Dear Reader, For two decades, my colleagues and I, who work with childhood anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), have been modifying our pediatric exposure therapy program to be as effective, efficient, and accessible as possible. To date, we’ve worked with thousands of families from all over the U.S. and beyond. In the fall of 2022, we completed a study demonstrating that parent-coached exposure therapy was not only more effective than other therapies for treating anxiety disorders and OCD but that it was also more efficient. The information I’ve included in Anxiety Coach is the same guidance we give families in our program at Mayo Clinic. The treatment we provide is based on the belief that a parent can learn to be an exposure coach for their child and on a model that has been informed by many years of dedicated clinical expertise and solidified by controlled research. This book will cover the following and more: What is an anxiety disorder How to recognize when anxiety becomes a problem How to respond to anxious behavior and track progress Why children need to face their fears to overcome them Exposure therapy and its practical application When to seek professional help The advice in Anxiety Coach will guide your child in building confidence so they can participate in the everyday activities they have been avoiding, and offers a detailed roadmap to a happy, healthy, anxiety-free life. |
