About Alison's new book, The Anxiety Healer's Guide for Clinicians: Over 85 Cognitive Behavioral Strategies to Help Anxious Clients Calm the Mind and Body
 
A $34.99 value, included with your CE upgrade purchase


The Anxiety Healer's Guide for Clinicians
"I love the workbook! It has been so useful already and I have had it for less than a week."

Anxiety looks different for everyone. A personalized approach to treatment is key.

Help clients tackle their anxiety head-on by working with them to create a tailored anxiety toolkit. In The Anxiety Healer's Guide for Clinicians, you'll find customizable, holistic interventions that empower clients to actively engage in their own healing process long after they've left your office.

Created by one of Instagram's most followed therapists, @theanxietyhealer Alison Seponara, this comprehensive resource is filled with practical, concrete strategies you can use to help anxious clients create a unique toolkit that works specifically for their needs.

With over 85 worksheets, handouts, and in-session activities inside, clients can choose from:

  • Cognitive behavioral exercises to rewire anxious tendencies
  • Breathing and grounding techniques to calm moments of worry and panic
  • Journaling tools to reframe unhelpful thought patterns
  • Affirmations and mirror work techniques to overcome self-doubt
  • Guided imagery and visualization strategies to distract the anxious mind
  • And more!

By empowering clients to take charge of their anxiety, rather than being passive recipients of treatment, you can help them feel like they are part of a team, and in the driver's seat, on their path to well-being.
