When it moves into families, it takes over daily routines, schoolwork, and recreation. Depression is often close on its heels.\u003cbr\u003eThe most frequent comment I hear from anxious families is “no one told them what to DO.” After multi-session assessment or months of appointments, they still didn’t have a clear plan or understanding of HOW to respond when anxiety shows up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine being able to offer families immediate and effective tasks to weaken anxiety’s grip!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat if, during a first session, you could give your clients the information and a road map to change the powerful patterns of anxiety disorders?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin Lynn Lyons, LICSW, internationally recognized psychotherapist, author and speaker, in an intensive training.
