10 Week Separation Anxiety (Kids CBT and Creative Therapy) Session Plan
This 10-week plan supports children in understanding and managing separation anxiety using CBT and creative therapy. Each session includes three goals, suggested resources, and space for therapist notes—ideal for 1:1 or group work with children aged 5–12.
Children explore their feelings about separation, learn to identify triggers, and build coping strategies through play-based and expressive activities like art, storytelling, puppetry, mask-making, role-play, and music. Topics include anxiety vocabulary, body responses, safe spaces, cognitive distortions, emotional regulation, and building self-efficacy.
The final sessions focus on celebration, goal setting, and personalised coping plans—helping children feel more confident, resilient, and connected when navigating separation.
