Educational and Child Psychologist, Dr. Tamara Houssain, joins Bryce Hamilton LSCSW, to discuss her research and expertise as it pertains to children and anxiety. They dive into the brain science of what’s going on when a child is experiencing anxiety and why. Together they share from a logical perspective how to actually help reduce the “alarm” in the brain that causes an anxiety attack and help ease children.  Dr. Houssain explains why some approaches simply don’t or won’t work for someone experiencing anxiety and what to try instead. They discuss anxiety awareness and how it seems to be more prevalent, why, and what parents can do. This episode is full of helpful information, education, and understanding.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6F0I9tJNok #ParentingAdvice #ChildDevelopment #FamilyWellness #ParentingSupport #TherapyTalk #accidentalexperts #brycehamiltonlscsw #therapyadvice #anxiety #anxietysupport #ocd  #teenanixety #anxietytreatment #anxietydisorder #gad #parenting #anxietyattack #panicattack #teensupport #brainscience #neuroscience Dr. Tamara Houssain is a HCPC Registered Educational and Child Psychologist with 12 years of experience supporting children and young people with developmental, educational, and mental health needs.
