Dialogue 01 – Challenging Questions and Answers: What’s Happening in Anxiety Treatment?
Lynn Lyons and Dr. Reid Wilson have been treating anxiety and OCD for decades. They’ve written books (together and separately), trained clinicians (together and separately) and are full of observations and opinions about what works, what doesn’t, and where anxiety treatment is going. In this dialogue, Lynn and Reid will ask each other pointed questions about trends, success, failures, changes, and controversies. And the audience is invited to join in with their own questions.

3. Create at least one resource to share with clients to use outside of sessions.
