My Intervention Addiction

intervention
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the show "Intervention" on A&E.  It's brilliant.  And heartbreaking.  And frustrating.  And gut-wrenching.  And uplifting.  It is all of those things and more.  Which is why I consider myself to be a bit of an Intervention addict.  I cannot get enough of this show.  Sunday nights I am glued to A&E.  If there's a marathon playing, I'm watching.  And don't even ask me how many hours I've watched online.  I have truly lost count!

Taming the Worry Dragons


My 13 year old son started with a new therapist recently.  We moved to a new town about 6 months ago and have been searching for someone suitable since our move.  He had been in therapy previously for his Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and had been utilizing the skills he had been taught over the years, but we knew that ongoing support in the form of therapy would be necessary for him.  Navigating the teen years without anxiety is hard enough.  Navigating it WITH anxiety is going to be a challenge.
