  • Highly recommend

    Growing up I had always struggled with anxiety and depression and how to cope with them. Throughout my childhood I have at least met six therapist who could only help for a brief time. We would at least have one to three appointments as far as I remember and then never see each other again. This made it easy to grow tired of searching and eventually gave up. I still managed to navigate through life as a deaf person with anxiety and depression just from the unconditional love that my parents gave... more

    I absolutely love the quick take aways. I can finish an episode and have one clear/simple task or phrase to incorporate into parenting my preteen and teen. So practical.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Supporting High Anxiety Children with Dr. Tamara Houssain
Q: What should parents do in the moment when their child's anxiety spikes and the prefrontal cortex isn't online yet?
She suggests calming techniques, modeling regulation, and co-regulation—staying present, lowering the environment's arousal, and guiding the child through a brief, safe space or activity to reset.
Supporting High Anxiety Children with Dr. Tamara Houssain
Q: What led you to focus on neuroscience and its application to everyday parenting?
Tamara explains a background in education and practical practice, then a pivot toward neuroscience to translate complex brain science into visuals, metaphors, and simple tools that parents can use at home.
Parenting Teens Through Emotional Crisis with Katie May
Q: What should parents do immediately if they suspect self-harm or see it occur?
Adults should stay calm, acknowledge the teen's feelings, avoid overreacting, and seek immediate professional guidance. It's important to ask open-ended questions using nonjudgmental language, validate emotions, and collaboratively establish a safety plan while connecting with appropriate therapy and, if needed, crisis resources.
Parenting Teens Through Emotional Crisis with Katie May
Q: What is the difference between self-harm and suicidality?
Self-harm is non-suicidal self-injury aimed at regulating overwhelming emotions, not an action taken with the intent to die. Suicidality involves thoughts or plans about ending one's life, which requires urgent safety-focused intervention.
Co-Parenting after Domestic Violence with Kathy “Justice” Jones
Q: What practical steps can a survivor take to protect their children during exchanges and ensure safety within a custody arrangement?
Establish predictable routines, use printable communications for court, create a long ride home decompression period, and implement family rules with positive reinforcement to counterbalance the abuser's negative influence.
