Facilitator - Maureen Connolly

Have you ever considered that you might owe your life to anxiety? Learn how to deal with anxiety in your everyday life and learn about tools that will help you deal with specific types of anxiety.

In the fall sessions Dr. Hendrickson helped us identify and understand the causes and symptoms of numerous anxiety disorders. She taught us various tools and exercises we could employ to help us treat our own anxiety. Now, in the winter sessions, Dr. Hendrickson will walk us through exercises that will help us deal with Social Anxiety, OCD, Perfectionism and Self Criticism.  She will also give us tools to help us address uncertainty as well as avoid procrastination.

Lastly, we will be introduced to Dr. Christopher Miller of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.  He will answer questions about the types of medication, their effects on the brain, their efficacy and so much more and explore the boundaries between everyday anxiety and clinically significant anxiety that is experienced by about one third of the population in their lifetime.
