December 16th, 2016 | 9:00 am-4:00 pm
This workshop will teach a therapeutic formulation of anxiety that has worked extremely well for hundreds of children in Dr. Alter’s private practice. She will explain how the link between imagination and anxiety can be used effectively in treatment.
This approach starts and ends with an enhancement of self-esteem and actually motivates children to use therapeutic tools and strategies. You will learn how children's anxiety and thinking are different from adults and how to be more effective with children in creating fundamental change.
You will learn to:
*Differentiate children and adult's anxieties
*Teach children how to control their minds
*Manage children's anxiety
*Increase their motivation for change
Work with children around anxiety to enhance their self-esteem, empower them and challenge them to face their problems and fears
