- Short Description:
- This session emphasizes attitude over technique in treating anxiety. Reid Wilson and Lynn Lyons advocate treating anxiety as a mental game, encouraging clients to personify the disorder and focus on emotional patterns rather than specific fears. Core attitudes—like courage, defiance, and tenacity—are key to stepping into discomfort. Strategies include using metaphors, reframing health anxiety as OCD, and distinguishing real problems (signals) from mental noise.

- Short Description:
- Patients with relationship problems often complain about others, blaming them for the difficulties in their relationship. This nearly always creates intense barriers to effective treatment because if therapists try to "help,"they suddenly run into a wall of resistance. In this panel, two therapists will discuss research on therapeutic resistance as well as treatment techniques from the attachment and TEAM-CBT perspectives. Outcome Resistance and Process Resistance will be described, and therapeutic strategies will be discussed.

- Short Description:
- There’s no escaping the dire reports about the high rates of anxiety and depression in teens and young adults. The theories about what is driving the increase are multiple and overlapping, from the pandemic to social media to parenting to the state of the world. And while therapists obviously want to help, are we truly doing what works? Or are we buying into the same mental health trends and assumptions as the young people we’re trying to help? In this keynote, Lynn encourages mental health providers to question the myths, trends, and sometimes surprising approaches to addressing youth mental health and to focus our efforts on treatment based on action, connection, and accurate psychoeducation.

- Short Description:
- Karl Rogers said that empathy is the “necessary and sufficient condition” for therapeutic change. Aaron Beck said that Rogers was wrong, and that empathy was necessary but not sufficient, because cognitive techniques are also needed for change. Albert Ellis said that they were both wrong. He insisted that empathy wasn’t necessary, sufficient, or desirable, because patients have to do their “damn homework” if they want to get better. Who was right? And what happens when a computer provides the empathy? And how might this affect your clinical practice? Dr. Burns will describe the unexpected results of a recent beta test with the Feeling Great App.

- Short Description:
- Wilson presents a strategic, persuasive model for treating OCD, integrating principles from MRI brief therapy and Ericksonian hypnosis. His approach helps clients dismantle dysfunctional beliefs by introducing a paradoxical frame of reference, treating obsessions as irrelevant noise, and creating structured rules to bypass overthinking. Techniques include modifying rituals, using timers, postponing obsessions, and adding consequences to reinforce practice. With a focus on mindfulness, collaboration, and generating uncertainty, this method shifts clients from avoidance to empowered action.

- Short Description:
- After decades of working with anxious families, schools, and mental health providers, Lynn is clear about two things: parents are a critical part of therapy with anxious kids and offering long lists of “coping skills” is not enough to interrupt anxiety’s powerful generational patterns. In this workshop, Lynn will describe 1) why plans often fail, 2) how to create process-based plans for families and schools that go after the demands of the anxiety disorder, and 3) how to shift away from the practice of creating certainty and comfort. Short-term elimination strategies and long- term accommodation plans that address the “content” of the worry are all too common, so let’s instead give parents and educators the information and “big picture” instruction they need!

- Short Description:
- In the general consideration of Eating Disorders, anxiety symptoms have often been valued only as secondary aspects or even as a non-relevant issue. On the contrary, clinical experience and some recent findings demonstrate that anxiety plays an important role at various critical moments of the disorder and in its treatment process. The incidence of anxiety in ED patients is four times higher than in the general population. A higher anxiety level corresponds to greater severity of the illness. ED symptoms are more intense when accompanied by forms of anxiety. Greater anxiety contributes to poorer outcomes, and follow-up results are less positive. Particularly in BN and AN-B, the tendency toward impulsivity is stronger in accordance with higher levels of anxiety, and If the patient’s body dissatisfaction is high, there is a greater risk of self- injurious behavior and even of suicidal attempts.

- Short Description:
- Attachment theory is an integrative theory that can be used as a cognitiveinterpersonal framework for understanding the development of depression, and anxiety. The development of attachment theory and neuroscience had offered ways of understanding how interpersonal experience affects neurobiological processes. It created much impact in psychotherapy allowing for new ways for treating issues like marital problems, relational trauma, depression, and anxiety. Our early relationships shape our neurophysiology, and how we relate to others and ourselves. This workshop will address the relational aspects of depression and anxiety, and ways to address them in psychotherapy.

- Short Description:
- Cognitive psychology, the study of how people think, has given rise to new understandings about how people gather and use information. This includes how people decide, usually at a level outside of awareness, what is salient to pay attention to in a given context and, likewise, what is essentially irrelevant. When people get sidetracked into irrelevancy, paying too much attention to what doesn’t really matter and too little attention to what does, their perceptions and responses naturally lead them astray. More important, when someone’s perspective is so global or over-general that they simply don’t know how or what to decide, they are far more likely to make poor decisions on the basis of hurt feelings, old history, misconceptions, or blind faith.

