Anxiety can create chaos in our minds and lives. When children struggle with anxiety, it can heighten parental anxiety as well. This group will equip you with tools to support both yourself and your child, allowing you to take control rather than feeling overwhelmed.

Based on the book Anxious Parents, Anxious Kids by Reid Wilson and Lynn Lyons, we will explore:

  • Differentiating between normal worry and anxiety
  • Retraining the brain
  • Calming the body
  • Encouraging courage

Group Agenda:

  • Week 1: Introduction to Group Therapy; Understanding Worry vs. Anxiety
  • Week 2: Calming the Body - Self-Soothing Techniques
  • Week 3: Connecting to Regulate the Nervous System
  • Week 4: Your Role in Your Child's Journey
