Currently advertising as Kids Anxiety Disorders Solutions on Facebook - why the change of name?

No reputable company that deals with the health of children would be so cagey about who they actually are, their approach, their credentials (professional registration and regulating body) or fees. It appears they hide any negative comments on Facebook also.

I watched the 45 minute webinar, and it was just plain strange! A disgruntled rant, wild claims and accusations, odd use of medical and psychological terminology, swearing, disorganised and theoretically incorrect, and littered with typos. All aimed at persuading distressed and vulnerable parents to sign-up.

I am suspicious of the many positive reviews on this page.

Anxiety help

I am currently doing this formula with my daughter and it has been a real eye opener to me. It all makes so much sense and for the first time in a long time I see a light at the end of this dark tunnel for my daughter and for me. We still have a way to go but I will carry on. There is nothing else out there like this and if you are desperate and have tried everything else, don't hesitate. The team are so supportive.

Honest review YCFF

We found YCFF a few weeks ago via Facebook. I initially was sceptical just because you tend to see a load of rubbish adds on Facebook but something made me look into this further. After doing some investigation myself online and watching the webinar we booked an initial telephone call with YCFF. After an extensive interview on the telephone which included relaying a fair amount of information regarding our child’s problems over the past year, we were advised that the symptoms are related to anxiety. We decided to join YCFF and take a leap of faith. The YCFF team have been amazing from the start, and we can already see a change in our family. The changes start with the parents and we were coached on how anxiety manifests and builds due to ever increasing adrenaline levels that basically can be crippling for the child to live with. Once you get this general overview everything falls into place regarding how recovery is absolutely possible.

The amount of support available is amazing from child and adult portals, to child and parent mentoring, to 3 times daily drop in zoom sessions. YCFF is definitely 100% a reputable company doing their utmost to recover as many families as possible from the nightmare of childhood/teenage anxiety disorder.

This is a private company and the cost of the programme is significant but I can say with confidence that it really is value for money. I would say also that it requires a fair amount of commitment from the whole family but is totally worth the investment for a child free of anxiety for the rest of their lives.

Incredible support and course!

I am quite new to this programme but my experience over the last 2 weeks has been amazing! I am a pharmacist and the science behind anxiety disorders taught by the YCFF has been a revelation - it now makes complete sense to me as to why conventional medical treatments and counselling do not work. Medication only ever treats the symptoms of anxiety to dull the body’s reactions to adrenaline, it will never cure the condition...but I truly believe that this formula can! Anxiety is not a mental health disorder and cannot be treated as such. The course teaches parents how to change their behaviour in order to reduce the child’s adrenaline response which in itself creates a much calmer environment. My son is 14 and unfortunately is adamant he will not engage with the course (we have previously been down the GP, CBT, Psychotherapy route none of which helped so he is very reluctant to try anything else) BUT it is early days for my family on the formula and the team are helping me massively with ideas on how to change this. The portal and daily zoom drop-ins (3 times a day, if you wish to join!) with a mentor and other parents have been invaluable and I feel so supported - I no longer feel alone in trying to cope with this terrible disorder. I am hopeful my son will engage with the course soon but as with all things, the need to get better has to come from the individual as well as the family and work needs to be done by all involved. I can already see small changes with his anxiety-related behaviour because we are reacting to him differently which is great!
I give Sam, Gracie (our mentor), Julie, Michaela and the team 10/10 for their passion, commitment and care on delivering this programme and in helping to cure children of their anxiety disorders!

Hey Lauren, thank you for your review and I spoke to Julie earlier this week and said you are one of our new
superstars, always on the sessions and utterly motivated. Our 2pm is in my diary and trust me, it is with 100% certainty that we will be victorious and win the day ! If it was that easy everyone would be doing it - But we are and you are here with us, and we love having you here x

Amazing

Words cannot really put into words how amazing this program is. And the all the people involved in it. From struggling with anxiety for years, I can honestly say that this helped me in ways that I couldn’t even imagine. The determination and passion that is put into every bit of this amazes me. Anything negative is completely incorrect. And I hope no one listens to the negative comments.

Hey Mya, thank you so much. You know that we would love very much for you to join, train and become part of our team - this door will always be open for you. It is profoundly unjust what is happening to our young people, and how uneducated the 'educated' are on anxiety disorders. You thought for so many years this was a mental condition and only managed - and now you know. So keep spreading the word, this is physiological and CAN be cured.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

With complete professionalism and kindness this team of experts help you and your child dig yourselves out of the patterns that have led your child to experience anxiety - with its myriad of symptoms.

