when our little willow (5 going on six she says) first presented, she hid under her blanket, sucked her thumb in between sobs and was terrified of everything. our T worked with her to find out what she was so terrified of and had to open cubboards and closets in her office, look under the sofa, the desk and behind the chair. my H worked with her outside. bought crayons, coloring books, play doh, and a stuffie.

it took time but she stopped hiding, and began to talk.

she is awesome. a chatterbox and a story teller. she has such creativity and is so cute. she still sometimes get scared and sometimes will wake from an afternoon nap confused and wonder what's going on. H has a good relationship with her.

we have Vicki inside who takes care of the littles and protects them and helps them feel safe.

it takes work with the little ones. but it is well worth the work.
