By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel
Meds: Myths and Realities: NP0035 – Session 3
Do you feel like you could be a more effective therapist with your younger clients? Do you find it hard to determine when interventions--psychological and pharmacological--might be needed?

After the session, please let us know what you think. If you ever have any technical questions or issues, please feel free to email support@psychotherapynetworker.org.

606 The Anxious Brain
Margaret Wehrenberg
Sunday All-Day
Social anxiety may be the most difficult anxiety disorder to treat because these clients feel higher degrees of anxiety. . .
Social anxiety may be the most difficult anxiety disorder to treat because these clients feel higher degrees of anxiety, but are frequently unmotivated to change. Achievements or social interactions just aren’t compelling to many with social anxiety. By exploring how to combine motivation and encouragement with fear reduction, you’ll learn to help clients reduce their social anxiety and feel more confident. We’ll review the latest research showing that motivation varies from individual to individual and discuss how to apply effective strategies to enhance people’s desire to change. We’ll explore a systematic treatment plan that weaves motivational work with titrated amounts of exposure, which is effective in reducing social anxiety from childhood to adulthood. You’ll leave with a clear sense of how to promote treatment compliance and help your clients recover more fully from social anxiety.
Margaret Wehrenberg, Psy.D., specializes in anxiety treatment, using a holistic approach for symptom management. She’s the author of The 10 Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques and most recently, The 10 Best-Ever Depression Management Techniques.
