The impact of the 2020 Covid pandemic on people with anxiety disorders will be felt for a long time to come.
Even though the advent of a vaccine brought hope and relief, the many major changes to the way people have had to work, parent, and socialize have left us with unprecedented rates of anxiety and depression.
And even three years later, we still live in the ‘ambient anxiety’ of constant news about viruses, natural disasters, and racial/economic oppression. The consequent stress of the need to curate this information from news sources only adds to a toxic atmosphere and fuels the vigilance that is a hallmark of anxiety disorders.
Pandemic times have added yet another layer of concern for therapists: our clients’ resilience to this stress is undermined by serious disappointments that have hit virtually every individual. Therapists need new resources to help clients with anxiety symptoms that still include panic, rumination, and difficulty with problem-solving, but with the added twist of the pandemic-driven belief that worry is necessary and problems are not resolvable.
In this 3-hour webinar, Dr. Wehrenberg will focus on practical strategies from her new book “Pandemic Anxiety: Fear, Stress, and Loss in Traumatic Times” that will help any client with anxiety to suffer less panic, increase their stress resilience, and block worry (especially health anxiety). Join us and get new ideas to manage anxiety in the pandemic realities of stress, fear, and loss!
- Discern the impact of ambient anxiety that increases worry and panic
- Apply effective strategies that eliminate panic
- Utilize cognitive tools to interrupt anxious ruminations
- Devise techniques to minimize the stress of life changes in work and school and parenting
- Develop clients’ resilience to cope with reality-based threats while eliminating vigilance
