As helping professionals, we know all too well how debilitating anxiety can be on our clients&rsquo; ability to lead full and joyful lives. Often their own self-critical thinking, avoidance and reliance on safety behaviors only exacerbate their pain. <br> This highly interactive, experiential workshop teaches participants how to engage, even the most anxious client, with practical, &ldquo;doable&rdquo; skills that will increase our clients&rsquo; confidence and ability to overcome anxiety. <br> This webinar will teach clinicians how to help clients identify, manage and combat symptoms, as well as insidious, unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. By enhancing clients&rsquo; problem-solving abilities and overcoming avoidance, clinicians will finally be able to help clients enhance their confidence and succeed in moving forward from the trap of anxiety.<br>
