HPSY.RU / .. / .. / Workshop: The Anxious Client

To be human is to experience anxiety.  As practitioners we encounter anxiety in many forms including overt panic attacks and phobias as well as in less distinct but still pervasive everyday anxieties.

Existential anxiety is a universal phenomenon that relates to our deep-seated response to living in an uncertain world.  Philosophers from Kierkegaard to Sartre wrote copiously about anxiety, dread, bad faith and angst while practitioners such as Yalom, May and van Deurzen have written about how acknowledging anxiety is related to meaning and an essential part of assuming responsibility. This two day workshop will explore the existential approach to working with anxiety and how this knowledge helps us to work with our clients.

Certificates for Professional Development hours will be available on completion of all workshops and courses.
