This course will present a paradigm shift from traditional and medical treatments for anxiety to a neuroscience-informed psychotherapeutic approach to understanding and eliminating anxiety. This new paradigm teaches an understanding of central (brain) and peripheral (outside of the brain) nervous systems and how they create the physiological foundation driving the many types of anxiety disorders. Attendees will learn how to modify and eventually control anxiety by using neuroscience-informed psychotherapy techniques that affect these nervous systems, creating a mindfulness transition from chronic experiences of anxiety to a more relaxed anxiety-free life. This neuroscience-informed, non-disease-oriented treatment approach, inspired by evidenced-based research, demonstrates how positive neurocircuitry changes within one's brain along with modulation of the autonomic nervous system causes cognitive changes within one's mind creating an opportunity for people to cease being plagued by chronic experiences of anxiety.
