[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is straight up anxiety. Exposure therapy i.e. doing the thing is the best medicine but get her support to help her build back towards doing the thing. Also, trying to understand what is beneath the anxiety rather than just pushing (like your husband) is a better long term strategy.[/quote] +1. She needs to keep going. Letting anxiety make decisions is a recipe for more anxiety. Now the next time she goes it's going to be worse. One strategy that might be helpful is to get there way early so only a few kids are there. Another would be catching a ride with another girl who is trying out so they can walk in together.[/quote]
