Our 9 year old twin daughters have been struggling with anxiety for a while which got to a point where one of them couldn’t go to sleep at night. We had tried a number of books and programs which help explain what anxiety is and how to deal with it. Even though these had been useful, Turnaround Anxiety, is probably the best program we have used. We found that the explanation of the science behind anxiety was very well explained in Turnaround Anxiety, in a way that children can understand. We also really liked that Turnaround Anxiety is realistic in how difficult it can be to take steps to turn around anxiety. It tells the children that it won’t be easy, but that they can do it.
The ‘steps of exposure’ that are explained and used in the emetophobia supplement are brilliant. It is the first practical help that we could find for exposure for emetophobia and other anxieties.
The ‘chill kit’ is the best thing ever. These are recordings which help the children relax with deep breathing and muscle relaxation. We have these on a tablet, next to the girls bed and they use it every night to go to sleep. If they wake up during the night in a state of panic we also use these.
We still have a way to go with dealing with the anxiety, but we have come a long way, for which we thank the Lord! The 10 day program isn’t an instant cure, as the steps taught in the program can take weeks or months to teach/apply, but progress can be seen on the way.
The absolute best thing about this program is that the Dr’s Chris and David willingly communicate with you and help you through, when you have questions. Having someone to ‘talk’ to, who understands what you are dealing with and can give specific advice, has been the most valuable for us as parents!! Thank you Dr Chris and Dr David!
