SPACE is effective for: ✅ Separation anxiety ✅ Social anxiety ✅ Generalized anxiety ✅ Phobias & fears ✅ Panic disorder & agoraphobia ✅ Selective mutism ✅ OCD 💡 How does it work? In SPACE, I work directly with parents, helping them make small but powerful shifts in how they respond to their child’s anxiety. This approach is backed by science and has been shown to help kids feel more confident and resilient! 📅 Ready to learn more?

We've tried to find SPACE therapists in our area (Chicago West suburbs) but can't get anyone to respond.  I read Dr. Lebowtiz's book and watched several Youtube videos featuring his workshops on SPACE. Our 24-year-old Son/Stepson is typical of the FTL young people you've described in your articles. Passivity, a lack of intrinsic motivation to apply for jobs and an overly accomodating Mom are the hallmarks of our situation and we'd like to try implementing SPACE on our own but I have a few questions. 1. Do you have some examples of what parents say to their children when they wish to stop providing Internet access? How do we deliver this information without it seeming like a punishment or something we are "doing" to him? How do we deliver the supportive message? 2. One of our fears is that denying accommodations like buying his food and providing Internet access will cause our Son to totally withdraw and become even more isolated. Is this a common reaction? To feel sorry for themselves? Are we supposed to just trust that he will respond to the situation in a constructive manner sooner or later? How do we give a supportive message if he feels like we are punishing him? 3. Clearly SPACE is designed to be implemented as changes to the parent's behavior, but aren't we also trying to communicate a new set of expectations to the child? What is our message about why we are setting these new expectations? How do we set expectations and boundaries as not being "manipulative". Is that a part of SPACE-FTL or did I miss the point here? Thanks, Darryl and Laura

Hello, I have completed SPACE training, but I'm curious if there are any trainings scheduled that are specific to FTL? I am looking for any training possible for this area, as we would like to start a group. Thank you!
