Advanced Skills for Treating Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Symptoms
When Uncertainty Prevails
Continuing Education Training
In today’s world, many people are facing heightened stress, anxiety, and trauma due to a range of factors—political polarization, societal divisions, and climate change concerns, including the devastating impact of the LA fires. These issues, along with many others, often lead to emotional, physical, and cognitive distress.
This course offers real-time, advanced interventions and strategies to help build resilience in the face of these types of challenges. Attendees will learn how to manage and reduce the symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression caused by worry and loss. Through a blend of evidence-based approaches, participants will explore ways to reset boundaries and expectations—both personally and professionally—while developing practical tools to navigate uncertainty. These strategies are designed not only to support coping and promote healing, but also to help individuals feel more confident and equipped to face ongoing stressors and hardships.
Course Description: In this course, attendees will gain practical strategies to not only manage but also actively reduce emotional, physical, and cognitive distress caused by anxiety, worry, and uncertainty. Through a blend of evidence-based approaches, we’ll explore ways to reset boundaries and expectations—both personally and professionally—while navigating today’s challenges.
Participants will leave with a diverse toolkit of effective strategies drawn from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sensorimotor Therapy, EMDR, Grief Therapy, and Mindfulness. These approaches are designed to support a more resilient nervous system, foster emotional balance, and enhance effectiveness in both daily life and clinical practice.
