Making Sense of Anxiety
Nearly a century ago, Sigmund Freud pinpointed the problem of anxiety as pivotal to making sense of ourselves. He wrote " there is no question that the problem of anxiety is a nodal point at which the most various and important questions converge, a riddle whose solution would be bound to throw a flood of light on our whole mental existence" (Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, 1917, page 393)
The time has finally come to be able to answer the problem of anxiety. What makes it possible now is that we currently have enough pieces of the puzzle to create a coherent picture: a mastery of attachment theory, an understanding of human vulnerability, a working knowledge of attention, and the discoveries of neuroscience. Possessing the pieces are not enough however. It takes a theorist's mind to put the pieces together and a seasoned therapist's wisdom to test this model against human experience.
Dr. Neufeld has been uniquely positioned, not only to answer this question but also to understand the implications for our children. The picture that emerges from his integrative synthesis resonates with current research as well as natural intuition. The resulting solutions are surprising, not in that they are counter intuitive but rather that they run counter to the prevailing practice.
The focus of this course is the anxiety of our children and what we can do about this, both as a society and as the adults responsible for them. The dynamics and insights however apply to all ages.
This course includes 4 hours of video material by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, which students will watch independently, access to the Neufeld Institute Virtual campus and supplemental material, as well as 5 group support sessions with Amy Prestia. The support sessions focus on deepening the understanding of theory and gaining insight into how it applies within your own family. The support session meetings will start on Thursday, March 13 and will run for 5 consecutive weeks.
