Dr. Carbonell believes that people who struggle with chronic anxiety have been “tricked”, by their physiology and their “common sense”, into getting caught up in a struggle that increasingly complicates and degrades their lives. His method is to help people walk a different path, one that fosters recovery by disengaging from the constant “anti-anxiety” struggle which now maintains their present difficulties.
Watch this seminar recording and take home effective strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Paradoxical Therapy, metacognitive Therapy, and traditional CBT in a unique and innovative way. This recording will show you how to empower your clients with anxiety disorders to see themselves as good, capable people who have been fooled by anxiety, rather than defective people who need to be protected. Join Dr. Carbonell for this powerful program, and discover how to motivate your clients to seek out, rather than avoid, the corrective experiences they need for recovery from an anxiety disorder.
