Summary:
Anxiety and prolonged stress are increasingly prevalent, impacting the mental health of millions. However, neuroscience has shown that the brain can be retrained to manage and reduce anxiety effectively. This workshop explores the neurobiological underpinnings of anxiety, examining how the brain and autonomic nervous system respond to stress. Psychologists, licensed mental health professionals, medical professionals, coaches, and ministry leaders will focus on the two primary brain pathways that contribute to anxiety, detailing how these circuits can be rewired through targeted interventions. Attendees will gain insight into the interplay between the limbic and autonomic nervous systems, which triggers fight, flight or freeze responses. By employing evidence-based top-down and bottom-up strategies and faith-based help for Christian clients, clinicians will learn practical, science-backed techniques to help clients reduce anxiety and regulate their nervous systems.
