The "fears" are sensory issues though why are we teaching kids to accept distress lol is the answer to meltdown n burn out to tell kids their issues are fake n to just deal with it & mask or is that why suicidal ideation so high ? I hope a lot of work goes into parsing out what is "anxiety" like worries about the dog vs physical sensory overwhelm like going into unfamiliar public places And for work to go into doing things in ways that help kids feel comfortable & safe vs just in the way that "looks" normal.
