In ep. 7 of the weekly podcast series Calm, Clear & Helpful Morag describes

- what anxiety is, when it plays a vital role and when it becomes overwhelming
- how a child who seems difficult or rude may be experiencing acute anxiety
- how children can be helped to feel at ease during therapy

- the story of Madeline*, Ella’s mom, who needed help regarding a lack of self-esteem
- whether a parent or other person can sit in on BWRT® sessions

I was going to wait for World Su***de Prevention Day to post this (which happens to be the 10th September by the way) but guess what, su***de and depression don't wait for an awareness day to make themselves known. For those of us who have been robbed of the chance to make a difference to someone we know, or love, the pain can be eternal.

Get help, seek help, never be afraid to call a friend.
Take care and be safe.
