Anxiety can take over every aspect of our lives making even the most basic daily tasks very challenging. However, there is something far more powerful than anxiety that can have a significant positive impact on your life! In this keynote presentation national and international speaker and trainer, Elliott Connie, MA, LPC, will show exactly how to develop the positive mindset it requires so that you live your life from that perspective and no longer overwhelmed with anxiety.
Copyright : 01/12/2022Treating anxiety is more challenging these days... In order to more effectively help your clients, you need the latest research on how COVID was the “switch” that shone a light on emerging anxiety issues and how it triggered old or existing ones. To top it all off, existential fears have been exacerbated by years of media bombardment, constant economic, racial, and political unrest, and even the worry of large-scale war. This recorded session, with highly sought-after international public speaker Dr. Marwa Azab, will have you dive deeper into that research as she walks you through the effects of burnout, anxious fog, along with other new faces of anxiety and how they impact your treatment methods.
You’ll be able to:
Don’t miss your opportunity to learn how anxiety has changed and how you can improve your treatment methods with these latest developments.
Objectives
An ache, pain, or fever can throw your health-anxious client over the edge… And researching symptoms on the internet often doesn’t help, in fact it has the opposite affect… Is this COVID? Cancer? Something else entirely? You need the proper skillset and tools be able to help clients discern the difference between a sensation and something that may be a symptom of a larger illness.
In this recorded session, Kimberly Morrow, LCSW and Elizabeth DuPont Spencer, MSW, LCSW-C will give you the essential information to diagnose health anxiety with or without physical symptoms, as well as help you to develop exposures that will help your clients change their relationship with this fear.

67% of your clients are compulsively checking their smartphones for alerts, calls, and texts—even without getting a notification. Our clients are in an enmeshed relationship with their smartphones… and our clinical training never taught us how to handle this kind of relationship.
Research has started to identify the impact of smartphone and internet overuse--linking it with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and stress. That’s why we have created a one-day live webinar packed with activities, visual tools, case studies, and experiential exercises to help your clients:

Dr. Pittman’s approach is rooted in neuroscience yet explained in ways that are straightforward and accessible. Teaching clients how to understand and retrain their amygdala increases their motivation and engagement because the focus shifts away from decreasing anxiety and towards changing the brain!
Objectives
You’re working with an anxious client, but seem to be making little progress… you could be missing some key under-lying factors like PTSD or trauma that prevent you from making any headway with their anxiety symptoms. In fact, they could be exacerbating them. You need to understand the neuroscience behind how trauma and PTSD can affect your clients anxiety and how maximizing participation in early treatment can alleviate symptoms of PTSD and trauma and let you address the root cause of their anxiety.
In this recorded session, Dr. Janene Donarski will help you apply practical neuroscience-integrated treatment models like EMDR, CBT, and Exposure Therapy to work through roadblocks with the resistant or avoidant client and help them reduce the physiological threat response that comes with anxiety.
You’ll learn skills like:

Objectives
Can anxiety and worry be perpetuated like a habit? Anxiety levels are increasing individually and collectively in modern day. Faced with uncertainty, an overabundance of information (and misinformation), among other challenges, our minds struggle to keep up. Our brains default to old survival mechanism to help us deal with anxiety, which can lead to the development of unhealthy coping habits (e.g. stress eating) and ironically feed anxiety as a habit itself.
Drawing on his clinical work, neuroscience research studies and development of next-generation digital therapeutics for habit change, Dr. Brewer will discuss the underlying behavioural and neurobiological mechanisms of why anxiety and other habits are formed and how we can paradoxically tap into these very processes to uproot them. He will also discuss how we can apply these insights to improving clinical treatments and to our own lives.
Objectives
Your anxious client needs relief, and they want it now! Meanwhile, their family members are becoming increasingly frustrated by the paralysis their fear causes and their relationships begin to fracture. You’ve hit a dead-end, with each party arguing that the other should just “let it go” or “you’re not taking me seriously.” You need the tools to help your clients grasp the impact of their anxiety on relationships and balance loved one’s concern for the anxious family member against the negativity of anxiety and their outright annoyance at living with anxiety on a daily basis. This recorded session with best-selling author Dr. Margaret Wehrenberg will discuss pragmatic approaches like the principle of “Right Reassurance” to reduce the impact of anxiety while the anxious client is still in the process of treating their anxiety.
You’ll learn:
This is your chance to not only help your client get control of their anxiety, but empower their loved ones to support them as well.
Objectives
Increased hate crimes. Fear and discrimination. Police brutality and traumatic media coverage. Higher rates of mental and physical health disorders. Just because your clients aren’t talking about racial-based anxiety, doesn’t mean they’re not dealing with it. It is critical that your therapeutic space instils a sense of safety and calm and agency and empowerment for BIPOC clients. Imagine your Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) clients leaving therapy... feeling like their traumatic experiences no longer drain or define them... having gained a sense of ownership over their story... using their trauma to help or inspire others into healthy action.
Chinwé Williams, PhD, and Licensed and Board-Certified EMDR therapist has been supporting BIPOC clients with trauma recovery for over a decade. She serves the BIPOC community as a published researcher and author, consultant, educator, and a featured expert blog and media contributor. She specializes in somatically-focused approaches to teach clients how to regulate the nervous system and safely use the body for healing racial trauma. In this summit recording, Dr. Williams will go beyond cultural competency and “top down approaches”, like CBT—because clients can’t think their way out of trauma.
You’ll learn:
Don’t let therapy be another space where a BIPOC client doesn’t feel safe and heard. Watch this expert-led training to grow deeper in your connections with BIPOC clients and improve clinical outcomes.
Objectives
You can dramatically improve the lives of people struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder by embracing the effective and seamless combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Ritual Prevention (ERP). Decades of research show that ERP is impactful for folks with compulsive, clinically-relevant habits, and ACT provides support in this endeavour by helping the person broaden their lifestyle to mindfully engage in vital, valuable, purposeful actions.
Watch ACT expert Daniel Moran, Ph.D., BCBA-D, as he not only improves your OCD therapeutic toolbox, but also provides experiential exercises that will be personally impactful for you!
Objectives
With anxiety rising at record rates, mental health professionals must be ready to help every client overcome their anxiety. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is an evidence-based, straightforward, result-driven approach to therapy that helps clients with anxiety become “unstuck” by drawing on their already existing resources and personal strengths.
Watch dynamic speaker, prolific author, and SFBT trainer Elliott Connie, MA, LPC, as he walks you through the philosophical shift from problem to solution-oriented therapy that will completely change how you approach anxiety treatment. No tricks, no theoretical rhetoric that takes years to understand – just simple, practical, innovative strategies that will transform your clients lives who struggle with anxiety.
Objectives
Teach clients to stop dreading and avoiding their anxiety! Learn from Richard Schwartz, PhD, the founder of this model that is being embraced worldwide as a cornerstone treatment for therapists. Dr. Schwartz will show you that your client's anxiety is to be comforted - not dreaded or avoided.
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model offers a way to help clients separate from their anxious parts and then love and comfort them. In doing so, clients can also learn where those parts are stuck in the past and retrieve them from those scary times and unload the fear they carry. This is a scary present but it’s also an opportunity to help many clients do some deep healing.
Objectives
We will explore a paradigm-shifting approach to managing anxiety, based on the understanding that anxiety is not all in our heads, but also in our bodies.

This is essential for any clinician supporting patients who are struggling with anxiety, providing practitioners with safe, actionable, and accessible strategies for helping patients find relief from anxiety.
