About The Training

Anxiety is often perceived as ‘the easy thing to manage’ as society continually tell us to “just relax and take a breath.”

To many, this phrase is a kind and compassionate reminder but to some, it’s a dismissive gesture that discounts how difficult it really is to manage anxiety in a world that upholds systems of oppression.

Individuals that are riddled with intense feelings of anxiety are often caught between a rock and a hard place.

They are encouraged to let go of the ‘way they’ve always been’ and replace & manage maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns with unsustainable coping strategies.

How do you manage anxiety within a society that supports behaviors that are causing you so much anguish?

Perfectionism, competition, avoidance, and procrastination to name a few.

In this presentation, we will explore how outdated approaches to managing a complex phenomenon like anxiety are not helpful and also consider how these approaches tend to perpetuate systems of oppression.

Participants will be encouraged to consider how they currently respond to and treat anxiety in their various client settings and challenge themselves to consider how they are perpetuating characteristics of white supremacy myth when working in collaboration with clients who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.
