[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - My HS kids haven't shown any anxiety, but I have it and it runs in our family. I strongly suggest that she does CBT. It is very helpful in learning to control your thinking, and therefore regain the feeling of control/power. I have suggested on this site before, but the Life Coach School podcast is a based on that method, and she talks about having anxiety. She brings in $10m+ every year, so it might be worthwhile for your DD to see that anxiety does not mean she cannot do big things. I so wish I'd learned this in HS, which would have helped me make decisions.

There are also workbooks on CBT that you can get on Amazon. There might also be life coaches for teens who focus on anxiety. I am a therapy proponent, but coaching is more forward-thinking and some benefit more from it. I had been in therapy for years, but it wasn't until I started learning and practicing CBT that it made a difference.

Thank you. Her psych picture is pretty complicated, but she is receiving evidence-based care. I used "therapy" as short-hand for the specific treatments she is receiving. I was concerned people would focus on treating the anxiety rather than answering my question, which is how to approach the college search process when anxiety is a given.
