203 In recent years, there have been so many advances in understanding and treating anxiety disorders that it's hard to keep up. This session will bring you up to date with the latest innovations and help you integrate into your practice the new research findings and therapy models for working with anxiety clients. We'll examine the full range of recent developments, including the current understanding of the brain and how it affects anxiety treatment; new findings about how and when to use different medications, including SSRIs, anti-convulsives, and stimulants; uses of adjunctive therapies, such as massage, yoga, and music; and the impact of lifestyle, including diet, caffeine intake, and sleep habits, on anxiety. You'll take away new approaches and interventions that you can put to use immediately with clients suffering from anxiety.
