When 10 yo Jack came to us in March of 2018, he had withdrawn from school and was being home schooled due to the severity of his anxiety.
According to his mom, Jack had always been a high strung and anxious kid, but that in the last couple of years, it had become the controlling force in his life, especially at school. After a long battle, they decided to try home schooling as a temporary measure and put Jack in counseling.
Months later he hadn’t improved and even bringing up the subject of going back to regular school caused anxiety and fights.
Jack’s mom came to us to see if neurofeedback might help get his anxiety under control before they tried medication.
The results exceeded even our expectations when after 15 sessions, Jack brought up returning to school on his own to his parents! He has shown increased confidence and as an added bonus, has shown better emotional control overall in addition to the improvement in anxiety. He has improved so much that he has decided to return to school after summer break!
