The Attack Anxiety workshop helps students better understand their struggles with anxiety, and learn new ways of pursuing a full and meaningful life. This semi-structured group utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which teaches students to see their personal experiences and relationships from different perspectives, and to act in valued ways that allow them to relate differently to anxious feelings, depressed moods, worrying thoughts, and self-defeating behaviors. Four total sessions, recurring through the semester.
While this is an open workshop, and you may join any of the sessions that fit your schedule, the content does build on skills reviewed in previous weeks, so you will see the most benefit by attending all meetings.
