Suggest Treatment For Severe Separation Anxiety In A Child

Hello I have a child who is nine years old and she has been diagnosed with Separation Anxiety. I cannot afford to continue the counseling services and to be honest there was no improvements when she was attending. However she has been having some pretty serious incidents with starting back to school this year. It takes me over an hour of forcing her to get dressed for school and then four of us to remove her from the vehicle once we get to school. She will only sleep on pillows in my room because she refuses to sleep in her own bedroom I need to know what options do I have for getting some kind of help for her. I have tried everything and I am exhausted. HELP

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you to continue the professional counseling service. You have a child who is troubled with separation anxiety. I see. Is this child yours or you are a teacher / counselor / step mother? Why this child is having separation anxiety?

Because we are dealing with a delicate subject and delicate innocent client, wee need to be cautious. Separation anxiety will be cured when time passes. But being the caretaker, you need to excise caution on many aspects. I suggest you talk to a child psychologist. I need to assess the child thoroughly in order to provide you any advise. That may not be possible given the online status between us. Please understand.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
