Case Formulation and Exposure & Response Prevention for Social Anxiety - 2 CPD Hours
Social Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems affecting approximately one in eight people during the course of their life. This video covers two key aspects of its treatment - firstly the development and importance of a shared case formulation with the client (Joanne) and secondly the key role of exposure and the elimination of safety behaviours in its successful treatment using a well-researched CBT approach. In the case illustration fear of blushing along with the associated safety behaviours of heavy makeup use, covering of the face with hair and clothes and their elimination are examined. Detailed guidance and discussion is provided as part of the post session discussion along with its clear demonstration in work with Joanne.
