How to utilize Stimulus Discrimination Training (aka Then v. Now) and Imagery Rescripting to help socially anxious clients overcome the impact of upsetting self-images and core beliefs stemming from social trauma. This is a webinar presented on January 28, 2020 by the Social Anxiety Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), which is a joint project with the National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC).
NOTE ON LEVEL OF PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE: This webinar is designed for those who have already been trained in at least the basics of cognitive-behavioral therapies in any of its variants, such as cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and exposure therapy.
