PTL 009 September Blues w/Kelsey Wiemer

September Blues: Returning to School with HeartIn this episode of the Power to Live Podcast, Ryan is joined by senior therapist Kelsey Wiemer to explore the “September Blues” — that mix of stress, anticipation, and transition as kids, parents, and teachers return to school.Together, they discuss:Why September feels like such an intense transition month.Common struggles for kids, parents, and teachers — from separation anxiety to pressure to “get it right” on day one.How Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), ACT, and other behavioural approaches can support emotional awareness and resilience.Practical tips: flexible routines, grounding techniques, open dialogue at home, and daily rituals for self-care.Why safety, connection, and kindness are more powerful than fear or rigid discipline.Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or student, this conversation offers gentle, real-world strategies for easing into the school year with compassion and resilience.⁠⁠⁠⁠The Power to Live Foundation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a charity committed to breaking down financial barriers to therapy.
