Duration 13mins 25secs
TAKE THE QUIZ:
In this session, Dr Sia Bandarian investigates the cycle of anxiety. He explores different situations that may cause anxiety and explains how some behaviours which reduce our anxiety in the short-term are not effective and can keep perpetuating our anxiety. Dr Sia examines three main ways we might temporarily reduce anxiety that remains problematic in the long-term. He discusses the physical and mental avoidance of anxiety and the crushing of our fears. Dr Sia provides us with skills and techniques we can use to reduce our anxiety in the long-term rather than the short-term, highlighting the importance of gradually beginning to expose ourselves to our fears.
