Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson

It’s so hard being a teenager. Pressures and expectations from friends, peers, parents, and those that they put on themselves can weigh heavily. Add in academic pressures, bullying, body image issues, changing bodies, romantic relationships, the ‘always on’ nature of the digital age plus the impacts of the pandemic and it’s no surprise we’re seeing overwhelming rates of stress and anxiety among teens the world over. In today’s episode, the incredible Professor James (Jim) Mazza shares practical distress tolerance skills for teens, when and how to teach them, and how we can all equip the teens in our lives to cope with the huge ups and downs of life with healthy strategies that work.James J. Mazza is a professor in the School Psychology Program at the University of Washington and has been working for over 30 years with high-risk adolescents who engage in self-harming behaviors and specifically suicidal behavior. He was the past president of the American Association of Suicidology from 2005-2007 and is still actively involved in trying to help school psychologists play a major role in helping to prevent suicidal and self-harming behavior among students. His current research focus is centered around the implementation of a universal emotion regulation SEL curriculum called DBT STEPS-A. This unique curriculum is based on the DBT skills that have been used effectively with highly suicidal adults and adolescents.mazza@uw.eduhttps://www.dbtinschools.com/Purchase: DBT Skills in Schools Book@dbtinschools@JimMazza,PhDThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Tapping. Have you heard of it? Have you tried it for anxiety, chronic pain, or something else? I was a total tapping skeptic to begin with, and had been for years before a listener reached out an asked me to record an episode on tapping for anxiety. My research revealed a mountain of evidence, including systematic reviews and meta analyses, data that lead me to the wonderful work of Dr Peta Stapleton who joined me for this episode. Combining elements of exposure, cognitive restructuring and acupoint stimulation, tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), are effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression and PTSD and more. A technique I highly recommend adding to your anxiety toolkit.Dr Peta Stapleton WebsiteDr Peta on Facebook Dr Peta on LinkedIn Dr Peta on Instagram EFT TrainingTapping for Veterans WorldwideThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Brene Brown tells us that perfectionism is not the same as striving to be your best, healthy achievement and growth. Though some view it as a positive trait it’s actually debilitating in two main ways; an insatiable drive to meet unrealistic standards often spending way too long on unnecessary detail and prioritising the end product over the learning process, or feeling so pressured to achieve an unreachable standard that procrastination sets in and nothing gets done. In this episode Dr Clarissa Ong explains the double edged sword of perfectionism, the costs of rigidity over flexibility and what we can all do to operate differently, or support young people to let perfectionism go.Dr Clarissa OngThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

At the risk of making you anxious I have something to tell you; if we’re not careful, we could spend as much as 17 years of our lives staring at our devices if we don’t do something about our digital habits. In this conversation Dr Kristy Goodwin shares the details of an accident with one of her boys that fuelled her determination to help us all to become the master of our devices rather than slaves to our screens. She explains how our devices trigger our fight or flight response, why our devices have such a magnetic pull and practical, do-able changes we can put into place to put us back in control and give us more time back. Time for work we care about, time with our families, time doing the things we only have one lifetime to do.Dr Kristy’s WebsiteDear Digital, We Need To Talk…Dr Kristy on LinkedInDr Kristy on InstagramDr Kristy on FacebookThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This week’s guest, the phenomenal autism academic and advocate Dr Luke Beardon, completely rejects the model of autism as a deficit, as a disorder, as individuals with impairments.
