Is your teen constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or shutting down? In this episode, we explore practical, research-backed ways to help them regain calm and confidence, without forcing or fixing.
Join me, Cynthia Coufal, teen anxiety coach, as I sit down with Dr. Matthew Berstein, psychologist, educator, and mindfulness expert, for a refreshing conversation about how anxiety shows up in teens and what actually helps.
You’ll learn:
Why typical adult responses can backfire with anxious teens
How mindfulness can be accessible and effective—even for skeptical teens
What self-awareness looks like in real life (not just theory)
Simple ways you can support your teen without increasing tension
Whether you're a parent, educator, or coach, this episode is packed with takeaways you can use today.
