My guest today is licensed therapist, Erica Zisman, who is also the creator behind @therapywitherica.
Erica and I sat down to talk about anxiety, with a focus on the uptick of anxiety specifically in children and young adults.
We discussed:
- defining anxiety and how it can manifest
- the recent increase in anxiety and possible reasons behind its rise
- how anxiety presents differently in children versus adults
- common mistakes that parents make with anxious children
- how parents can support their children and teens struggling with anxiety
- differences between internal and external perfectionism and what it means to be "high functioning"
- nervous system regulation, breathwork, and daily practices we can apply to reduce worrying
Erica kept it real and jargon-free, and I appreciated her practical and thoughtful approach to anxiety and emotional health.
