Publisher's Summary

Over seven million kids in the US suffer from serious anxiety, and that figure has doubled since the pandemic. But 90 percent of kids treated for anxiety using exposure therapy are now experiencing a better quality of life. Could it be the answer for you and your family? Are you concerned that exposure therapy may be too harsh or cruel?

There are a lot of misconceptions out there when in fact this therapy approach does not have to be scary or worrying at all.

Knowing what to expect and discussing a treatment plan with a trained and experienced exposure therapist is a great option for an anxious child.

Have you tried what you can to help your child and feel like you might be at your wit's end? Sometimes dealing with a child or teen’s fears can be exhausting for the parents too. Does it worry you that their life will be so limited and restricted if you let their fears continue to control them? What kind of future could your children have when they are so scared of things that aren’t, in reality, that dangerous? What does this mean for the rest of their life?

If these are daily concerns of yours, then exposure therapy may just be the bridge between your anxious, stressed child and their happiness—and this guide will help you cross it.

In this supportive and incredibly useful audiobook, you will discover:

  • Why exposure therapy is nothing to fear or worry about, and how it can be an effective method for dealing with fears, phobias, and even PTSD
  • What to expect in each exposure therapy session, and how to find an exposure therapist who is right for you and your child
  • Some of the common reasons why anxiety therapy does not work, and how to avoid these pitfalls
  • Why children get so afraid of everyday, non-threatening things and situations
  • What fears kids have at different ages and stages
  • Just how serious childhood fears are, and how fear affects the brain, body, and your child’s future—it won’t just “go away” by itself

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What the critics say

"As a clinician with clients who are sometimes children, this book...came in handy because the steps are easy to follow and implement during therapy sessions. Seriously, speaking, the most important thing a parent wants to achieve is a peaceful home environment, and that's exactly the results you'll get." (Dr. Darnetha Chester, author, speaker, mental health therapist, and spiritual practitioner)

"The author has done amazing research and provided great tools to help. This book is great for parents, teachers, and other caregivers, really anyone!" (M. Hill, school counselor and school board member)

"As an educator of students with learning needs, I found the information in this book almost invaluable. Well-researched but also written in an easy, flowing narrative style, James has really come into her own here." (Rob Lockett, author of Resurrection)

Title Misled Me

I was looking for some ways that I could help my child to overcome her phobias. Of course I know of the existence of professionals who can do this as well, but I wanted to learn some things that I could do to help her - this book provides very little of that.

If you want a overview of parenting techniques and concepts regarding mental health, this book offer that. It does not, however, provide any useful information regarding what YOU can do to help your child overcome their anxiety in 10 weeks. It offers almost no practical guidance on conducting any kind of therapeutic exercise with anyone at all. It may as well be a pamphlet in a psychologists office.
