Exposure Therapy for Children and Adolescents

Help Your Child Control their Anxiety Disorders, Phobias, and OCD Within 10 Weeks

De: Lulu James

Narrado por: Shauna Hargrove

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

From Chaos To Calm

I must admit when I first heard of exposure therapy, it did sound a bit daunting. Mt 9-year-old daughter does seem quite anxious at times and being her dad, I want the best for her, so I delved into it more and got this book. There is nothing to fear by engaging in effective methods of therapy as the fears that children have tend not to go away by themselves.

This is a well-thought-out book with lots of great advice. Your child may or may not be helped by exposure therapy but if you are worried, it may be worth a try. This book is well-produced and the narration is good.

A must-read for parents

This book by Lulu James touches on a topic that is definitely top-of-mind for most parents of young children and teens. Anxiety, phobias and depression are ever more prevalent in kids in this day and age. Exposure Therapy for Kids provides a source of hope and much greater understanding of what kids are going through, why they are experiencing these symptoms and alternative solutions to anxiety that does not involve medication. Highly recommend!

Enlightening!

I think this subject needs to be talked about more. As a parent myself I always want the best for my children and exposure therapy might be something that can be of benefit to them. There is no need to be scared even though that is a natural thing that happens with our body. Overall I found this book to be extremely helpful!

A valuable book about anxiety in children

As a parent, I've been through many times when I don't know exactly what my child is upset about. This book explains anxiety, fear, phobia, and their causes in children. Listening to this audiobook was very helpful for me and I recommend it. It also has a great narration.

Well done

This book gives a great breakdown on a subject that I never knew existed. It talks about how to cure fears and phobias in children. And I especially enjoyed the tricks that I could use on myself.
