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

I'm loving this show today, all about anxiety and girls with
bestselling author Dr. Lisa Damour. Her new book has just been
released: 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.
