In this episode of Teen Anxiety Maze, I welcome the extraordinary Dr. Tara Perry, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine whose approach to anxiety has transformed celebrities, Olympians, and thousands of everyday people struggling with invisible burdens.
Have you ever wondered why your teen's anxiety persists despite their best efforts? Dr. Perry reveals the profound truth: we're often operating on outdated internal programming installed between ages 2-10, carrying invisible 100-pound backpacks of emotional weight we don't even realize we're bearing.
This conversation unveils the magnificent power of your subconscious mind - processing an astounding 40 MILLION bits of information per second compared to just 40 bits consciously. Dr. Perry shares breathtaking stories of transformation, including her 89-year-old mother healing a shattered kneecap through subconscious work, and a military veteran finding peace after years of maximum-level PTSD.
What touched me deeply was realizing how we unknowingly pass anxiety through generations, modeling for our children what we learned from our parents. But here's the beautiful truth - this cycle can be broken, often more quickly than you'd imagine.
Dr. Perry offers practical wisdom for immediate implementation:
The "puppy dog" approach to retraining your nervous system
Why celebrating small wins rewires your brain for success
How diet, breath work, and connection create the foundation for lasting change
This episode isn't just information—it's an invitation to transformation for both you and your teen. As Dr. Perry says, "I feel like I get paid to let people out of prison, and that thrills me."
