What is Separation Anxiety and How do you Cure it?
Everyone in life passes through their own personal hell. I will join you in that dark abyss and we will walk out of it together. I will not lie to you. There is no easy way out of a problem. Your therapy experience will be one of the hardest things you will ever go through.  It can also be the most rewarding.  I cannot guarantee that the problem will disappear, but that does not disqualify success. Peace is not always the absence of problems.

What is Separation Anxiety?

 - repeated nightmares about being separated
 - physical pains when anticipating separation
