Dear Prospective Participant, I was thrilled when Jack Hirose invited me to do my workshop in Calgary. We have worked together for more than 15 years, and I can tell you that Jack is simply THE BEST. He is totally dedicated to creating amazing training programs and does superb work. I know you will have an extremely enjoyable two days, jam-packed with training, tears, and laughter, and hope that you can join us! Anxiety is arguably the single most common mental health problem. Although many people turn to pills for a solution, the latest research indicates that the most effective treatments are drug-free. In this workshop, I will illustrate how to integrate the Motivational, Cognitive, Exposure, and Hidden Emotion Models in the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Phobias, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, Shyness, Public Speaking Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Performance Anxiety, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and Hypochondriasis. The goal of the treatment is complete, high-speed recovery and lasting change. You will learn how to use a multitude of innovative, rapid treatment methods, including the Experimental Technique, Feared Fantasy, Acceptance Paradox, Hidden Emotion Technique, Cognitive Flooding, Externalization of Voices, Time- Travel, Shame-Attacking Exercises, and many more. I will not simply present a grab bag of techniques or formulas for various “disorders.” I will show you how to create a warm, vibrant collaborative relationship, overcome the patient’s resistance to change, and develop a systematic, individualized treatment plan that specifically targets each patient’s unique problems and needs. I will illustrate these new approaches with dramatic video excerpts from therapy sessions with individuals who are struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I will also do a live therapy session on the evening of day 1 with a volunteer from the audience who is struggling with anxiety. Although this will not be a therapy group, but a training workshop, the “patient” experience can make these techniques far more meaningful, and will make you a more sensitive and effective clinician.
