You can have anxiety AND be happy, successful and have a life!

I love, love, LOVE when people share about their experiences living with anxiety and still being able to enjoy their lives. Thank you @TodayShow and @CarsonDaly for including this important segment in today’s show. He shares that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, progressive muscle relaxation and exercise work to help manage his anxiety - all tools I practice with my clients (amongst others!). By working with a therapist, Mr. Daly shares that he has learned to embrace who he is and has the tools to work through those periods of anxiety.

"I may be a little anxious, but I know I'm going to be okay." Amen to that, Carson.

Let's get the conversation started - 1 in 5 American children are struggling with a mental health disorder

It is no secret and there is nothing wrong with you (if you are an adolescent) or you (if you are a parent!). It's a part of life and many children struggle with mental health disorders. If you are a parent, please do not minimize how your child is feeling. If you are an adolescent, please reach out to an adult to seek support!
