This is a description.

When dealing with anxious children, clinicians use breathing, calming, or other distraction techniques. Children and teens feel more hopeless than engaged when focusing on getting rid of the worry. When we use short relaxation practices with children to shift their patterns and beliefs, we create great opportunities for change, engagement, and skill-building. In this hour, I’ll show you how to get the most out of these exercises without getting into the trap of elimination.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Describe the risks of using elimination strategies with anxious kids and teens.
2. Create short and focused experiential recordings to use with anxious clients.
3. Utilize relaxation as a way for anxious children to step toward active exposure practice in treatment.
