Dr. Regine Galanti joins me to talk teen anxiety, how our teen clients have managed COVID, and how to engage to reluctant teens in mindfulness practices. Don’t miss Dr. Galanti’s top tips for managing back to school anxiety during COVID. We also discuss our favourite anxiety apps, why cognitive restructuring falls short, and how we are managing our own ethical dilemmas as we debate returning to face to face sessions.
