The anxiety may have initially been focused on realistic, understandable concerns – such as financial difficulties, health, job insecurity or unemployment, relationship problems (particularly complex in blended families) or fears about the future in an increasingly uncertain world – but has spiralled out of control. Or it may have no clear cause and manifests as an ever-present feeling of being ‘wired’, tense or vulnerable, very often accompanied by out-of-control thoughts. The person may be hypervigilant, unable to relax and highly miserable. Left unaddressed, chronic anxiety can also badly affect sleep and physical, as well as mental, health. The good news is there’s much that we can do to reduce this suffering. This highly practical course focuses on giving you the key information and practical skills you need to lower anxiety levels and help people manage their own anxiety better. It concentrates on generalised anxiety (including generalised anxiety disorder – GAD), social anxiety and panic attacks, but also addresses how to handle anxiety that is a feature of conditions such as autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD and bipolar and borderline personality disorder. Good to know This day complements the Online Course: ‘Understanding anxiety – and managing it without drugs’ Trauma, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders are dealt with on separate practical skills training days (see “The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias” and “Obsessive compulsive disorder – understanding OCD and how best to treat it.”) Course Programme The ‘How to Control Chronic Anxiety’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm.

The course will also provide valuable understanding and practical help for anyone struggling to deal with their own chronic anxiety or for those in relationships or families affected by chronic anxiety.* The day offers the chance to gain life skills of benefit to everyone. * Please Note: This course is not a substitute for individual therapy but there are lots of techniques that anyone suffering from anxiety can take away and use themselves.

Essential skills for successfully treating a wide range of conditions – such as trauma, addictions, anxiety and depression – as well as making long-lasting behaviour changes and much more… Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) This has been a priceless experience. Life-changing. Brilliant, simply brilliant!COUNSELLOR / EX IT SERVICE MANAGER Why take this course Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’. If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is also useful for raising self-confidence and increasing motivation. When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as anxiety disorders, addiction, anger, stress overload, trauma, depression, chronic pain and much more. That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’. Fascinating way of working with clients – relaxation techniques very powerful. Extremely relevant to practice. Good techniques and strategies learnt to use with clients to help them problem solve and move forward.HEALTH VISITOR What will you learn Powerful new ways to improve treatment outcomes Training and practice in using one of the most effective psycho- therapeutic tools available for treating a wide range of emotional and physical conditions Invaluable ways to motivate people, reframe life circumstances and instigate changes in behaviour Insight into how the mind/body communication system works Greater confidence when working with a wide variety of conditions Supervised practise in generating healing trances The core skills you need to acquire for the rewind technique for treating PTSD and phobias A variety of ways to help people relax Ways to reduce pain, including in childbirth Increased understanding of trance states and their role in everyday life Effective skills for helping people improve their performance – sports, public speaking etc. The opportunity to experience relaxation, guided imagery and visualisation yourself A scientifically-sound knowledge of why the various techniques and skills you will gain are so valuable And much more Good to know The skills you will learn on this course are an essential pre-requisite for taking the The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias course. You will also need them for the following courses too: Brief Therapy for Stopping Addictions How to Lift Depression Overcoming Self-harm Further guided imagery techniques can be learnt and practised on our NEW workshop: Guided Imagery 2 – essential techniques Course Programme The ‘Guided imagery and visualisation for therapeutic change’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm.
