Introduction
In order for us to be effective at treating anxiety, we first must have a better understanding of it. What is anxiety, exactly? What is it a function of? How many of us have felt or have been taught that anxiety was not something we had control of, but rather was something we could only manage because the cause of it was external to us?
Despite the fact that anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions our patients and clients deal with, we still do not have an adequate response to resolve it entirely.
But, what if we did?
What if we stopped focusing on managing the symptoms of anxiety, and instead, worked to get to the root cause of anxiety... and, what if we actually discovered that anxiety is completely within our control and we can help end the suffering of our patients and clients, and ourselves. Please join us, and let's work together to end anxiety.
Friends: We look forward to continuing to serve you; so you help cease suffering for our patients and clients; and so you help elevate your agency, yourself, and the field as a whole.

Here's what attendees have been saying about SWEET seminars:
"I now feel I have more tools and concepts to think about in working with anxiety. Empowerment of our clients I think is a very effective tool." - Jeanne, LCSW
"Substituting vs. Reframing - bringing clarity to both. As well as lots of great new approaches to treatment of Anxiety, i.e. Thought Proactivity. I've done 8 weeks of CBT Anxiety Training with another institution, but this seems to be a lot more practical and easy to work with. Thanks Mardoche & Karen. You guys are awesome!" - Feona, LCSW
"There is an enormous amount of information to cover on this topic. I truly appreciate the level of Dr. Sidor's knowledge. Looking forward to implementing my skills in the future! I am delighted to be a new member: bravo, SWEET!" - Kim, LMSW
"A good understanding of what is behind anxiety. Good presentation and new ways of looking at anxiety that I had not heard before." - Jennifer, LICSW
"I believe I can and certainly will use the techniques and working with my patients who have significant issues with anxiety. Some of the most helpful techniques include getting the patient to buy into the treatment approach, including actions that need to be taken, follow-up, screening for the various manifestations of feelings, thoughts, behavior, attitudes, and perceptions in treating anxiety. I also find it very helpful to remember the instructor's reminders to provide clients with manageable tasks that can lead to successful behavior change and such, that improve the quality of life for them." - Louis, LCSW
