Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for health anxiety
Presented by SickKids CCMH Learning Institute
Live webinar: April 5, 2022 | 9 a.m. to noon
Facilitator: Noah Lazar, PhD, C.Psych.
This training is suitable for mental health professionals and medical professionals who have a background in CBT and work with adult clients.
Health anxiety is often the fear that one is ill, or that one will become ill in the future, despite being in good health. Often the uncertainty surrounding the future or certain physical symptoms can increase this anxiety, and, during a pandemic, this anxiety can become more prevalent.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a gold standard treatment for many anxiety disorders. This webinar will discuss the conceptualization of health anxiety, as well as both cognitive and behavioural strategies to address it.
Learning objectives:
- Understanding the CBT conceptualization of health anxiety
- Developing cognitive strategies to challenge anxious thinking and beliefs
- Developing behavioural strategies, such as exposure and response prevention exercises, to manage health anxiety
Registration fees: $125. Student and group rates are available.
