Anxiety doesn’t always look like this.
I led a workshop today for parents of kids with anxiety, and shared some resources, and I’m including them here, too, so anyone can access this information anytime.
Books
- Cornelia Maude Spelman: When I feel Worried/Scared/Missing You https://amzn.to/3rWjQTZ

(*) I know this book is a bit of an odd duck in the list, but I really think it’s a great book. Very readable, very informative about trauma and the brain.
