Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Anxiety Disorders

DiLGEM is pleased to announce that we have engaged Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy to provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) training to DiLGEM. Beck Institute is the home of CBT and provides the gold standard in CBT training for thousands of health and mental health professionals across the globe each year. The topic being presented is CBT for Anxiety.

CBT for Anxiety Workshop Description

Learn how to conceptualize anxious patients, plan treatment based on the individualized conceptualization, engage the anxious patient in the therapeutic relationship, decrease physiological symptoms of anxiety and increase functional behavior. You will learn how to use evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies to help patients identify and respond adaptively to key anxious thoughts and beliefs, restructure maladaptive cognitions and catastrophic misinterpretations, develop exposure hierarchies, build symptom tolerance, eliminate safety behaviors, increase tolerance for uncertainty, and reduce obsessions, compulsions, and avoidance. These cognitive behavioral therapy strategies will be applied to specific diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
