Anxiety is perhaps the number-one presenting problem in therapy, as well as one of the most difficult to address, since anxiety about anything can invade the client's entire life, becoming anxiety about everything. To interrupt this endless loop, you must be able to distinguish between the many different sources of anxiety and address each as it arises. In this workshop, we'll discuss how to distinguish between the distinct sources of anxiety--cognitive (thoughts or beliefs), biological (inherited temperament, hormonal disruption), situational (as with phobias), existential (a sense of meaninglessness)--and appropriately address each one. You'll learn a variety of multi-sensorial techniques that make use of enactments and physical props (paper, rubber bands, modeling clay, marbles, old cassette tapes) to help clients give shape and concreteness to otherwise amorphous anxieties, take some physical action to address the anxiety, and gain some control over it and freedom from it. (This session will continue with Workshop 310.)
