Reducing Anxiety in Children
Terri Sorg, Wisconsin Author & Former Registered Nurse Specializing in Mental Health, Presents “Reducing Anxiety in Children” At Sun Prairie Rotary Club, January 12
Terri Sorg’s books have a wonderful way of connecting the messages on the pages to what’s on the minds and moods of many families across the country.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from UW- Madison and is a retired Registered Nurse. She has worked with troubled teens and the mentally ill. “I helped them deal with the struggles in their live," she says.
Early in her nursing career when she learned of the work being done in hospice, she became a volunteer and trained in energy healing. She discovered her niche in mental health where, she says, treatment is as much art as it is science
Her fourth book –Heart Fairy & Anxiety, will be published early in 2021.
Writing about Anxiety during Historic Times
“Many of us face challenging times, especially now when we are living in a pandemic. Having a strong inner spirit and knowing that you are loved are more important than ever before.”
She adds that for many people, including children, happiness may be missing in their lives. “It can be related to feeling anxious,” she says.
Sorg’s new book Anxiety helps young readers understand their feelings and offers tips for moving beyond feeling anxious. She knows firsthand, from dealing with anxiety in her own life, how freeing it is to let go and accept yourself. She also learned anxiety runs in her family.
She decided to find ways to lower anxiety in her own life which she shares in her book Anxiety as well as during presentations.
“Letting go of anxiety helps you become happier, whether you’re an adult or a child,” Sorg says. “I know firsthand that when you let go of anxiety and accept yourself, you become happier.”
