Quick REMAP — Level 2 Workshop

Quick REMAP — Level 2:

Mind-Body Emotional Regulation
for
Anxiety, Anger, Sadness & Shame

___________________________________

This workshop integrates elements of exposure therapy, mindfulness, systematic

desensitization and psycho-physiological interventions such as evidence-based breath regulation and evidence-based acupressure to soothe the sympathetic nervous system and to down-regulate the amygdala.  The combined effect of these interventions is used to target subcortical conditioned responses for desensitization and counter-conditioning.  This approach is primarily behavioral in nature but this seminar also builds on the cognitive components from Level 1 and offers additional cognitive interventions.  It offers specific resources in the treatment of anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame.  It also provides training in two inventories for measuring emotional regulation outcomes.

• Practice mind-body, behavioral interventions to regulate sadness and/or shame
• Practice variations on the three-part cognitive intervention to regulate emotional distress fueled by the thinking brain
• Review therapeutic questions/statements that keep the process mind-body focused
• Identify two inventories for measuring emotional regulation outcomes
