Description
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about... 3:07 - Addressing your own anxiety and the "what if's" first, so you can separate your emotions from your child's experiences and feelings. 6:59 - Shifting this parent's thoughts from "I am responsible for fixing this" to "I am responsible for paying attention." 8:44 - Utilizing school resources and familiarizing yourself (and your child) with the mental health support system that the college or university provides to their students. 11:52 - The symptoms that parents can be on the lookout out for if you're worried that your child may be depressed. 12:52 - Parent's don't need to be the one to determine if your teen is having a mental health issue that requires additional support. You can bring in a therapist to do an assessment so you don't feel all the pressure to "diagnose" your child. 17:10 - Even if your adolescent voices resistance to the suggestions you give them, it doesn't mean that advice doesn't actually land. ✨We want to hear from you!
