[Repost] #109 - Under Pressure - How Anxiety Shows Up for Today’s Teen Girls and How Parents Can Help with Lisa Damour, PhD

Most American kids are officially back to school in some way
shape or form. As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, now we
have COVID and our kids well-being to contend with this year. I’m
bringing back a personal and fan favorite all about stress and
anxiety in girls.


Lisa D’Amour is a clinical psychologist, columnist and author and
in this episode we discuss her New York Times bestselling book
Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in
Girls.


We discuss what's normal and actually beneficial for teen girls
when it comes to stress and anxiety, when you should worry, as
well as the options available for talking with girls and young
women to reduce their stress and anxiety on everything from
embracing their bodies, dating to setting boundaries.


We also get into an important conversation on microaggressions
and racism -- pressures from our culture girls can't control, but
we as parents and helping professionals can help all girls get
through.


This episode was first aired in February 2019.
