The purchase of ‘Stronger Than Anxiety’ provides a personal license for individual use only. If you would like to have the content made available to children and teens in your school or organisation, we can certainly make that happen. Depending on your specific needs, there are two options:

Option 1: A Broadcast License

To access the content from within your school or organisation, any time.

Who is a broadcast license best for?

A broadcast licence is best for schools, organisations, or clinicians (such as psychologists, counsellors, school counsellors, therapists) who would like to make the content available to all young people within their school or organisation, or with individual students or clients as part of their sessions. A broadcast license is for viewing and access on your premises exclusively.

Is there a limit on the number of people who can access the content?

There’s no limit at all, as long as they are enrolled in your school or organisation and watch the material on your premises.

Does our whole school need to watch it at the same time? I mean, we like each other but sometimes we like to do our own thing.

You certainly don’t need to watch it all together. The content will be available for 12 months, so individuals, groups, classes, or year levels can view the material at their own pace, as many times as they want.

If our students would like to watch the content from home, say, with a parent or carer, will the broadcast license include this?

No, a broadcast license allows you to make the content available to anyone within your organisation, but the content must be accessed from within your school or organisation. If you would like to make the content viewable outside your school or organisation for the young people enrolled with you, we have another option that would be perfect. Take a look at the multiple license option (Option 2) below. This will be the one for you.

How long can the content be accessed for?

The content will be accessible for 12 months from when your license is activated. During that time, the content can be accessed as many times as you like, provided it is viewed on your premises.

Can each student have their own workbook?

Yes, absolutely. The license provides for you to download the workbook and copy it as many times as you need for the children or teens in your school or organisation.

Okay. This is the one. How do we purchase a broadcast license?
  • First, we’ll need some details from you. Please email with:
    • the name of your school or organisation;
    • a billing email;
    • the number of students in your school or organisation.
  • We will then issue an invoice and when payment is made, we’ll send through access details.
What does a broadcast license include?

Each license will provide access to:

  • ‘Stronger Than Anxiety’ course video (42 minutes).
  • ‘Calming Your Amygdala’ downloadable workbook. Once this has been downloaded, you can copy this as many times as needed for each student viewing the course to have their own individual copy.
Let’s talk cost. How much?

The cost for a broadcast license is AUD $2000.

Okay. This is the one. How do I purchase a broadcast license?
  • First, we’ll need some details from you. Please email with:
    • the name of your school or organisation;
    • a billing email;
    • the number of students in your school or organisation.
  • We will then issue an invoice and when payment is made, we’ll send through access details.

Option 2: Multiple License Bundle

To access the content from anywhere, any time.

Who is this best for?

This option is best if you would like the content available to individual students or families from your school or organisation, for access outside your premises. This option will allow children, teens, or their immediate families to access the material from home. This will make way for parents to view the content alongside their children or teens and have meaningful conversations within the family about courage and resilience, and ways through anxiety.

How is this different to the broadcast license?

The broadcast license is for one license that allows you to show it to the people within your school or organisation, from within your premises only. Multiple licenses are separate licenses that allow the course to be accessed by individual children, teens, or families from within their own homes. A broadcast license allows the content to be accessed from one location, whereas multiple licenses allow the content to be accessed from multiple separate locations, and by different families.

How long will the course content be accessible for?

The course content will be available for 3 months from the date of activation of a license. For example, if you purchase a bundle of 25 licenses, each license will allow for three months of access from the date of activation of that particular license.

What’s included?

Each license includes:

  • ‘Stronger Than Anxiety’ video (42-minutes).
  • ‘Calming Your Amygdala’ downloadable workbook.
Is there a discount if I purchase multiple licenses?

Of course! The discount will depend on the number of licences you purchase. The more licenses, the higher the discount:

  • 10-25 licenses – 30% discount
    • To calculate: [number of licenses] x [cost of course] x 0.7 = what you pay
  • 26-50 licenses – 40% discount
    • To calculate: [number of licenses] x [cost of course] x 0.6 = what you pay
  • 51-100 licenses – 50% discount
    • To calculate: [number of licenses] x [cost of course] x 0.5 = what you pay
  • 101-200 licenses – 60% discount.
    • To calculate: [number of licenses] x [cost of course] x 0.4 = what you pay.
  • More than 200 licenses – Please get in touch.
How can I purchase multiple licenses, and how does the process work from there?
  • First, we will need a few details from you. Please email with:
    • the name of your school or organisation;
    • a billing email address;
    • the number of individual licenses you would like to purchase.
  • We will then issue an invoice, and when payment is made, access will be provided in one of two ways (you choose):
    • Option 1:
      • We will provide one code that will be valid for as many uses as the number of licenses purchased.
      • You can then share this code with as many families in your school or organisation as you have purchased licenses for. The code will provide each family or individual with a 100% discount for the purchase of the course.
      • The code will be valid for as many uses as the number of licenses as you have purchased. For example, if you purchase 25 licenses, the code can be used 25 times for a 100% discount each time.
      • When the course is purchased (with the 100% discount code), this will provide access to the course content will be provided for 3 months.
    • Option 2:
      • We will provide different codes, for as many licenses as you have purchased. For example, if you purchase 25 licenses, we will provide you with 25 different codes. Each of those 25 codes can be used once for a 100% discount off the purchase price.
      • A code can then be provided to each child or family a license has been purchased for.
      • When the course is purchased (with the 100% discount code), this will provide access to the course content for 3 months.

Can’t wait for this! I’ll be in Devonport, Tasmania next week to present two talks for parents and carers. 

The first is on Monday evening 19 May for a talk about how to strengthen young people against anxiety. This is not just another anxiety talk. You’ll walk away feeling hopeful, empowered, and with strategies you can start using straight away. 

