Every health professional will experience clients who are struggling with anxiety in some form or other. In fact, as professionals, we may well also experience our own challenges with this. TA has been used very effectively with working with this client group and can be used in a wide range of contexts and client presentations.

Ganna has personal experience of working with many clients presenting with anxiety as well as holding and managing her own fear response. In this workshop Ganna will share her own thinking developed from using concepts from TA and Psychoanalysis. During the workshop participants will be invited to think about the core of the anxious self, the potential causes and origins of pervading anxiety and look at models that can help us to manage our own process and work with clients more effectively considering the therapeutic steps to take.

Together we will consider what we might term as authentic fear (i.e. experiencing a life-threatening event) or where anxiety might be a defensive, learnt response. We will consider the role of the early relationship in script anxiety fixation and how to adjust our interventions to the needs of our clients.
