Overview:
When it comes to treating the anxiety disorders, the quickest, most effective approach involves ramping up fears while welcoming the experience. In this presentation, Dr. Reid Wilson will help you understand the core strategies of a cognitive treatment that can radically and swiftly shift the client’s point of view regarding both their relationship with their disorder and the tactics of change.
The principles will be illustrated by brief video clips of the author’s live demonstrations. These will include developing placebo and dismantling their dysfunctional logical system. The goal of this approach is to persuade clients to adopt a self-help protocol to voluntarily, purposely and aggressively seek out uncertainty moment-by-moment. The therapist “sets the hook” by ensuring that the client can collaborate on designing paradoxical behavioral experiments as their first homework assignments.
Objectives:
- Describe and justify the therapeutic sequence of detachment and absorption
- Defend the advantage of personifying the disorder and perceiving treatment as a mental game
- Illustrate how a shift in attitude belongs in the therapeutic skillset
Course materials are only available to enrolled students.
