What causes child anxiety and how do you fix it?

I chose this big broad question on purpose so I could give you a big broad answer. I mention two other practitioners in this episode and here are the links to learn more about them:

Eve Hermann LMT SEP at Source Emodiment (Eve hosts a monthly virtual gathering in our site)

and

Dr. Gabby Goldach at the inside space

I hope you will check them out!
