Anxiety and stress are normal parts of life, though excessive anxiety causes needless suffering and can prevent one from achieving their potential. This 90-minute program will provide information about the underlying causes of anxiety within a biological, psychological and social context. Participants will then learn evidence-based, cognitive behavioral strategies to decrease physiological arousal, improve sleep, and to keep the mind calm and focused.  Essentially, the skills learned in this program are basic steps to leading a healthier, balanced life in the face of anxiety. The program is run by Donald Zaksek, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy. You can view Dr. Zaksek’s profile and background at integrativea2.com.
