CHILDHOOD SEPARATION ANXIETY
When my memoir, Little Panic, came out, I spent over two years on a book tour and did many podcasts.
I have several I love, and this one with the child psychologist Natasha Daniels (whom I’ve mentioned before) is one of them.
I share it now because it’s an excellent preview of things I discuss in the digital workshop The Little Panic Approach to Supporting Your Anxious Child, but also because it’s a natural leadup to a piece I’m working on now that is, perhaps, the most personal How to Live piece I’ve ever written.
I hope today’s video resonates with you.
My most profound insights don't go in the free version—they're distilled from my 27 years in therapy, decades of independent study, and work as a mental health advocate. These frameworks and perspectives are reserved for readers committed to going deeper.
