Episode Details
Back to EpisodesAnxiety in Girls - What if We’ve Got It Backwards?
Description
It feels like every teenage girl is struggling with anxiety right now.
But what if we’re looking at it the wrong way?
Not every anxious moment means she has an anxiety disorder.
In fact, most of the time, her anxiety is just a natural response to an overwhelming world - not a sign that something is wrong with her.
In this episode, we break down:
✔ Why anxiety doesn’t start in the brain (and what actually triggers it).
✔ The difference between an anxious response and an anxiety disorder.
✔ How to help your daughter feel safe again - without reinforcing the anxiety cycle.
If you’ve ever wondered WTF is going on when your daughter spirals, this episode is for you.
If today's episode landed for you, if you heard something that made you think yes, that's my daughter, that's exactly what's going on, then I want you to know there's a place where we go deeper on all of this together. It's called WTF - What's The Feeling - and it's my membership for mums who are ready to stop firefighting and start actually understanding what's going on. You'll find the link here. Come and have a look. I think you'll feel right at home.
