Would any parents who have experienced SPACE be willing to share what their experience was like? I know every therapist is differnt, but would be so helpful to hear from anyone.

Wondering if people have encountered this in FTL adults and if it has modified how you've worked with the parents around this. Also, if anyone has recommendations on reading material or the research on demand avoidance, it would be great to hear!

Hi, we have successfully worked through removing the accommodation of not sleeping with our child and she has shown improvement in not being anxious at night. However, she has constant anxiety throughout the day that she doesn’t recognize where it’s coming from, it’s not a specific worry so it’s hard to find an accommodation to work on. Any tips on where to start and how to help child get over the ruminating feelings and sadness?

Thank you!

Good morning!

My name is Alyssa Hertz and I'm reaching out from Houston Anxiety & Wellness Center to share information about our upcoming SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) therapy group, which may benefit families you work with who have children struggling with anxiety.

SPACE is an evidence-based parent training program that helps children manage anxiety through parent-focused intervention. We find this approach particularly effective for students whose anxiety impacts school attendance, social participation, or academic performance, as it doesn't require the child's direct participation in therapy.

Our next 6-week, virtual group begins on April 2, 2025  

Program Highlights:

• Weekly, virtual sessions on Wednesdays April 2 - May 7, 2025 12:00-1:30 CT

SPACE is effective for:

✅ Separation anxiety

✅ Social anxiety

✅ Generalized anxiety

✅ Phobias & fears

I'm looking for ARFID-specific training, having already been trained in SPACE. Is there a formal training available - live or recorded is fine. I have a family I'm working with on other accommodations but ARFID is also an issue they're being treated for at a local hospital and I'd like to support them with SPACE if possible.

We've tried to find SPACE therapists in our area (Chicago West suburbs) but can't get anyone to respond. 

I read Dr. Lebowtiz's book and watched several Youtube videos featuring his workshops on SPACE. Our 24-year-old Son/Stepson is typical of the FTL young people you've described in your articles. Passivity, a lack of intrinsic motivation to apply for jobs and an overly accomodating Mom are the hallmarks of our situation and we'd like to try implementing SPACE on our own but I have a few questions.

1. Do you have some examples of what parents say to their children when they wish to stop providing Internet access? How do we deliver this information without it seeming like a punishment or something we are "doing" to him? How do we deliver the supportive message?

2. One of our fears is that denying accommodations like buying his food and providing Internet access will cause our Son to totally withdraw…

Hello, I have completed SPACE training, but I'm curious if there are any trainings scheduled that are specific to FTL? I am looking for any training possible for this area, as we would like to start a group. Thank you!

I am wondering if anyone has experiencing in applying the SPACE constructs to the school setting. If so any suggestions? is there any data showing that it is as effective as in the home environment?

Thanks!
