“Here is a
little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note: Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy”...... Bobby McFerrin
So are we worrying
too much? What makes us
worried? What keeps us worried? What can we do to worry less and
“be
happy”.
Our
speakers, Dr. Jaklov Shlik, Dr. Amy Moustgaard and Sara McConnell will
be
talking about: (a) recognizing when worry becomes a
problem; (b)
the strategies we use that keep us worried; (c) the importance of
treatment;
and (d) a CBT perspective on Generalized Anxiety Disorder and
more
effective coping strategies.
