A Message From Summer
How Sand Helps Increase Anxiety Awareness
While many might associate sand with carefree days at the beach or childhood memories of building sandcastles, for therapists like myself, sand holds a deeper meaning.
It serves as a powerful tool for unlocking the unconscious mind and promoting emotional healing, particularly for those struggling with anxiety.
Using Ice to Decrease Anxious Thoughts in Children
Imagine a child struggling with anxious thoughts. Their mind races with worries, and they feel overwhelmed by emotions.
Traditional methods might involve talking through those worries, but what if there was a simpler, more engaging way to bring them back to the present moment?
"Paul Johnson is passionate about helping children and adolescents discover who they are, how special and unique they are, and how capable they are of overcoming their individual challenges.
He uses creative ways to connect with each child, whether through art, or play, or doing an activity the child enjoys. His experience as a child psychologist in the school systems, along with being a dad himself, give him a valuable perspective in the counseling office."
