Scolionophobia/ School Phobia

Hello, my name is N. I am 17 years old, and I am going to share my therapy experience with Halima.

When I was young, due to some small events that occurred, I became very withdrawn and took a lot on myself. School was my biggest nightmare and I forced myself to go, I was very hard and demanding on myself. Then in 4th grade, my start of the school year was a nightmare, I don’t have any friends with me, I don’t like my class and I have a very bad schedule.

I then asked the principal to change classes but unfortunately it couldn’t happen so I had to take it on again. By November/December, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back for my body, which overnight developed strong anxiety. I found myself unable to attend my classes and that’s when I started therapy with Halima.

From then on, I felt better, but in January I fell into a big anxiety that triggered as soon as I left home. I therefore stopped going to school, sports and any activity for a month and a half … leaving the house was a nightmare.
Halima accompanied me for four years (with breaks) during which she allowed me to gain confidence in myself, learn to know myself, feel better in my relationships with others, open up to others. From there I learned to manage my emotions and understand why they are there, I learned to know my abilities and with self-confidence I felt better at school and I managed to have better academic results. During my last sessions, I did the Hyperion therapy and today when I go to school I feel different: more self-assured, more at ease with others, less stressed, more confident, able to dare things that I couldn’t a few years ago.

When I am with my classmates I feel myself and well in my skin. Before my emotions upset me, today I feel more serene. All this I would not have achieved without the help of Halima whom I thank from the bottom of my heart and to whom I wish a very good continuation.

N.
