Anxiety in Girls - What if We’ve Got It Backwards?

Send us Fan Mail It feels like every teenage girl is struggling with anxiety right now. But what if we’re looking at it the wrong way? Not every anxious moment means she has an anxiety disorder. In fact, most of the time, her anxiety is just a natural response to an overwhelming world - not a sign that something is wrong with her. In this episode, we break down: ✔ Why anxiety doesn’t start in the brain (and what actually triggers it). ✔ The difference between an anxious response and an anxiety disorder. ✔ How to help your daughter feel safe again - without reinforcing the anxiety cycle. If you’ve ever wondered WTF is going on when your daughter spirals, this episode is for you. If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called Connect the Dots. It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter.
