Season 2, Episode 4: Parenting a child who has crippling anxiety (Sherri)

Written By Susie Gurley

In this episode of the Just A Mom podcast, Sherri shares her story of parenting a child with sometimes crippling anxiety. Depending on what you read somewhere between 50-60% of teens and twenty-somethings are dealing with anxiety, so I know you will find Sherri’s experience helpful. She talks about the difficulties in convincing her daughter to go to therapy as well as how hard it was to find a good fit once she agreed to go. 

Sherri also discusses the genetic testing that her daughter did to help figure out medications.
