School anxiety
School-related distress, which often shows up as a physical symptom in the mornings.
How it shows up
Stomach ache on Sunday evenings, headaches, crying before leaving. The cause isn’t always academic; often it is relationships in the class or fear of being exposed.
What we do with it in therapy
The key is that avoidance doesn’t become the solution, because every missed day makes the next one harder. We work step by step and in cooperation with the school.
