Alexandra Kurth

Alexandra Kurth has a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, and is a registered Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). She has worked with children with complex emotional experiences and trauma, using this experience to create the character "Armin" as a tool to educate children about their brains.

Having experienced anxiety as a child and intermittently throughout adulthood, she felt drawn to create a children's book that informs children that their anxiety is a normal experience created by the Amygdala. This book is a brief introduction to this concept.

Alexandra believes in educating children early about the role of the brain in creating emotions so that they are more empowered in coping with complex emotional experiences throughout their lives.
