Turnaround: Turning Fear into Freedom (14 CDs)
I wholeheartedly endorse Turnaround as the best tool available for children with anxiety of any type. Turnaround serves a critical need for children dealing with anxiety. A comprehensive program for children ages 6 to 12; Turnaround is a resource well worth your time and energy. A professionally researched foundation combined with a creative, child friendly delivery sets Turnaround apart from available resources. I would wholeheartedly recommend Turnaround to my patients facing anxiety of any type. --Kerry Van Voorhis, MD, PediatricianI used this program with my family and it was extremely helpful, and the lessons learned are enduring. As a professional psychologist, I am highly suspicious of pop psychology products. This is not pop psychology. It is engaging and honest, yet entertaining, and useful for both kids and adults. I highly recommend this program without reservation. --John Colletti, PsyD, PsychologistAfter thoroughly reviewing the program on the website, I purchased Turnaround to use in my practice as a licensed clinical social worker. What impressed me was the fact that it was based upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that it was developed by professional therapists with clincial experience, and that it was very kid-friendly. After 2 weeks a 12 year-old boy who suffered from OCD and panic attacks was able to stop using sleep-aid medication, fall asleep quickly and sleep through the night- something he hadn't been able to do in over a year! He loves doing the program and now feels he can overcome his anxious thoughts. I'm so thankful to have found a program that offers solid education and hope to anxious children! I'm thrilled at how you have embedded theories and strategies of CBT into such a refreshing, ingenious inter-active program. Honest to God, I'd like to nominate you both for some kind of Humanitarian Award! I enthusiastically endorse Turnaround to all parents and therapists seeking professional help for children who struggle with anxiety! --Kaye Kellogg, MSW, LCSW