The “treatment” is an amazingly thorough re-education and support system. Mentors support you and your child with regular one to one meetings for each of you. In addition there are critical parent group sessions which allow you to learn from others and share experiences and which are led by an anxiety expert. In addition there are hours of very useful videos (separate videos for adults and children) outlining the causes of anxiety and how to break free of it. Slowly you realise that getting out of anxiety and accompanying symptoms is a team effort - you may need to learn new parenting behaviours, and the team supports both of you.

Nothing is too much trouble for the Your Child Freedom Formula team. Although I was a little skeptical at first having tried other professionals, I have been amazingly impressed by the hours of support and care we have received. What you are taught here should be taught in schools, parenting classes and medical school. After waiting years for many other professionals to help and been disappointed- this team is a breath of fresh air. The science makes total sense and it is packaged so that everyone can understand it. If you are struggling with a child that is withdrawing, has panic attacks or seems overwhelmed or indeed displaying any of the symptoms on the YCFF website - speak to this team. I wish I had done so 3 years ago!

Hey Sam, a myriad is the perfect word. It may be an adrenaline disorder - but the symptoms, sensations and effects this has on the whole person and the family are devastating. Still perplexes me why when adrenaline effects the heart, skin, eyes, digestive system (well the whole body) why they still insist on calling it a mental disorder when it could be just as easily called a heart or eye disorder ! Love having you on board x

We joined Your Child Freedom Formula…

We joined Your Child Freedom Formula during the Easter break. I was feeling very lost and unable to help my daughter with her struggles. It has been a tough journey but 5 weeks in, worth every penny. The support we have - access to daily zoom calls, amazing mentors (Michaela and Sharon), Sam at the helm, has been amazing. Texts returned so quickly when I felt out of my depth and unable to work through scenarios. For our family, this has been about changing our behaviour (me and my husband) & becoming better parents. Yes it is a lot of very hard work and commitment, and we are working at it every day. Yes it has been tough. We are seeing great changes in our daughter, the team at YCFF have adapted the programme to fit in with our family, more than once! That's what I love about it, it isn't one size fits all. We have dealt with my own anxieties and parental behaviour, hard to admit, but hey, we are getting results. I would definitely recommend YCFF and it is great to know they will always be there for me and the family.

Dear Lisa, it is so easy to see people and judge, but no one ever knows the back stories and why we say and do the things we do. You astonished me from day one. You and Kevin sat listening to me rambling on both absolutely committed from the outset. Our paths would never have crossed under any other circumstances but you represent the perfect client for us here at YCFF - sheer dogged determination, grit and diligence. You even brought a flip chart, it simply does not get any better than that! It is not for everyone this journey and it is certainly not a case of chucking money at it. Amber is one lucky, lucky girl xx

Saved our family and our son

This company saved the life of my family and I would have paid 10 times the amount to learn from Sam and her team. In one month our house has gone from stress and anxiety to the fairly relaxed and happy household I always dreamed it could be. The results were immediate but it also required great commitment and inner work from both myself and my partner. If you are not prepared to commit and do the inner work and change your own behaviour then it’s not the course for you. If you on the other hand are ready to do whatever it takes to help your child then you have struck gold here with Sam and her team and your worries will soon be behind you. Please message me on Facebook if you would like a more direct review. I will be shouting for Sam and her company for the rest of my life because of what she does and how impactful it is in overcoming anxiety which was literally destroying all our lives and especially our 10 year old son. I do not recognise the old family ways and wake up every morning feeling blessed for the existence of Sam and YCFF. Please do not hesitate to do it - I know you feel massively vulnerable when it comes to your kids but really this is the best solution out there by far.

My sister recently completely the course & the difference in her is so lovely to see.
She seems calmer, happier and notably less anxious.
It’s lovely to see the difference in not just her but my nieces who definitely seem to be reaping the benefits of my sister’s new found ‘calm’.

So much love and appreciation

I have been a mentor for YCFF since they started and it is the most rewarding career I could have hoped for. As someone who struggled with anxiety myself growing up I could only wish this existed for me back then. I have been committed to helping an many people as I could since I recovered because I know how difficult it was to live with.
I feel so appreciative for this wonderful company and how well supported I have been by Sam and Martin thorough my training and working with them as a mentor. I have found my calling! I put my heart and soul into helping these children and family's as does everyone else in the company and we are doing such amazing work, I have never come across anything anywhere near as effective for anxiety recovery. The best part is the smiles you get from the kids as their experiences start to improve and the 'thank yous' from their parents as they get their child back.

The saddest thing about the negative…

The saddest thing about the negative comments on here about YCFF is that, if I had read them before joining the programme, I would probably not have joined. I am so so thankful I didn’t see them. I don’t know where we would be now if I had.

Maybe those writing the reviews believe what they are saying and think they are actually helping others (or maybe not), either way what they are actually doing, potentially, is taking away an opportunity for those who have nowhere else to turn to finally get the help they need. So if the negative reviews on YCFF are having their desired effect, please think twice.

