Dr. Micah Sadigh Anxiety Series
The Mental Health Team at Central Moravian Church is pleased to announce a two-part fall series presented by Dr. Micah Sadigh. The first will be on Wednesday evening, September 28th from 7-8:30 p.m., in Hybrid format and live at the C. E. building. A link will be sent to people who register. Additional information will be provided after Labor Day through a Mission Moment, along with The Sunday Times and Constant Contact.
The following is an outline by Dr Sadigh for his first presentation: Anxiety, Uncertainty, and Human Existence: From Symptom Management to Creativity, Micah Sadigh, Professor of Psychology, Cedar Crest College.
Anxiety, defined as fear of the unknown, is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It emerges from and is woven into the fabric of what makes us self-conscious beings. Although its symptoms can be ameliorated or even subdued temporarily, anxiety will remain a part of our orientation toward possibilities. Such possibilities can potentially overwhelm and cripple us, or they can offer us solutions to our existing problems through innovative means. In this talk, we will explore the many dimensions of anxiety and how a sense of identity and meaning play a critical role in transforming it into a source of creativity, which can ultimately contribute to the betterment of humanity.
The second of this series will be Wednesday evening, October 26th, same time, same place, same format. The content of the second presentation will be determined in part by feedback and questions generated from the first presentation.
We very much look forward to hearing Micah’s discussion about how we have dealt with and will continually deal with anxiety during these very difficult times.
