Discover how neuroscience and relational-developmental insights can help us understand the complex human alarm system underlying anxiety and a diverse array of seemingly unrelated syndromes and symptoms. This alarm spectrum covers a vast amount of troubling territory, affecting the majority of our children and youth as well as adults. The good news is that once we understand how these syndromes come to be, we are also more informed as to how they can be reversed. Understanding these root causes enables natural, intuitive interventions that can be implemented at any age and in any setting. This approach offers an alternative to the medical disorder approach as well as the rational-emotive and cognitive approaches, with promising implications for treatment and recovery.
