What clients say...
54 year old man
54 year old man who suspects he is autistic. He was struggling with anxiety which stopped him doing new things & being out in public when he began the
Brain & Body Calm anxiety therapy & anxiety program.
"It has definitely helped as I am more amenable to more new things even if they have a social element to them"
"On occasion I have had thoughts and actions of pro-social behaviour that is not typical for me. More fun and laughter with wife. More playful and relaxed. "
7 year old boy
7 year old boy who was anxious with new situations, wouldn't stay with family/friends and following his Mum into every room and wouldn't be alone. Getting to sleep was also a small problem.
"We saw massive improvements with this anxiety therapy program. He's getting off to sleep quicker, he's been in a new situation where he just ran off to into the holiday club without even looking back at me and he stayed at grandparents."
"We have seen a huge difference in our son, and his acknowledgment that the work we've been doing with Kate was working was amazing. He's much more confident and happy in new situations following this anxiety program."
6 year old boy
6 year old boy with social anxiety surfacing as challenging behaviour, shy & very withdrawn with anyone except mum & dad. Freezes but he really wants to get involved. Anxiousness, seeming frustration with himself, very low self esteem - constantly puts himself down.
"Our boy is much more engaged with himself and plays independently. He seems happier in larger social settings and is definitely sleeping so much better. His reading has come on in leaps and bounds and he is engaging more at school."
"This anxiety therapy program is an extra & invaluable tool in giving your child that bit of extra help needed for future."
"Kate is exceptionally good at handling my boy with the anxiety program, even when he’s not wanting to be involved!"
10 year old girl
10 year old girl with many difficulties at school: both academic and social
"It is still early days for us but I can see a difference in her attitude towards challenges. She seems less anxious and bolder since starting the Brain & Body Calm anxiety program"
"E wakes up less often in the night and generally seems less anxious. She's also bolder. Like she would often not go into cold water with us but suddenly she is the first one in. Or she jumped off a 3 meter diving board without hesitation for the first time in her life, she wouldn't have even entertained the thought before. She has had some encouraging feedback from school and she is more independent too"
"This anxiety therapy is very gentle but I can see the immediate effects it has on E, as in the gentlest of exercise makes her look exhausted. Kate is very gentle and patient but also clear in her instructions and constantly adapts to our needs. She listens to our feedback and has tweaked the plan where things have not been working for us."
Living with anxiety, shyness & low-self esteem
I'll let you into a little secret....I have lived with shyness, low self esteem, insecurity & low level anxiety all my life. Only I didn't know it....we don't know, what we don't know....and I didn't know I was living with ALL of these challenges. However, I did know I was VERY shy from being a young child.
Shyness can be painful (or at least VERY uncomfortable)...hence the phrase 'painfully shy'....it can make speaking infront of people outside of our close circle very difficult, particularly when the number of people increases...it feels like being centre of attention, and being centre of attention to someone who is shy is AWFUL.
At primary school, I felt comfortable being one to one with my best friend BUT I would stop speaking when there were more children around. In sixth form, I had a big group of friends BUT wouldn't speak when the whole group was together. And at Uni, I remember, being at a party when the person I went to the party with left the room and I really didn't know what to do with myself...the situation put me into fight or flight - I wanted to run away, but couldn't so became angry with the person who left me alone :-(
Shyness often goes hand in hand with low self esteem, insecurity & anxiety with a bit of fear of social embarrassment thrown to add another level to the discomfort. These challenges make school, work and socialising stressful and can lead to school refusal, avoidance of situations with new people or having to socialise with big groups.
As I have matured, I have learnt to be more outgoing and have more confidence (or can pretend!). I still prefer to socialise one to one or in small groups, rather than in big groups...but I CAN do big groups and I'm always better at it after a glass of prosecco!
It was only when I went to train in Primitive Reflexes (to help my son) that I discovered I my Fear Paralysis reflex was still active and the massive impact it was having on my life.
My mission in life is to help children & adults avoid the challenges caused by an active Fear Paralysis reflex....I can't turn back to the clock and live my 40 plus years of life being less anxious, more outgoing, and having more confidence...but I can help others avoid living with an unnecessarily difficult or uncomfortable life.
The great news is that if the Fear Paralysis reflex is active, it can be switched off through simple movements taking no longer than 15 minutes per day...and all is not lost if you miss a day or two per week, in fact it is fine to miss a couple of days each week!
So, if you feel that your child (or you for that matter!) would benefit from some support with anxiety, low self-esteem, insecurity, or shyness read on...
