Our sit-down with Dr. Joseph will give you the tools to deal with that stress and anxiety and overcome insomnia. First, you’ll learn about the science of sleep, when sleep issues become an actual sleep disorder, and why stress can affect your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. You’ll also learn self-help strategies for getting a good night’s sleep, how to find the right sleep specialist, and all the treatment options available for anxiety and sleep disorders. This class will teach you how to cope with stress and sleep soundly.

Psychiatric Interviews for Teaching: Anxiety

anxiety No Comments »

In this film, the GP is seeing a patient who has presented several times before with complaints of palpitations and shortness of breath.

The patient describes the onset of her problems, which was a panic attack. She has then gone on to develop agoraphobia. The problem has affected a number of areas of her life.

The GP explores the patient’s understanding of the problem and it is apparent that she has attributed this to a problem with her heart. The GP then goes on to give the patient an alternative explanation; that this is anxiety. She describes the physiological symptoms of anxiety and explains why avoidance is a problem.

Please note that this video has been made by the University of Nottingham for teaching purposes. The psychiatrist is a real psychiatrist but the patient is played by an actor.

What is the Cycle of Anxiety?

anxiety No Comments »

What is the Cycle of Anxiety?

When left untreated and unaddressed, anxiety has a tendency to grow. This is explained by the cycle of anxiety.

When the uncomfortable symptoms of anxiety feel like too much, one of the simplest ways to feel better is avoidance. This means avoiding the source of anxiety, or numbing the uncomfortable feelings. The good news is, avoidance works… for a little bit. The bad news is, the relief that avoidance brings is temporary, and the anxiety tends to come back worse than before.

You can rewire your brain to be less anxious through a simple, but not easy, process. Understanding the anxiety cycle and how avoidance causes anxiety to spiral out of control unlocks the key to learning how to tone down anxiety and rewire those neural pathways to feel safe and secure.
In this video, I teach three essential things you need to understand about anxiety, three steps to face and overcome anxiety, and how the brain can actually change (rewire) its structure, function, and chemistry when you change how you think and act.

About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, Positive Psychology, and a Bio-Psycho-Social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR) and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview, sense of security, peace, hope, and love. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe
