Living Your Best Life with Gav Thompson

S1 EP6 Hector + Polly Boswell | Childhood Anxiety


Listen Later

In Episode 6, Gav Thompson talks to Hector Boswell, 14, who was clinically diagnosed with anxiety when he was 10 years old.

Episode Six - Childhood Anxiety

Hector always knew he was different from most of his friends. He got nervous and anxious about stuff that didn't seem to bother other kids of his age. When, aged 10,  he finally told his mum, Polly, "Make these feelings go away", the family knew it was time to act.

Hector has learnt to live with his anxiety and, remarkably, now talks very openly and publicly about how this condition feels as a child.

Both Hector & Polly chat to Gav with real honesty and insight into how they learnt to live with the diagnosis, how it effects the family and how Hector has thrived in the 4 years since.
