Help Your Clients Face Their Fears: High-Impact CBT Strategies for Successful Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy can be one of the most powerful and effective tools for helping clients overcome anxiety. But many therapists hesitate to use it - or struggle to make it work - because clients may feel resistant, fearful, ambivalent, or unwilling to fully engage in the process. 

When exposure is introduced before laying the necessary groundwork, clients may avoid the assignment, drop out, or complete the exercise without experiencing meaningful change. For exposure therapy to be successful, clients often need careful preparation, strong motivation, and a clear understanding of the thoughts and fears that keep them stuck. 

In this free 1-hour CE webinar, Mike Christensen, MACP, Level 5 TEAM-CBT Master Trainer and Therapist and Global Clinical Director of the Feeling Good Institute, will teach and demonstrate high-impact CBT strategies therapists can use to help clients become more ready and willing to face their fears. 

You'll learn practical ways to overcome resistance, strengthen motivation, identify the core anxious thoughts that drive avoidance, and set up exposure exercises that are targeted, collaborative, and meaningful. 

Rather than simply asking clients to "do exposure," this webinar will show you how to prepare clients for exposure in a way that increases engagement, reduces avoidance, and helps them experience more powerful learning. 

This webinar is designed for therapists who want to sharpen their CBT skills and feel more confident helping anxious clients move from avoidance to action.
