Testimonials

We had great success with the Turnaround program. Our six year old was having a terrible time with starting kindergarten. We were prompted by his teacher to seek professional help. We first went to the Psychology Department for appointments as we, the parents, both work at a well known clinic. We found the appointments to be unhelpful and “over his head”. They seemed to focus on us, the parents, and were not on the level of our child at all. My Husband found the CDs online and we ordered them. Our son loved them and could really relate to the characters and messages. He still asks to listen to them and he is entirely over his fear of school. He is still afraid of dogs and we may go through the series again (third time) with that as our focus. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful resource! Rochester Mom

My daughter and I have LOVED the Turnaround program! She is 11 and it has been very fun to listen to the CDs together, giving us a common language with which to discuss her worries. It has helped her talk more openly about her fears, and helped me to have more insight as to what is going on inside of her. She listens to the Chill Kit CD every night and has found more peace in her life due to her use of the tools she has learned. Thank you SO much! Mom from Washington

We ordered your program for our 9-year-old daughter. I am happy to report that your program literally changed her life. Last year we moved from a little rural town in the Midwest to a bustling community in California. We also experienced a family tragedy in our extended family. Fast-forward to December and it seemed to all come out at once. She was expressing many irrational thoughts. It scared me so much! I found your program online. My husband and I agreed to try it while bringing our daughter’s teacher into the loop. She also referred us to the school psychologist who met with her one time. She was ½ way through Turnaround when she talked to the school psych. The counselor was so impressed with her progress and her ability to talk about her anxiety openly that she asked our daughter if she would be willing to share her story with other children.

Today our daughter is doing so great, and so am I! We learned so much about what triggers anxiety and why we feel “yucky feelings”. She physically looks happier…her body language and face are so much lighter. I truly believed that my daughter has gained life-long skills through your program. We cannot thank you enough for sharing your expertise in helping kids with anxiety. California

Turnaround has been a wonderful tool in helping to educate our family about anxieties and how they have affected our oldest daughter. She’s only 5 years old, but her worries have made her seem much older. We used this program to get us through some very difficult months and our daughter found it not only extremely helpful, but also very enjoyable. She wanted to work on the program every evening so we had to do our best to pace ourselves. We found that whenever we encountered a difficult situation, we used the key words and expressions – oh, and characters, to put her feelings into something she could better relate to. It definitely helped and continues to help her cope!
I’m grateful for the program and have already recommended it to friends and a therapist. Kari and Jeff

My daughter is an elective mute who will not speak to certain people including her schoolteachers and as a result becomes quite anxious when she can’t tell her teacher how she is feeling. She has also went through a phase where she clung onto me and would sob when I tried to leave her at school. I tried everything but could not calm her worries and anxiety until my partner discovered Turnaround. My daughter and I listened to the first cd the day it arrived and found it fun and interesting and my daughter loved the journal exercises too. From day one my daughter started to open up and speak about her feelings and by day five there were no more tears when I left her at school and she seemed much more confident and happy. I am so very pleased with her progress. Even though she still doesn’t speak to certain people she has come along way. I will still be using turnaround because it’s amazing how her confidence is growing. Thank you. Gillian T, United Kingdom

I heard about the program from friends who used it for their child. My two boys who were so frustrated about everything around them. We moved to the USA a year and a half ago and they have been so brave, so tough about moving and relocating but I understood that on the inside they were upside down. New language, new friends, new schools, new house, new, new, new….

I started the Turnaround program with them in the same room but after two CDs I decided to work with them separately. They identified their anxieties and they were not the same. My 12 year old thought the program was childish and he struggled through the whole program. He said he would never do it if I hadn’t promised them a reward. Maybe its connected to that my 12 year old didn’t think he had any problems to solve. My 10 year old also thought it was a bit childish but he could listen more with an open mind.

Well we did one CD a week and did some of the journal work and discussed the content after each CD. I told them I also learned a lot about myself and we could also see other parts in people around us. We ended the program just before our vacation in July and they got a kneeboard as a gift after we were done.

I really would like to say to you, Thank You! I’m so grateful that I found this program and that I could end the negative spiral that we had started. The program helped me to put words for myself of what was going on and it also gave the boys words for what was happening within them. We got a vocabulary that we could use when situations occurred that needed to be addressed. My 10 year old stopped his anger, yelling and his outbursts nearly at once. Even before we came to the chill CD. My 12 year old got most help when we came to the chill CD. I would say that this has helped us the most. How to chill down when everything is overwhelming. But the whole program was a fantastic journey to do with them. I recommend it to other moms when we speak about our children. I have also met with the counselor and told her about the program. Thank you very much and good luck with your future work! Marie, NC
