- 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.

When clients remain centered, they will influence and set boundaries that will actually change the dynamics of the relationship. When your client is different the interactions have to evolve.
