"Lions and Tigers and Bears, (and CBT) Oh My!" Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - What it is and how it can help anxiety and depression in your kids
Episode 52
Friday, 1 March, 2024

In this episode we interview clinical psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Cohen clinical about the huge uptick in anxiety and depression in our kids since the pandemic and how CBT is providing a lifeline for many families. Therapists using CBT work with anxious and depressed children and teens to help them identify the specific triggers that lead to their anxiety and give them strategies to develop resilience and to handle discomfort. We also discuss how parents can work with the principals of CBT including taking a “fear inventory” to help their children and teens at home. Finally, we’ll discuss whether medication is helpful or something to be avoided.
