Dr. Lisa Damour | Teen Anxiety, Big Feelings, and When to Worry

Dr. Lisa Damour is a psychologist, bestselling author, and one of the clearest voices on teenagers, anxiety, and adolescent development. She is the author of Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, and served as a scientific consultant on Disney/Pixar's Inside Out 2. This week, Lisa joins Marlon to talk about teen mental health, healthy coping, anxiety, screen time, emotional regulation, and what parents actually need to know about when to worry. They also get into why big feelings are not always a problem to solve, connection before correction, and why teenagers are often more compassionate than adults give them credit for.
