A brief description about this Activity.
Most clinical approaches conceptualize and approach anxiety as a disorder, which inadvertently creates barriers to delivery of evidence-based care. While symptoms of anxiety are generally unwanted and uncomfortable, this facet of human experience can be (and often is) a catalyst to thriving. Anxiety can provide opportunities to enhance our relationships with ourselves and others, while increasing resilience to face adversity. Specifically, anxiety can increase our self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance; enable us to embrace our vulnerability and need for close relationships; and help us to accept uncertainty and the limits of our control. This workshop will present how cognitive-behavioral and emotionally focused therapeutic techniques can be framed through the lens of “thriving with anxiety” to disseminate effective therapeutic techniques within a positive psychology framework.
