Weekend Workshop (thursday eve to Sunday afternoon) Workshop With Dr. Todd Pressman, Ph.D.
International Presenter, Psychologist, and Author of “Deconstructing Anxiety”
During these turbulent times, the anxiety we feel about the coronavirus is itself going viral.
This can compound other anxiety (or depression, relationship issues, financial worries, etc.) we may already be struggling with.
The challenge before us is to adjust to the extraordinary changes all around with clarity, grace and calm.
Now, more than ever, we need the right tools to find our deep center, and expand beyond our fear!
A VIRTUAL Weekend Seminar Online
Deconstructing Anxiety is a groundbreaking seminar for rapidly uncovering the root causes of anxiety in even your most difficult clients. You will learn never-before-presented techniques for releasing the resistances that keep anxiety alive, getting at their source and transforming them into a sense of high purpose and meaning, yielding powerful change and lasting results.
With the revolutionary understanding that anxiety (fear) is at the root of all suffering, you will gain insight into the five core fears--“universal themes of loss”--we all share, including:
abandonment (loss of love),
loss of identity,
loss of meaning,
loss of purpose (the chance to express oneself) and
fear of death (including fear of sickness and pain).
We develop our primary defenses, usually early in childhood or at times of trauma, as our best attempt to protect ourselves from these fears, but always at too great a cost. This leaves us constantly holding vigil, on the lookout for the resurfacing of the fear. We build our entire personality upon this fear-defense dynamic. When it spins out of control, an anxiety disorder develops.
The theory and techniques offered in this workshop, such as “The Alchemist”, “The Witness” and “The Warrior’s Stance”, will teach you how to uncover the core fear and chief defense quickly and reliably.
These will be understood as the architects of personality and the creators of our perceptual world. Armed with this knowledge, new strategies for “doing the opposite” of the chief defense and its secondary defenses have proven extremely successful in even the most anxious clients.
Incorporating psychodynamics, mindfulness, Gestalt, CBT and transpersonal psychology, participants will undergo the actual techniques being presented, making for a rich and highly experiential presentation.
At the deepest level, we will pinpoint the precise moment where resistance is created and how to release it. This leads to the ultimate goal of letting go “the resistance to resistance”, a key to transforming our entire view of Self and redefining the limits of the human experience.
The way is then paved for the final section on “Vision Questing”, wherein the five core fears are fully resolved, and one may live their lives with a solid sense of identity, meaning, purpose, love and even a true freedom from the fear of death.
Come prepared for an exciting adventure into the deepest regions of the unconscious, where the hidden fears at the source of our difficulties live, to bring them out into consciousness, available for rapid and lasting transformation.
