Dogs, I am so glad that you husband is working on this too.

I recovered from anxiety and I think that we grow up anxious due to an insecure environment. Therefore, all the therapy in the world will not make your son better. What I think will make him better are you and your husband making a secure environment for him. My husband was helpful to me by not jumping in with me with my anxieties. He stood apart strong and reassuring. I joined him there. He did not join me in my anxious world. You mentioned a bit how you get anxious when you sense that your son is about to get anxious. You better believe that he picks up on that with his radar.
