Worry is contagious...
but you can stop its spread

Anxiety has an amazing ability to spread. Time and time again, when veteran counselor and parenting expert Sissy Goff has an anxious child or teen in her office, she's found they have at least one very well-intentioned but anxious parent. Anxiety is contagious, and it's likely affecting your kids, distracting you in the present, and making you feel like it will define your family's future.

It doesn't have to be this way.
With over 30 years of experience helping both children and adults, Sissy offers you practical, well-researched tools that will make a difference in your life--and the lives of your children. Learn how to

uncover the roots of your own anxiety
● process anxiety in healthy ways rather than passing it on
● model bravery
● discover a place of deeper, freer connection to your kids

Here is the help you need to experience freedom from anxiety, raise confident, courageous kids, and become a worry-free family in an increasingly anxious world.

Also available: The Worry-Free Parent Workbook, a companion resource that provides clinically proven exercises to help you pinpoint the best anxiety-fighting tools for you and your family.

Whether you are just stressing a little over minor things or feeling suffocated and strangled by fear of the present and future, Sissy's words of encouragement will be a balm of hope and hands-on help for your weary heart!"

Crystal Paine, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, founder of MoneySavingMom.com, and mom of six

"My friend Sissy has done it again. Drawing on years of clinical practice and extensive research, Sissy wrote a book specifically to support parents. Parents are living busier and more distracted lives. When meeting with parents who express worries about their kids (or themselves), I first offer encouragement and then a resource--a tool to help them feel calmer and more equipped. This gem of a book does both. Anxiety plays tricks and lies. Sissy offers truth and helps parents gain mastery over anxiety by guiding us to do our own 'worry work.'"

Chinwé Williams, PhD, owner and principal therapist, Meaningful Solutions Counseling & Consulting; coauthor of Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens through the Power of Connection
