Anxiety disorders are currently the most commonly diagnosed mental illness and can sometimes be a challenge to address completely within the confines of a session. Writing and literature, both in and out of session, can serve important functions in the role of ego support and enhancement as well as to assist in externalizing and concretizing patient concerns.
Join us for this three-hour didactic and experiential workshop to learn a variety of writing structures and prompts to help both contain and explore anxiety, methods to encourage clients’ positive coping through writing as well as how these methods can serve as a form of desensitization or cognitive rehearsal. Specific attention will be given to some of the research based on ways in which writing practices impact neurological processes. This workshop equips participants with beginning skills applicable to a range of client populations, though additional training in therapeutic writing and poetry therapy are needed for in-depth work.
