Pediatric Anxiety Epidemic: A New Approach to Treatment | Kathryn Boger | TEDxWalthamED

[@klmyles81]

My son suffers from chronic anxiety - it's nice to know he isn't alone but it's even better to start learning what I can do for him.

[@humanyoda]

Consider taking him to a competent EFT or NLP practitioner if you want faster results.

Many thanks, I have been researching "symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Wanatthew Janlizabeth Eradicator - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

[@bernitaldown9136]

@Student Arianne Alor Fuentes It makes it worse to hear statements like that from people who are suppose to care for you.....

[@melissamum]

Great video. The key is *gradual* increase of exposure. Dont throw them in the deep end.

[@sportsmankiev]

I would love to see these statistics alongside the socioeconomic conditions of families. Our treatment systems are so expensive! Also, which treatments and HOW LONG treatments covered are determined by insurance companies. In discussing how so many of our children are not getting the treatment necessary or “effective treatment”, I think the conversation must include our care/health systems and expenses! The system itself prevents many from the care they need...

[@hollyjollyxmas]

Yes this is a huge issue that wasn’t addressed

[@martaarangoecheverri248]

Congratulation Kathryn, You're doing a great job with this child problem!

[@jjharvathh]

Actually it is not only children, it is adults too that have an anxiety epidemic...looking at historical psychological test data (can not remember the study) it was obvious that people were much less stressed and anxious decades ago, compared to today. Have been wondering why...we have more stuff now....so should be happier.

My daughter withdrew in second grade and had her first panic attack in third. It has been awful trying to “raise” her around her mental health issues. It is a whole different ballgame, and completely draining. People don’t realize how common/significant it is in children.

[@hermajesticloupe7058]

Brilliant and well-spoken. Thank you!

[@staceyfarris_lmhc]

This sounds promising but is it affordable and available to the majority of children? If it’s not now, will it be? That’s the problem I’ve found - any treatment that has any real value is almost never financially feasible or geographically accessible.

[@teambeining]

There is not enough mental health providers. It took *six months* to get into a therapist, and *one full year* of therapy before they would refer us to psychiatry to get on meds. For reference: we live on a large metro area and we have good insurance.

[@auroraolds]

Why isn’t anyone talking about the mic going through her cheek, or am I loosing it?

[@quailquest2392]

It’s taped to her face :)

[@MichaelODoherty]

Hi, enjoyed the talk xc § There is no reason why children cant fully recover, the key is to release the energy blockage once you do that combined with CBT and the right nutrition its done. Michael

[@kellyf.653]

Wtf that opening gave me a panic attack. 😮

[@romanr7948]

I get results MUCH faster by focusing first on the initial psychotrauma whenever possible. The consequences often get resolved on their own. And I use principles behind EFT, Sedona Method, some NLP techniques, etc. I want to underscore the word "principles", not bogus explanations (as are provided, for example, by EFT and EMDR practioners). The cornerstone is also exposure, but I first use exposure in one's mind, and then in real world once that is done, if needed.

[@pedinurse1]

This happened to us in the State Fair, thought I would die, I found my child but it took about 45 min

[@salona108]

THE MIC

[@brainyway4003]

The lecture was too negative until min 12. I barely could handle it because i am focused on positive psychology. So exposure is the conclussion. Lets study about it.

[@GabrielleCenter2000]

I have GAD 3 times a day and during bedtime. My body gets numb all the time.

[@lizhall825]

Where can I get this kind of treatment for my 8 year old son?

[@KarinMariaHodgesPsyDPLLC]

This is “intensive exposure with response prevention.” A Psychologist proving this particular tx. to children could be consideration for those seeking tx. May be offered in a clinic or hospital setting. American Psychological Association can be a good resource for finding local providers.

[@teambeining]

Check with your local children’s hospital.

[@hollyjollyxmas]

I found the most important and poignant part of this to be when she talked about meeting Kim at the family car and doing the meetings there until she was ready to go inside. Every other therapist or therapy session I’ve experienced would have told me to drag my severely anxious and debilitated nephew kicking and screaming into the clinic.

[@brittanyp5909]

My daughter... 😥😥

[@mamaelizalde9900]

Hello

[@bibousisi5437]

Hi! Nice video you have there! On a separate note; have you started communicating with " Vidadsmedia Child Anxiety Treatment " (google the exact phrase)? My step brother had some transactions with them and was impressed by their awesome treatment when the Anxiety issue was completely remedied !

[@crater682]

Hi hi! Nice video you have there! On a separate note; have you thought about " Vidadsmedia Child Anxiety Treatment " (try googling it)? My sisters boss had some dealings with them and was impressed by their great treatment when the Anxiety issue was completely treated !

[@valerievick9343]

Stuff doesn't make you happy or less anxious

[@KmusikOne]

Yeah, put all of the kids on drugs and make their whole lives revolve around therapy... Awful.

[@mADhAtTrChIcK]

Omg. Get to a point! Halfway through the video.... nothing substantial.
