Understanding the relationship between how the brain functions and how people experience different sorts of anxiety can have profound implications for treatment. In this workshop, we'll describe the neurobiology of three different anxiety states—panic, general anxiety, and social anxiety—and what clinical interventions best suit the brain structures and processes underlying them. You'll learn not only how to understand the neurobiology of anxiety, but how to clearly convey this material to your clients, which itself has a calming effect. You'll come away with a key to identifying the most effective methods—behavioral and cognitive methods, as well as physiological and body-mind approaches like muscle relaxation, mindfulness training, and focusing—that best match a client's specific form of anxiety and its neurobiological base. (This session will continue with Workshop 524.)
