When my child stopped being able to go to school, I asked “what’s wrong” more times than I can count. It never got me an answer, because there wasn’t one to give while their body was still in alarm. What actually shifted things was slowing right down and asking things their body could answer instead of their words. Small, physical, no pressure. Doctor Russell Kennedy explains this well. He spent years as a chronic worrier himself, tried the standard talk-therapy route, and it didn’t touch his own anxiety. That’s what led him to the idea that anxiety starts as a physical alarm in the body, not a thought, and that a panicked body has to be calmed before it can be reasoned with. Once I understood this, the mornings started to change. Slowly, then more, until my child was back at school. She graduated high school with entry into her first-choice university.
