Fear came up in the first Brain Gym® session for a child who ran away from school. Other sessions worked around the feeling of insecurity, the tight chest and other ‘weird’ feelings, and goals such as ‘being brave and meeting my challenges’. She often would not leave her mother to enter the classroom but after a goal ’ to feel happy to go into the classroom’, she was able to do this confidently, which was extremely pleasing for all concerned.
