, which

target the common mechanisms involved in perpetuating the disorders.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the three

essential ingredients that are included in all CBT protocols for anxiety

disorders.  An overview of current theory and research that supports

the application of CBT will be presented including the latest evidence

on the impact of combining CBT with medications in the treatment of

anxiety disorders.  Examples of how to implement these ingredients will

be demonstrated using role-plays, video clips, and any case material

that attendees wish to offer.
