Description
Description: This workshop explores a unified approach to treating anxiety, depression, and related emotional disorders by working directly with how people respond to their own emotions. Participants learn how patterns like avoidance, suppression, and fear of internal experience keep symptoms going, and how therapy can interrupt those cycles across diagnoses. The session walks through core strategies such as emotional awareness, cognitive flexibility, and exposure to internal cues, offering a practical framework that helps clinicians work more effectively with complex, comorbid presentations.
Syllabus Description: This workshop will review the evidence supporting and discussing recent applications of a transdiagnostic, unified, cognitive behavioral and emotion focused approach to treating emotional disorders. Participants will learn how to apply treatment components organized in modules to a wide range of emotional disorders in adults through instruction, case examples,and video clinical vignettes.
Educational Objectives:
- To list the seven modules of the unified protocol for emotional disorders.
- Given a case, conceptualize it from a unified trans diagnostic perspective.
