Episode Description
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Sophia Vale Galano, LCSW about teenage anxiety. Sophia discusses her journey to specializing in teenage anxiety and what led her to publish her book Calming Teenage Anxiety: A Parent's Guide to Helping Your Teenager Cope with Worry. Sophia describes some of the common signs and symptoms of anxiety in adolescents, as well as some of the main contributing factors to the increase in adolescent anxiety we are currently seeing. We discuss ways parents can help their teenagers cope with anxiety, as well as some common mistakes parents make when it comes to supporting their anxious teen. Sophia also shares additional supports parents can enlist to help their adolescent manage anxiety. We end the episode by Sophia providing words of encouragement and advice to parents who are currently trying to support their anxious teen.
