Why the Resilience Reset Program at Briefly Counseling Is A Must For Kids With Anxiety

Anxiety is a common yet challenging condition affecting many kids and teens today. It can significantly impact their daily lives, school performance, and relationships, leading to feelings of isolation and helplessness. For parents, finding effective ways to support their kids with anxiety is a top priority.

One promising and effective solution is the Resilience Reset Program at Briefly Counseling. We designed this 6-week program to help kids and teens develop the skills they need to manage their anxiety and stress effectively.

Let’s look at the many benefits of participating in the Resilience Reset Program and how it can positively transform the life of your child struggling with anxiety.

Understanding the Resilience Reset Program

The Resilience Reset Program at Briefly Counseling is a one-on-one structured and layered counseling program specifically tailored to help kids and teens combat anxiety. We conduct all sessions online for the benefit of your child’s comfort and privacy.

Over the course of six weeks, your child engages in a series of activities and exercises. Building resilience, enhancing emotional regulation, and developing practical coping strategies are the primary focus.

Our program’s evidence-based therapeutic approach ensures that your child receives the most effective and up-to-date support.

Key Components of the Resilience Reset Program

There are a number of components to the Resilience Reset Program that set it apart from others including:

Use of the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Approach

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a widely recognized approach that helps your child to think differently and to shift their pattern of attention. Doing so creates new pathways that will lead your child to notice differences and make changes in their life.

With Solution Focused Brief Therapy, your child’s anxiety is reduced by building skills and strengths so they can approach their fears and challenges with confidence. Change can happen quickly. And because your child’s strengths, skills, and resources already exist, it often takes less time to put them to use in addressing any problem.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is an evidence-based approach

One of the most significant benefits of the Resilience Reset program is its foundation in an evidence-based approach. Many clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of Solution Focused Brief Therapy for a wide variety of behavioral and psychological outcomes.

In addition, every time Solution Focused Brief Therapy has been researched, it has been shown to be as effective as any other therapy approach. Most importantly, 100% of the time, it has been effective in fewer sessions.

Mindfulness exercises are powerful for kids with anxiety

Another component of the Resilience Reset program is its emphasis on mindfulness exercises. Mindfulness exercises teach kids and teens to stay present and engaged in the moment, reducing the tendency to worry about the past or future.

We primarily use techniques such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to help our clients calm their minds and bodies. These exercises can be used during stressful situations to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm.

Structured Support of the Resilience Reset Program

Resilience Reset offers a structured support system that is crucial for children and teens dealing with anxiety.

In every session, we help your child to:

• Create a clear idea of what confidence looks and feels like.
• Develop assurance that they can do what’s needed.
• Identify evidence of recent successes.
• Recognize the resources they can draw upon to succeed.

This program includes regular sessions with me, an experienced child anxiety therapist who provides guidance, encouragement, and feedback. This consistent support helps your child to stay on track and to make steady progress in managing their anxiety.

Having a structured schedule helps your child feel more secure and less overwhelmed. Knowing what to expect each week reduces uncertainty and provides a sense of stability, which is important for those with anxiety.

Parental Involvement

The Resilience Reset program recognizes the importance of involving parents in the therapeutic process. You are provided with resources and guidance on how to support your child at home. This involvement ensures that the skills learned during the program are reinforced and practiced outside of therapy sessions.

We also educate parents about anxiety and its effects, helping you understand your child’s experiences better. This knowledge enables you to provide more effective support and create a nurturing environment at home.

Success Stories From the Resilience Reset Program

Resilience Reset has helped many kids and teens overcome their anxiety and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Success stories from past participants, like the ones below, highlight the program’s effectiveness and the positive impact it’s had on kids and their mental health.

For example, one participant, a 13-year-old girl named Hannah (not her real name), struggled with anxiety that affected her school performance and social interactions. After completing the Resilience Reset program, Emma reported feeling more confident, less anxious, and better equipped to handle stressful situations. Her parents also noticed significant improvements in her mood and behavior.

Another success story involves a 9-year-old boy named Ethan (not his real name), who experienced anxiety related to sports performance. Through Resilience Reset, Ethan created a skill to manage his anxiety and improve his focus. As a result, he was able to enjoy playing baseball again without feeling overwhelmed by fear and worry.

I love success stories like Emma and Ethan’s. And I’m proud that the Resilience Reset program offers an effective online solution for kids and teens struggling with anxiety. Not only do they learn lifelong skills, but they also come to appreciate the many strengths, talents, and resources they already possess.

By participating in the Resilience Reset program, your child too can develop the skills they need to navigate the challenges of anxiety, improve their emotional well-being, and lead more confident, fulfilling lives. If your child is struggling with anxiety, consider enrolling them in Resilience Reset today to give them the support and tools they need to thrive.