I can only speak from my families experience. It will work. They will be there for you and your family until your child is fully recovered, no matter how long that may be. You just need to put your trust in them.

My heartfelt thanks goes to Sam and her team. Stay strong. Don't let the haters get you down. You are appreciated.

Feeling Extremely Hopeful About This Company

So my son is 17 and going through your typical teenage symptoms, but unfortunately on top of that suffers from mild ADHD. He has done CAMHS, Tavistock Centre and spoken to various counsellors. Unfortunately nothing has really stuck. My son suffers from anxiety and depression and after doing some research, i came across YCFF. I have been on the website and researched their work ethic and structure and find it extremely intriguing. It actually gives me some hope that this kind of mentoring can actually be of some major use for myself and my son. I will certainly be considering signing up and judging by the positive genuine reviews that have been left, it encourages me even more to open my son up to this opportunity. Well done YCFF, you have obviously got the best intentions for our kids.

Anthony’s review.…

I think for me over I dunno I how long it’s been but it has helped a lot. I think the thing that has helped me is learning what anxiety it is. Why I have the feelings that I have and the thoughts. Why I have the physical symptoms that’s not really being scared of it anyone that has been a big thing for me. And just letting my thoughts, feelings and physical symptoms being there without really worrying about it and following it. Just realising I have these things because I have anxiety and it has really helped me and I have used this approach because of the sessions I have attended. I think my mentor has been very good a very kind and caring lady. This has organisation also get the parents involved and let them know what they have to do in their role to get me out of anxiety. It does help because sometimes you don’t feel you have courage to tell your parents they need to change things in order for do have less anxiety and be a bit more happier but because of this program it has allowed me to do that. They make the parents change things in order for me to feel less anxious and more happier and and me as well so that helps a lot. I am defiantly enjoying life a bit more now!

Life Changing Experience

Life Changing Experience

My wife found Your Child Freedom Formula when we were really struggling with our oldest daughter. We had tried all the traditional avenues, Dr, Therapy, Camhs, counselling. None of it helped.
We were at the end of our rope, felt helpless and desperate. I would be lying if I did not say I was sceptical at first, mainly because I could not believe that there was a solution for my daughter. Was a couple we decided to make a plan to get on board, and give our daughter the opportunity to recover from this fear and dread that was consuming her and the rest of our family.

I am so pleased we did, the work that YCFF did with us was incredible. At no stage was anything to much and my family did not fit the normal timings and recovery process. YCFF, worked with us, guided us and stood by our side until we had our daughter back. Until our family was back on track and living a normal life free of Anxiety.

As parents it is a big step to take but one you will never regret.

Thank you to Sam and her team for everything.

Found YCFF through Facebook

Found YCFF through Facebook , booked a call in January this year. Our son was really suffering and so down he dropped out of college and his life, no socialising or communicating, we were at our wits end and really struggling for where to turn next. After speaking to Carole our son was assigned Aimee as his mentor, she was amazing , she got him out of his safe place and slowly over the 12 weeks he began to interact with us again and started going out to the shops and to play basket ball with his friends. We are so, so happy we found you and want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for helping our son climb back out of the valley and into the sunshine again , he has booked himself into college in September and is also learning to drive ! Thank you Aimee you are a star and because of you Ben has a future xxx

Hey Lynne, thank you for writing such a lovely note and I shall call Aimee now and let her know your kind words. It is often a messy start and Mums and Dads come here from a very dark place. A place having heard things that no parent should ever have to hear and experience. I think you now would support the statement that the effort it takes to get back to the sunshine is big and the journey back not always a straight road - but my God it is worth every second. We always say that under the anxiety in ALL these children lies strength, determination and wonderful creative intellect - Watch out world these amazing children are coming out and they will be leaders, creators, visionaries !!!! I am just honoured you trusted us with your amazing boy. Thank you from me and Aimee xx

Trustpilot please see my evidance that…

I have had a terrible experience with this company, they are not medically trained and lots of their sales and mentor staff are ex-customers. The therapeutic content we experienced was science about adrenalin and that’s it... I think thats all they’ve got. I got some of my money back through my credit card and now they are taking me to court because they want it back, and have double the amount because of my reviews.

IF YOU HAVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE PLEASE GET IN TOUCH, THANK YOU x

Hey Cya, so sorry not to have responded before now, I know this is your third post, so huge apology for the delay.
Aimee is also trying to get hold of you too?
After you called her last Saturday she is wants to understand your subsequent posts.
(appears your friend may also have posted too?)
We understand you wanted to stop as your circumstances changed - but Aimee explained on Saturday that you have LIFETIME access?
She was your daughter's mentor for over 2 months and is beyond upset.

