Workshop 05 - Rewiring Anxious Habits: Tools for Sustainable Anxiety Relief
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.
Educational Objectives:
1. Identify two common behavioral habits that maintain anxious arousal
2. Describe two experiential techniques that foster embodied regulation and presence
3. Explain two effective strategies to reduce excessive worry through nervous system engagement
