As a specialist in the treatment of anxiety disorders the past four years, I have seen a lot of anxious individuals. 

I often get asked how to help someone through a panic attack.  When put on the spot, my mind used to go blank even though I’ve had lots of training and have learned how to help someone during panicking. 

What is therapy REALLY like? In response to this question, I have the permission and privilege of sharing a blog written by a client who tells the story of her journey of contemplating attending therapy and what it has been like for her since she started. May you find this blog as helpful as I did. Special thanks to the person who allowed me to share this.

“I’m worried about my kid and don’t know how to help them” is a statement I hear often in my office. Concerned parents bring their teens in for counseling because they’ve noticed behavioral changes and know their child is hurting, but often feel lost in how to help them.
