Remember that anxious feeling in your stomach before a big test or presentation? Now imagine that feeling amplified, constant, and impacting every aspect of your life. That's what many teens experience with anxiety.
In this powerful episode of The Teen Anxiety Maze, I delve into navigating the tricky maze of teen anxiety. Whether you have a teenager yourself, know someone who does, or simply want to be a supportive friend, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips.
Here's a sneak peek of what you'll discover:
Demystifying Anxiety: We'll explore the difference between normal teenage behavior and red flags indicating anxiety that needs attention.
My Personal Journey: I'll share my own story of how my daughter's anxiety went unrecognized for years, and the lessons I learned along the way. (Next week, stay tuned for a conversation WITH my daughter from her perspective!)
Early Warning Signs: Learn to recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that your teen may be struggling with anxiety.
Opening the Conversation: Discover actionable tips for initiating a conversation about anxiety with your teen, without triggering defensiveness or shutting them down.
Building a Support System: We'll discuss the importance of professional help, and explore alternative resources and self-management techniques you can practice together.
Empowering Your Teen: Learn how to encourage your teen to take control of their anxiety and build resilience.
Bonus: I've also included a list of open-ended questions you can use to gently start the conversation with your teen about anxiety, as well as links to valuable resources and support groups.
