Overcoming Worry and Anxiety in Chaos and Uncertainty
Overcoming Worry and Anxiety in Chaos and Uncertainty is an online seminar designed to provide you with new ideas to train the brain, calm the stress cycle and help your client create happier and more productive life. Based on current neuroscience, the brain-change exercises demonstrated in this recording will assist your clients in taking control over their anxious minds. Watch and discover techniques that will assist your clients to dissolve their worry and stay in their best internal states (such as flow) for longer periods of time.
In this seminar you will learn how to:
- quickly shift away from a constant state of worry
- shift the internal states to change biology
- recondition the mind to a new state of being
- unleash the brain’s super-abilities in minutes
- utilise the brain chemistry to tap into natural bliss
- trigger the resilient self
We live in a time of extremes. Pandemics, volatility, uncertainty, climate change, and the instability of political and social institutions have strained a sense of normality and security. Mental health clinicians need advanced and practical tools based in the latest neuroscience, regenerative psychology, and generative processes that work quickly to help restore inner stability and vitality and move into resilience and thriving.
This seminar focuses on a transformative approach for thriving in the chaotic conditions of 21st century life. It will present the psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on the amazing abilities humans have that are often hidden to them; the approach that moves client outcomes to a new level.
Science now knows how to help people shift the inner place from which they operate and up level human biology for transformation rather than just resolving conflicts. Managing neurochemistry to stay in positive moods, tell the self -stories of possibility, alter states, and make the impossible possible is the focus. The challenge of disruption is that it can allow us to move to a higher level of functioning with new awareness.
This seminar recording is based on the presenters’ newest book “the Worry-Free Mind” and it will delight you with wisdom, insight and tips for helping your clients in speedy recovery from worry, anxiety and stress. You will learn from the authors about:
- deep state dive to dissolve worry and rumination
- training the mind to change the emotional channels
- the neuro-wellness rituals to break through crises
- the whole brain state and banishing worry for good
- flowing into the “super mind”, and much more!
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss science-based strategies to overcome worry and anxiety.
- Describe the RESET model for the psychotherapy of lasting change.
- Identify the specific brain waves associated with resilience.
- Analyse client emotional resources to be used in healing.
- Discuss regenerative psychology, mindset, and the process for transformation.

High-stakes psychological evaluations - where careers, freedom, and public safety hang in the balance - require a level of expertise that most clinicians never encounter. Bruce Cappo has spent over three decades mastering this specialised arena, becoming one of America’s leading forensic psychologists and police psychology specialists.
As a board-certified specialist in Police and Public Safety Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), Dr. Cappo founded Clinical Associates in 1992, building it into a multidisciplinary practice serving more than 85 professionals across Kansas and Missouri. His recognition as Fellow and Past-President of both the Kansas Psychological Association and Kansas Association of Professional Psychologists reflects his leadership in advancing psychological practice at the highest levels.
Dr. Cappo's expertise spans three critical areas: forensic evaluations and consultation, risk and public safety assessments, and complex diagnostic evaluations. He provides psychological evaluations for federal agencies including DEA, ICE, TSA, and Homeland Security, while serving as consultant to multiple police departments including Overland Park Police Department. His work extends to the most challenging cases - competency evaluations, fitness for duty assessments, sex offender evaluations, and mental status determinations for federal and state courts.
What sets his training apart is real-world application under pressure. Cappo doesn't just teach assessment theory - he shows clinicians how to conduct evaluations that withstand legal scrutiny, how to write reports that inform critical decisions, and how to testify effectively in court. His experience with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, federal court systems, and high-security evaluations gives him insights that few practitioners possess.
For your practice, expect to gain specific skills in conducting forensic assessments, understanding the intersection of psychology and law, and developing the clinical judgment needed for high-stakes evaluations. His methods particularly benefit clinicians interested in forensic work, public safety psychology, or complex diagnostic cases.
Quick Win: Cappo's structured approach to fitness-for-duty evaluations helps clinicians distinguish between temporary stress responses and more serious psychological conditions that impact job performance - a distinction with major career and safety implications.
