My 8 year old son has extreme anxiety and is currently taking meds for this. In addition, he has other mental challenges that I believe prevented him from getting past day two of the therapy. He often experiences paranoia and was convinced that listening to the sessions was opening the door to thought insertion. He refused to listen.
I listened while he was listening and felt that for another child, without his added issues, this therapy would have likely been effective. Because of his other challenges, there aren’t any therapists in our area that will agree to treat him. I really had high hopes… still nowhere to turn for help.