Just to add:
You have full access to our daily drop in sessions at 11am, 1pm or 7pm and your place here is FOR LIFE.
We do have Mums who guest on our daily drop in sessions so other Mums can speak to people who have been through the formula.
We have mini mentor sessions for our young people after they have recovered, you were most certainly NOT invited to these or to stay as a guest, with respect.
We are not counsellors - we do not dredge up the past we get children the future they deserve.

Again, Cya you can always come back - I know you struggle with your anxiety too and for this reason we will always look past anxiety fueled behaviours.
Having suffered myself as you know from 11 years old until 29 (sadly I am now 52!!) I get it.
My behaviour in those awful adrenaline fueled days was aggressive and volatile. Believe it or not we would like you both to come back and carry on!
You know we are not a scam, you know we are not pyramid sellers - why not jump on tonight at 7pm ?

Thank goodness we found this formula !!

Early days for us, but we are so relieved to have found such a logical explanation for what our children have been suffering. We know this will be hard work but we are 100% committed to see this through to the end as we already know that we will all have gained greater happiness, inner strength and freedom by the time we reach the other side. This is absolutely NOT a scam, but run by genuine, compassionate and supportive people. I was sceptical until the my first drop in session when I found myself completely reassured by listening to all the other parents' experiences. So ..... onwards & upwards for us now.......
Thank you, Sam & team xo

Our road to recovery.

The last year has been like hell! Our beautiful, talented , intelligent daughter became an anxious scared little girl that I did not recognise. The impact on her, our family and our whole life has been immense. We have barely been functioning. We sought help from everywhere we could, CAHMs hadn’t got the resources so we paid privately. After spending a fortune on private therapy we were told it wasn’t working and we needed to try something else. We again turned to CAHMs and medication. My daughter told me she couldn’t do anymore talking therapy. We were lost, we had failed our daughter. I came across this program on Facebook. I was sceptical. We joined the webinar and for the first time we felt someone knew what we were going through. We booked a call and haven’t looked back. We are now about 10 weeks into the program. We had regular meetings 4/5 a week for the first 6 weeks as a family, our daughter continues with sessions but less frequently. We have spent today clothes shopping, tomorrow we are looking at cars in preparation for driving lessons. 10 weeks ago we couldn’t leave the house, we were trapped and scared. Now there is a future. It has only been possible with the support of Sam. It’s not been an easy process, there have been some uncomfortable conversations. As a family we have worked hard! I can only speak from our experience but I wish we’d found this 12 months ago. I also wish to add that we have not been paid for this review or the video we have made to share our experience. I only want to help those in a similar position to ours, it’s a lonely place.

Incredible

What can I say, we have spent years with my daughter going through such a terrible time of self harm, suicidal, sobbing, being Angry, as parents we felt utterly helpless. We had paid thousands on a counsellor, CAHMs was an utter joke. Then one day I listened to a webnair on face book and was in floods of tears, they were talking about all the symptoms that my daughter suffered from and I felt that although it was very expensive, there didn’t seem to be any other kind of help around, I felt my daughter slipping away from us. So for my daughter I took a leap of faith, we started on the Journey and my daughter did not at first want to listen, but very quickly she started to engage, she didn’t believe that she suffered from anxiety until it was explained to her in a way she understood. I’m so grateful for the change in my daughters life. My daughter is also so grateful for being now in a much happier place in her life. I’m really not sure where we would be now if it wasn’t for this team. Thank you so much xx

Getting our Daughter back !!

Felt the need to write review, after reading negative review, and our experience to date 4 weeks into the formula.

Having tried several other routes of so called help, which has only helped our daughters anxiety spiral further.

Determind to help our daughter, we signed up to this different appproach, knowing it takes 100% commitment, from both our daughter and us, as parents to succeed.

Our initial parent / mentor sessions has given us an incredible understanding of what our daughter has been living with, and the skills we need to apply, in supporting our daughters path, to living the life she deserves.

The change so far in 4 weeks has been nothing less than astonishing !

As parents we are walking on clouds, instead of eggshells.

Ignore the comment on being a Pyramid Scheme, we are proof.of that, and do not work for the formula.

I would happily allow Sam and the team to contact us personally to vouch for the integrity of the formula.

After a long week - when you both came in Friday night you filled my heart with joy again, all of us - you filled ALL our hearts with joy. The 'troll' will be taken to court to prevent others being blocked from getting the help they need. When you came on and said what you both said it confirmed the importance of taking this action. I know (we all know) it is not a gentle route back to normality - reversing anxiety to normal and reversing behaviours to normal all come with challenges, trials and tribulations. As we say to EVERY PARENT who comes here. Respect, admiration and you should be so bloody proud of yourselves. On Friday night you made the awful week disappear so thank you so much. Sam x
