I really liked the course. Very user friendly!

Excellent practical exercises and examples.

Good practical techniques for interventions and excellent theoretical framework. 

I found this information very useful for myself and my patients.

Great information! Thank you.

I thought this course was very good and I will immediately begin using the information.

Your courses are extremely well done. They are practical, relevant and useful. They are also presented in an easy to learn fashion with information, examples and practice. I especially like being able to print out the test and use it as I go through the course to learn. I also appreciate the sales that you have that offer the courses as even more affordable. Thank you.

It was comprehensive, well explained, useful for my practice and fun! Thanks!

In general, the course was a good review. While convenient to express learning objective in terms of "numbers of things learned", realistically, it is hard to remember more than 2-3 items however pertinent.

I learned a lot of helpful strategies to help in my practice.

This course was wonderful and full of useful information. It will help me a great deal with the wounded soldiers I work with on a daily basis.

This was a great course - I will definitely use the information provided in my practice.  Some of these techniques were new and some were not - but it will be helpful to have them bundled tidily together in this source.  The authors organized the material well which will make it easily accessible for future use.  I would highly recommend this course to anyone who works with individuals who struggle with anxiety.  Thank you PDR for making it available.

This was an excellent course...well written with good examples.

Really enjoyed the course and found it very practical in working with clients.

Very easy to read. Gave good examples and techniques, some that I hadn't heard of before. Thanks!

Although I am an experienced clinician I benefitted from the organization and review of anxiety management as well as learning some new techniques.

Clear, informative and useful for my practice.

Very good course. Lots of helpful information.

This is an excellent course that teaches many practical therapeutic tools for anxiety management.

I learned a lot. Great to have so many techniques in one place. Will be great to refer back to. Very comprehensive.

Good course.  I'd recommend it.

This is a great class  packed with techniques that are useful in a practice as well as in personal life.

I loved this course. The material is so helpful for  a lot of different practice settings.

Very informative and interesting.

I found this course to be extremely helpful and will use these techniques.

I will continue to use some of the techniques in my practice with clients. I currently use many in my techniques discussions. I enjoyed how they were presented in the training, very user friendly.

Very well thought out course. Very helpful in my practice.

Great outline and structure.

The most helpful, useful and well written CE in a long while.

Very good course for those of us working with a large population of patients with anxiety disorders.  Sometimes fresh ideas or just reminders of helpful techniques can be extremely useful.

Thank you for allowing the material to be downloaded and worked off line. Continue with the great diversity of topics and relevance to CE.

I learned quite a bit about myself and the kids that I work with.

I know I will use these techniques often. This course offered a wealth of great information.

Great practical methods that can be used with my clients and myself.

Very helpful, even essential course for my practice. Thank you!

Clearly written, easy to grasp, and a great refresher! Thanks!

Great suggestions for applying anxiety management strategies to my daily clinical practice.

Although I have some clinical experience in this subject matter, I found this course very helpful. It was clear, well organized, and provided some background and insights into some of the more effective techniques which can be used in therapy.

Excellent course of practical application

This course was an excellent reminder.

Provides many useful techniques and tools that allow a holistic approach to anxiety mamagement .

This was a well-written course. I appreciate that the effect of the interventions/practices on the client was always highlighted.

There was much that I liked in the course; the pithy opening questions of "Do you breathe?" & "Do you think?" nicely modeled an engaging approach.  The techniques were nicely presented in a coherent fashion and the material will be useful for on-going reference to brush up on the various techniques.  Three rather small points caught my tendency to precision in referencing theoretical concepts.  -Page 3 presents anxiety as "common"; if one looks to the origins of Freud's formulation of "signal anxiety" then it is more accurate to say that anxiety is fundamental and universal and, at its core, necessary for survival and beneficial.  -Page 11 states that CBT postulates that thoughts create feelings and I read that as an overstatement of the CBT premise.  Rather, thoughts influence and shape feelings.   -Page 39 references "releasing codependency"; Melody Beattie's groundbreaking presentation of the concept highlights that "co-dependency" is an intertwined dynamic of one person being dependent on a substance and the second person being dependent on the first person's problems so that the second person has a clearly defined role or sense of purpose.  If the first person overcomes the chemical dependency then the second person loses the role of "rescuer"or "victim" and, thus, the second person is as dependent of the substance as the first. This is a much more complex dynamic that over-worrying about someone else's problems. I hope these comments do not take away from my opening statement that the course has much value.

I appreciated the practical and straightforward information.

Great course. Excellent information. Will benefit me greatly professionally as well as personally.

Information in this article did not flow, I found myself having to go back and read paragraphs again and hoping to puzzle the answers together.

Not clearly written, especially as pertains to test questions and objectives. Some techniques / concepts are just reworded / phrased old ones.

A very good review on management of anxiety with lots of helpful practical exercises provided. Very user friendly CE program as well.

I taught relaxation techniques for many years and found this presentation to be a wonderful overview.

Good  course, overview and  review of  current practices.

Well organized, good description of exercises, added more tools to the toolbox. Thanks.

Great course. Very useful and  I will use exercises presented.

Practical application and relevant information.

Good reminder of how much I already know. How uncomplicated anxiety management techniques are often presented in an unclear manner ... unlike this straight forward course.

This is a good course and provides relevant information.

This course was quite comprehensive. All the information was relevant and useful to my work. It will be a very good reference for specific techniques. Thank you!

A great addition to my toolbox as a counselor. Presented in a very organized manner with examples and guidance for which interventions to use.

Been practicing for over 20 years and this was by far one of the most practical and useful online anxiety CEU's I've seen.

It always helps to have the question directly from the text to cement the information better.

Mainly I do premarital counseling now, but anxiety management will be useful as weddings get closer.

Loved the detail!

This was a great course. I look forward to going back through the material again and engaging in some of the practices! Thank you.

So practical!  I will use the materials with clients and they are presented in clear and engaging ways.

Thank you! This was a great review and summary. I'm taking away a few more exercises to use with clients.

This was superb. It has so many helpful descriptions of practices and related theory that I am printing it out to have it for reference. Thank you!
