In this two part virtual webinar, Lynn Lyons teaches the concrete approach that she uses in her private practice. While anxiety often shows up during childhood and FEELS more manageable to parents, it often gains steam and power during the 'tween and teen years. Anxiety often teams up with depression during adolescence, shutting down teens at the time when they want (and need!) to be connected to school, friends and their own plans for the future. The patterns are often more engrained and the stakes feel higher. Parents and teens need support and direction to break the patterns that feed worry, avoidance, and accommodation; there will be a focus on mood management as well. This webinar is geared toward parents/caregivers of tweens and teens (approx age 13+) and teens are welcome to attend with parents.
All registrants will receive recordings of both sessions to view for 30 days after the webinar concludes. (Recordings will be uploaded to your attendee dashboard immediately after the live event.)
You'll learn:
• The big traps that parents and teens get stuck in...it's easy to "do the disorder"
• How to change your family's "big picture" relationship to worry (rather than getting stuck in the details of it)
• How to anxiety and depression share patterns and tend to hang out together
• Why a lot of therapy doesn't really offer what you need to help your family
• How to work with schools to create clinically sound plans
• How to communicate with your teen and create consistent expectations
After our first two hour session, I'll give you assignments to work on, concrete changes to make! In our second meeting, I'll answer questions and help you solidify your approach. Knowing WHAT to do and HOW to respond is the key to interrupting anxiety's patterns.