- For centuries, thinkers have debated a bold claim by Epictetus: that our emotions don’t stem from events, but from our thoughts about them. So—do thoughts cause feelings, or is it the other way around? In this provocative keynote, Dr. David Burns shares groundbreaking findings from a study of nearly 7,000 users of the Feeling Great app. Using cutting-edge assessments and advanced modeling, his team tested the real-time causal links between negative thoughts and feelings. The results may upend conventional wisdom—and transform how we treat depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. You’ll also learn how a rapid, digital intervention can lead to dramatic mood improvement—in minutes.

- Short Description:
- Our current culture likes to talk (and talk and talk) about anxiety and depression, with seemingly limitless voices weighing in on what to do, what to buy, and what to avoid. But based on rising trends of loneliness, anxiety and depression in our young people, this flood of approaches is not enough. In fact, they’re often making things worse. What do teens and their parents need to know about anxiety and its common path into depression? How do we move beyond “mental health awareness”? Misinformation, self-labeling, and bad advice are everywhere, making the goal of developing emotionally and socially resilient teens increasingly difficult. Mental health providers must focus on creating effective school and family plans that don’t “do the disorder” but instead focus on the development of skills such as problem solving, social connection, emotional management and autonomy. The goal is a thorough understanding of HOW these disorders operate...

We will highlight what to seek in the initial interview, presenting to clients their underlying beliefs that lead to their flawed goals, the simplest cognitive restructuring tasks, the why and how of teaching clients paradoxical interventions, setting up and then debriefing exposures and exposure simulations, and the benefits and principles of group work.

- Short Description:
- “You’re unique…just like everyone else.” This statement highlights a challenging conundrum: if everyone is special then is anyone special? Anyone who has been doing therapy for any significant length of time will likely have noticed that while each person is unique as an individual, their problems are often remarkably redundant: here’s yet another person suffering with an anxiety disorder, another couple suffering in a distressed and depressing marriage, and another person feeling unhappy with life, and so on. Is the problem in them? Or is it in their process, i.e., the steps they follow leading to distress? By asking ‘how’ questions rather than ‘why,” we can more readily identify unhelpful processes and know where to intervene. In this address, I’ll describe how hypnosis can be used to help build better processes that are lifeenhancing.

- Short Description:
- Anxiety is the most common disorder of childhood and one of the top reasons parents seek out help for their children. We also know that anxiety is generational, with over 65% of anxious children having at least one anxious parent. When these parents arrive in our offices, they are often desperate for help and looking for direction but are still routinely left out of treatment! Working directly with parents in first (and subsequent) sessions is critical for offering concrete direction, building expectancy, and setting the tone for between session work. This workshop will focus on HOW to get families engaged from the start with an active approach that is direct, skill-based, and works to decrease accommodations and safety behaviors. We’ll address how to immediately tackle the physical symptoms that dominate and distract from addressing the key patterns.

- Treatment of panic disorder and its phobias is now pushing beyond the permissive approach (“It’s OK that I’m anxious”) and further into the confrontational (“I want to get anxious!”) Participants will learn how to divide and conquer: to interrupt anticipatory anxiety and then to manage physical symptoms using cognitive strategies, paradox, pattern disruption, exposure and interoceptive exposure, and peeling away their everpresent “safety crutches.” All these techniques will be placed within a new broad strategic intervention that modifies the habituation model by teaching clients to alter their orientation toward panic.

- Short Description:
- Anxiety is more than a state of mind—it is a learned, embodied response reinforced by habitual behaviors, distorted cognition, physiological dysregulation, and emotional avoidance. Many individuals unknowingly engage in daily habits that amplify agitation and disconnect them from the present moment, keeping their nervous systems stuck in chronic anxiety loops. This workshop is designed to go beyond symptom management and address the deeper patterns that sustain anxiety. You will learn how to identify and interrupt anxious habits, increase clients’ interoceptive awareness, and apply experiential techniques that promote self-regulation, body-based presence, and emotional flexibility. Demonstrations, video and live, will help attendees gain practical tools they can immediately implement in session and teach clients to use outside the therapy room.

- Short Description:
- In this two-hour workshop, we will explore an evidence-based framework for helping individuals regulate anxiety, using an adapted version of Bruce Perry’s ‘sequence of engagement’ model for trauma intervention. This session will prepare professionals to work effectively with highly anxious individuals by guiding them through four key phases of intervention: 1) Regulate – Learn how to calm the central nervous system and create a safe space for nervous system regulation; 2) Relate – Understand how to help individuals feel seen, heard, and understood, fostering trust and safety; 3) Reason – Explore how to activate critical thinking and probability estimation to challenge problematic thinking patterns; and 4) Experiment – Discover effective ‘reality testing’; strategies like opposite action and practicing panic to deactivate anxiety triggers in real-world settings. The core message is that omitting any of these steps can undermine what would otherwise be an effective intervention.
