Understanding the False Alarm Cycle -Virtual

CE Hours 1

About this live event

This training provides mental health and behavioral health providers with a practical framework for understanding how anxiety can become self-reinforcing. Participants will explore the False Alarm Cycle and learn how triggers, anxious thoughts, physical sensations, emotions, avoidance, reassurance seeking, and safety behaviors can interact to maintain anxiety. Using real-world clinical examples, providers will learn how to recognize anxiety patterns and apply practical, CBT-informed strategies including cognitive reframing, coping skills, and gradual approach behaviors. The training emphasizes helping clients respond differently to anxiety rather than relying on avoidance or waiting for anxiety to disappear.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify and describe the connections between triggers, thoughts, body sensations, emotions, behaviors, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking in at least one example of OCD or anxiety.
  • Analyze and map the OCD or anxiety cycle in at least three common situations, including tests, social situations, separation, school avoidance, or making mistakes.
  • Explain at least two appropriate strategies, such as reframing, coping skills, or gradual approach behaviors, and identify when a referral for additional support may be needed.
