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.

Thank you!
SPACE is effective for:
✅ Separation anxiety
✅ Social anxiety
✅ Generalized anxiety
✅ Phobias & fears
