a very interesting talk on anxiety disorders. Great lecturer. Interesting how the disorder is genetic and environmental and can be triggered in a vulnerable situation or experience. Upbringing can be a factor

Awesome lecture

The topic was covered well with interesting cases to reflect on. This lecturer uses stories often as her teaching method. There are narratives that we can all relate to in our practice. This helps reinforce the content Im learning and helps it stick in my mind for later reference when working with individuals who have Anxiety Disorders. Thank You
