After watching these two remarkable sessions with a woman who is afraid of flying, you’ll surely be wondering, “Well, how did the flight go?” (She was leaving for a flight right after her second session with Wilson). Without giving too much away, we’re pleased to report that the work she did with Wilson in these two sessions made a huge difference, and she updated us that she managed without medication, didn’t feel nearly as much panic as she usually does, and she was able to talk herself down fairly quickly when anxiety arose. She also shared that she was amazed by her progress and all that she was able to do. Pretty impressive for just two sessions! Once you see Wilson in action, you’ll understand how to help your own clients make similar progress with their phobias.
By watching this video you will:
- Learn the core concepts of Wilson’s approach to treating phobias.
- Understand how to conduct a highly focused assessment.
- Identify tools for facilitating habituation through exposure therapy techniques.
