Event Description
Anxiety in children is reaching epidemic proportions and takes many forms including obsessions, compulsions, phobias, and panic. Anxiety begs for an explanation in order to arrive at a solution that addresses the roots, not just manages the symptoms. This workshop has four parts. The first three explain unfolding a model of anxiety including the neuroscience of anxiety, attachment and vulnerability, and a working model of anxiety. The brain has as a complex and comprehensive human alarm system. Its healthy functioning depends upon a well-developed and healthy limbic system and cerebral cortex. Deficits in the limbic system and cerebral cortex can result in chronic and un-tempered alarm.A comprehensive understanding of attachment will be presented to provide the insights required to make sense of what is happening on the neurobiological level.
