Q & A: Separation Anxiety
Q: When I drop my child off at school or with a sitter, he experiences separation anxiety. How can I minimize this and help my child feel more secure?
A: From an attachment perspective, it’s natural, normal and healthy for a young child to have a tough time separating from his most beloved and safe people. And, there are times when it’s inevitable that he be cared for by someone else. In order to make this easier for your child, it’s important that you, first and foremost, feel comfortable with the person your child is going to spend time with.

Carrie 2.0 – Taking my show on the Road!
What if the work I do here, in Austin, the work that I am so passionate about, goes westward bound? Well, we’re about to find out. In August I am hopping in my car and I will spend a week meandering through the southwest to arrive in southern California. Ahhh, California! It’s a super special place that is near and dear to my heart as I had the privilege of living and learning in magnificent Santa Barbara for four years while I was working on my PhD.
For this trip, I’ll be returning to Santa Barbara as well as spending time in Los Angeles.

The outpuring of support and love I receive from my clients always makes my heart soar. Notes I receive from you let me know that this new lens in which we have chosen to see parenting – as an opportunity to being a healthy, happy, whole human being – really resonates.
