Reattach Therapy for Reducing Anxiety in Children with Developmental Diversities

Abstract

Background: Anxiety in children could appear as fear but it additionally has the ability to make children restless and furious. Anxiety is prevalent and occasionally severe for kids with autism. Identifying anxious feelings and identifying the cause is the first step toward controlling anxiety. Relaxation, imagery, and different types of ReAttach therapies are all successful techniques for dealing with anxiety.

Method: Interpretivism is the chosen research philosophy along with the deductive research approach. On the other hand, descriptive research design has also been selected in the present scenario. The data has been considered as secondary and qualitative data analysis has been done. For the collection of all the required information scholars, journals, books have been followed. Qualitative data analysis method is the appropriate method that is done by thematic structure. 

Findings: Using strategies including cognitive appraisal, or “cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)”, has been demonstrated to be successful in helping children with ASD deal with anxiety. Directly addressing one’s fears via exposure therapy is shown to decrease the amount and severity of anxious emotions. Children experiencing depression and anxiety have also benefited more from treatments based on mindfulness like MBSR and MBCT-C.

Conclusion: As a consequence of CBT, children with autism feel less anxiety. “Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)” and “cognitive behavioural treatment” for anxiety and depression (MBCT-C) are two instances of these kinds of therapies. Additional research is required to create customized therapies for kids with anxiety.
