Yesterday, I found myself sitting outside a door. Inside the door was my Hanna with a group of kids talking about their feelings and fears. Outside of the door was a mum who felt sick in her stomach from anxiety and fear just praying Hanna would love the session and want to stick it out for the next 6 weeks.
I was fortunate enought to find myself chatting with two other mum's who are going through the same stage with their son and daughter. We all clicked and related with what we had to share. I felt an instant sense of relief that it was all going to be ok. It was so lovely to connect with these two women on a level that is so hard to understand. We explained how we have looked at ourselves as mothers to understand what has happened to make our children have this level of anxeity. It always comes back to mother guilt. Fortunately, we all agreed, that we had tried so many ways to help them and that we are doing the best we can by introducing to a group of kids who feel the same way. It was reassuring.
The best part....Han ran out with a huge sense of relief. She gave me a big hug and told me she loved the session and cant wait to go back next week. Neither can I!
