Exploring Feelings: Anxiety

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to Manage Anxiety

Tony Attwood

Designed to be highly structured, interesting and successful in encouraging the cognitive control of emotions. Every participating child has a workbook for the six two-hour sessions that includes activities and information to explore the specific feelings of being happy, relaxed, anxious or angry. At the end of each session, a project is explained to the child, which is to be completed before the next session. At the start of the next session the project is discussed with the person implementing the program or the group of participants using the program. The Exploring Feelings program is designed to explore the mental world from a scientific perspective. Originally designed for small groups of two to five children 9 and 12 years, with two adults conducting the program, it can easily be modified so that it can be used with just one child. The activities can also be modified to be age appropriate for an adolescent or adult.
Intended for children with Asperger’s syndrome, the program can be equally applied to children with High Functioning Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). The author also designed the program so that it does not have to be implemented by a qualified psychologist. A teacher, speech pathologist, occupational therapist or parent could implement the program without having training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

Parenting Your Anxious Child with Mindfulness and Acceptance

A Powerful New Approach to Overcoming Fear, Panic, and Worry Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Christopher McCurry & Steven Hayes

Based on well-researched parent-child treatment programs, this book presents a set of skills parents can pass on to anxious children as young as four years old. These skills help kids learn to shift their focus away from anxious thoughts and feelings and focus instead on the things that are most important to them-relationships with friends, learning new things in school, and having fun.
Much of this book is devoted to helping parents understand the need the child's anxiety is expressing so that they can replace the anxiety with healthy, age-appropriate coping mechanisms and reduce parent-child struggles. Because the vast majority of anxious children have parents with anxiety disorders, parents also must learn to model these coping skills and respond, rather than automatically react, to their child's anxiety. Parents learn to step back, observe and understand their initial reactions, and try new and more effective responses instead.
The book addresses the difficult thoughts and feelings, such as guilt and sadness, parents sometimes face when raising an anxious child. This compassionate and effective guide emphasizes that emotional and behavioral problems are normal, and with the ACT skills in this book, they can be outgrown.

The School Wobblies is a book about the worries and the scary thoughts lurking in the minds of children who can't go to school. It is also about dealing with those worries and developing ways of thinking and coping to allow a return to school. In the book the worries and thoughts appear as "School Wobblies" who try to get the child to stay at home by generating as much trouble as possible and by taking advantage of anything which is making the child vulnerable and unreasonably fearful. The book exposes the tricks the Wobblies play to get the child to stay away from school. Fears and anxieties are illustrated and so are techniques for beating the Wobblies.

Staring at the Sun

Overcoming the dread of death

Irvin D. Yalom

Written in Irvin Yalom’s inimitable story-telling style, Staring at the Sun is a profoundly encouraging approach to the universal issue of mortality.
In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr Yalom helps us recognise that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our day-to-day anxiety. This reality is often brought to the surface by an ‘awakening experience’ — a dream, a loss (such as the death of a loved one, a divorce, or the loss of a job or home), illness, trauma, or ageing. Once we confront our own mortality we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.
This is a book with tremendous utility, including the provision of techniques for dealing with the most prevalent kinds of fears of death — especially by living in the here and now, and by embracing what Dr Yalom calls ‘rippling’, the influence and impact we all have that has a life beyond our own.