Then, on Tuesday morning 20 May, I’ll be giving another talk for parents and carers but this will be a Q&A. Bring your questions to me! Even if you don’t have questions, the ones I answer will be loaded with practical information that will support you in your parenting journey. 

So grateful to @devonportevents for organising the events. They are public talks, open to everyone. 

Tickets available at Humanitix - search Devonport events and scroll down until you find me! 

Would love to see you there.♥️
Hello Adelaide! I’ll be in Adelaide on Friday 27 June to present a full-day workshop on anxiety. 

This is not just another anxiety workshop, and is for anyone who lives or works with young people - therapists, educators, parents, OTs - anyone. 

Tickets are still available. Search Hey Sigmund workshops for a full list of events, dates, and to buy tickets or see here https://www.heysigmund.com/public-events/
First we decide, ‘Is this discomfort from something unsafe or is it from something growthful?’

Then ask, ‘Is this a time to lift them out of the brave space, or support them through it?’

To help, look at how they’ll feel when they (eventually) get through it. If they could do this bravely thing easily tomorrow, would they feel proud? Happy? Excited? Grateful they did it? 

‘Brave’ isn’t about outcome. It’s about handling the discomfort of the brave space and the anxiety that comes with that. They don’t have to handle it all at once. The move through the brave space can be a shuffle rather than a leap. 

The more we normalise the anxiety they feel, and the more we help them feel safer with it (see ‘Hey Warrior’ or ‘Ups and Downs’ for a hand with this), the more we strengthen their capacity to move through the brave space with confidence. This will take time, experience, and probably lots of anxiety along the way. It’s just how growth is. 

We don’t need to get rid of their anxiety. The key is to help them recognise that they can feel anxious and do brave. They won’t believe this until they experience it. Anxiety shrinks the feeling of brave, not the capacity for it. 

What’s important is supporting them through the brave space lovingly, gently (though sometimes it won’t feel so gentle) and ‘with’, little step by little step. It doesn’t matter how small the steps are, as long as they’re forward.♥️
Of course we’ll never ever stop loving them. But when we send them away (time out),
ignore them, get annoyed at them - it feels to them like we might.

It’s why more traditional responses to tricky behaviour don’t work the way we think they did. The goal of behaviour becomes more about avoiding any chance of disconnection. It drive lies and secrecy more than learning or their willingness to be open to us.

Of course, no parent is available and calm and connected all the time - and we don’t need to be. 

It’s about what we do most, how we handle their tricky behaviour and their big feelings, and how we repair when we (perhaps understandably) lose our cool. (We’re human and ‘cool’ can be an elusive little beast at times for all of us.)

This isn’t about having no boundaries. It isn’t about being permissive. It’s about holding boundaries lovingly and with warmth.

The fix:

- Embrace them, (‘you’re such a great kid’). Reject their behaviour (‘that behaviour isn’t okay’). 

- If there’s a need for consequences, let this be about them putting things right, rather than about the loss of your or affection.

- If they tell the truth, even if it’s about something that takes your breath away, reward the truth. Let them see you’re always safe to come to, no matter what.

We tell them we’ll love them through anything, and that they can come to us for anything, but we have to show them. And that behaviour that threatens to steal your cool, counts as ‘anything’.

- Be guided by your values. The big ones in our family are honesty, kindness, courage, respect. This means rewarding honesty, acknowledging the courage that takes, and being kind and respectful when they get things wrong. Mean is mean. It’s not constructive. It’s not discipline. It’s not helpful. If we would feel it as mean if it was done to us, it counts as mean when we do it to them.

Hold your boundary, add the warmth. And breathe.

Big behaviour and bad decisions don’t come from bad kids. They come from kids who don’t have the skills or resources in the moment to do otherwise.

Our job as their adults is to help them build those skills and resources but this takes time. And you. They can’t do this without you.❤️
We can’t fix a problem (felt disconnection) by replicating the problem (removing affection, time-out, ignoring them).

All young people at some point will feel the distance between them and their loved adult. This isn’t bad parenting. It’s life. Life gets in the way sometimes - work stress, busy-ness, other kiddos.

We can’t be everything to everybody all the time, and we don’t need to be.

Kids don’t always need our full attention. Mostly, they’ll be able to hold the idea of us and feel our connection across time and space.

Sometimes though, their tanks will feel a little empty. They’ll feel the ‘missing’ of us. This will happen in all our relationships from time to time.

Like any of us humans, our kids and teens won’t always move to restore that felt connection to us in polished or lovely ways. They won’t always have the skills or resources to do this. (Same for us as adults - we’ve all been there.)

Instead, in a desperate, urgent attempt to restore balance to the attachment system, the brain will often slide into survival mode. 

This allows the brain to act urgently (‘See me! Be with me!) but not always rationally (‘I’m missing you. I’m feeling unseen, unnoticed, unchosen. I know this doesn’t make sense because you’re right there, and I know you love me, but it’s just how I feel. Can you help me?’

If we don’t notice them enough when they’re unnoticeable, they’ll make themselves noticeable. For children, to be truly unseen is unsafe. But being seen and feeling seen are different. Just because you see them, doesn’t mean they’ll feel it.

The brain’s survival mode allows your young person to be seen, but not necessarily in a way that makes it easy for us to give them what they need.

The fix?

- First, recognise that behaviour isn’t about a bad child. It’s a child who is feeling disconnected. One of their most important safety systems - the attachment system - is struggling. Their behaviour is an unskilled, under-resourced attempt to restore it.

- Embrace them, lean in to them - reject the behaviour.

- Keep their system fuelled with micro-connections - notice them when they’re unnoticeable, play, touch, express joy when you’re with them, share laughter.♥️
