The workshop will provide participants with a clear understanding of the cognitive-behavioral treatment of childhood anxiety disorders. The three parts of anxiety will be discussed in detail:physiological (body), cognitive (thoughts), and behavioral, and the treatment of each component will be discussed in detail. Participants will learn specific techniques, including relaxation strategies, positive self-talk, conquer worry techniques and worry tapes, uncertainty training, challenging cognitive distortions, metacognitive therapy, and how to address the typical avoidance behavior seen in children with anxiety.
