Our 11-year-old son attended Sharon’s anxiety management group. The group sessions helped him to understand how his brain works and develop positive self-talk, which has been instrumental in helping my son cope with a new school, and his sensitivity in social situations. We have seen an amazing turn-around in our son – Sharon’s counsel, insight, and ability to connect with him has been key to his success.

A few encouraging things in the last few days that I thought I’d share. Yesterday, our son managed to enter a men’s washroom at the beach by himself, which is the first time he has done so. He was initially very reluctant, but we used the language you’ve taught him. Yay! Tonight we talked about going to school tomorrow to practice using and flushing the toilets there, armed with several of the strategies you have taught him. His enthusiasm about the fact that he could see the value of something you taught him seems so important – not only does it show his receptiveness but it shows me that he feels ‘helpable’. This is a big change from before when he stated clearly that he didn’t think anyone could help him with his fears.
