In this episode of On the Couch with Clare, I'm joined by Jack Ayoub — union organiser, former federal political candidate, opera singer, and unapologetic truth-teller. You may have seen Jack recently stirring up conversation with his bold piece in The Australian titled LGBTQIA+ Doesn't Speak for Me: It's Time to Dismantle the Rainbow Alliance.But beyond the headlines, Jack's story is one of resilience, community, and asking the tough questions — from growing up in rural NSW and overcoming hardship, to navigating identity, belonging, and the risk of being reduced to a label.In a world that loves neat categories, Jack's perspective challenges us to think more deeply about individuality, equality, and what genuine community really looks like.In this episode, we chat about:Who gets to speak for a community and why Jack believes no one can represent such diverse experiencesThe complexity of identity and why sexuality, gender or background shouldn't define the whole personGrowing up in rural NSW, hardship, loss and how real community changed Jack's lifeThe origins and evolution of the LGBTQIA+ movement — and whether it's time for honest reflectionWhy labels can feel both empowering and deeply limitingHow we have open, respectful conversations even when the topic is controversial.Links and Resources: Read Jack's article: LGBTQIA+ Doesn't Speak for Me: It's Time to Dismantle the Rainbow Alliance — Read it here (subscriber-only)Connect with Clare: Instagram YouTubeFacebook LinkedInWebsite More about On the Couch with Clare:Come take a seat On the Couch with Clare, your weekly dose of common sense and raw conversations, where psychology meets everyday life.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?We'd all love our children to breeze through school, enjoying a satisfying academic life, having lots of friends, and coming out at the end feeling a success. But what if you have a child that doesn't thrive in an academic environment? What if they can't or won't do the work? How do you deal with it and what techniques can you use to motivate them?According to eminent psychologist, Dr David Yeager, when kids hit puberty they're primarily looking for experiences that give them social status and respect.He says the common belief that teens and young adults are lazy and incompetent causes us to miss what really motivates them, and do some pretty dumb things that don't help.In his book, 10-25: The Science of How to Motivate Young People, Yeager - who's ranked as one of the top 0.1% most-influential psychologists in the world - explains how the science of motivating young people can help us to harness their drive for social status and a growth mindset so they're motivated to achieve their best.BOOK:10-25: The Science of Motivating Young PeopleDAVID YEAGER: Author/Professor/Scientistyeagerds@austin.utexas.eduTED Talks: Sir Ken Robinson Do schools kill creativity?https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity?language=enBooks referenced:The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned JohnsonThe Gift of Failure by Jessica LaheyThrivers by Michele BorbaSupport the showThank you so much for your support.

There has long since been a knowledge gap in medical education regarding care of LGBTQIA+ patients. This has manifested itself in health disparities that detrimentally affect the LGBTQIA+ population. This podcast serves as a way to start bridging the gap on order to mitigate the effects of bias, discrimination, and prejudice that queer patients often face in health care. Research has shown that consistent, early exposure in medical education to patients from the queer community has been beneficial in preparing future practitioners for gender inclusive care. We must also do our parts as pediatricians to make sure our queer youth grow into confident, thriving queer adults.  Join Dr. Farrah-Amoy Fullerton, a recent graduate of the pediatric residency program at MCG, and Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Lisa Leggio, as they introduce LGBTQIA+ health care disparities and describe ways to bridge the gap for eager general practitioners who would like to know more.

When Jason and Peter heard about a study suggesting that children in The Netherlands were the happiest kids in the world, their reaction was naturally…Really, no really! They were determined to find out how The Netherlands was able to lay claim to having the happiest children in the world! And more importantly…if their claim was true, what could be learned from their child rearing techniques.

If your child is afraid to speak around certain people, like adults or strangers, or in certain situations, like at school, they may be struggling with selective mutism. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder characterized by an inability to speak in certain settings and to certain people. It is commonly misunderstood as shyness or a child could even be misdiagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder or Oppositional Defiance Disorder. But what exactly is selective mutism and how can we tell the difference?  Today's guest helps demystify selective mutism and offers a lot of insight into ways we can help children thrive. Dr. Danielle Cornacchio is the newest member of ChildNEXUS! She is a clinical child psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatments for childhood anxiety, OCD, and disruptive behavior disorders. Dr. Cornacchio has particular expertise in behavioral treatment for childhood selective mutism. In this episode, Dr. Cornacchio explains what selective mutism is, but perhaps more importantly, she explains what it is not. She takes the time to describe what treatment for selective mutism might look like and emphasizes the importance of parent education and participation. Listen to learn more about this often misunderstood condition.   Show Notes: [2:27] - Selective mutism is classified as an anxiety disorder. It is a consistent failure to speak in certain situations despite speaking fine in others. [4:03] - Selective mutism is not Autism Spectrum Disorder or Oppositional Defiance Disorder. It is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. [7:13] - Kids with selective mutism will typically speak around their parents and siblings at home but won't speak at school. [11:24] - Information and research on treatment for selective mutism is very new but Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most beneficial. [14:04] - Dr. Cornacchio shares some of the ways selective mutism shows up including learning situations where talking is not necessary and something called contamination. [17:58] - Therapy sessions once a week are not enough if parents and family members are not also working with a child at home. [21:14] - It's human nature to want to protect your children and reduce their stress, but to overcome challenges, children need to step out of their comfort zones. [24:13] - Dr. Cornacchio demonstrates the steps in early therapy sessions with children with selective mutism including behavior descriptions and labeled praise. [26:34] - The type of question that we ask a child who is ready to speak really matters. [28:11] - Giving children ample time to answer a question can be uncomfortable for parents. [29:29] - After 5 seconds of wait time, if the child does not answer, Dr. Cornacchio demonstrates how to rephrase the question and try something different. [31:47] - But what happens if the child still does not answer a question after different strategies? [33:29] - Teachers do not have the luxury of trying questions multiple times and waiting for answers. But there is a Plan B for teachers to not ever give up on a question. [37:37] - It is important to connect with a provider, but it is challenging to find one that treats selective mutism.   About Our Guest: Dr. Cornacchio completed her PhD in Clinical Science in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Florida International University and her predoctoral internship training at the UCLA Semel Institute. She currently serves as a clinical instructor at the UCLA Psychology Department. Dr. Cornacchio founded and currently directs The WaveMind Clinic in Los Angeles, a clinic dedicated to providing specialized care to children and families with a variety of mental health needs, including selective mutism, OCD, and disruptive behavior disorders. She directs a training program for psychology students and postdoctoral trainees learning Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and treatment for childhood selective mutism. Dr. Cornacchio leads training for educators and professionals interested in learning more about how to treat selective mutism. Dr. Cornacchio's research interests focus on innovative treatment formats for difficult-to-treat child anxiety. She conducted the first randomized controlled trial of an intensive group treatment program for children with selective mutism and is currently co-authoring a manual that's in press on the delivery of intensive treatment for children with selective mutism.    Connect with Dr. Danielle Cornacchio: WaveMind Clinic Website ChildNEXUS Provider Profile Email: dcornacchio@wavemindclinic.com    Links and Related Resources: Selective Mutism Association website with many resources and a provider database Dr. Steve Kurtz's Selective Mutism Learning University self-guided course   Connect with Us: Get on our Email List Book a Consultation Get Support and Connect with a ChildNEXUS Provider Register for Our Self-Paced Mini Courses with LIVE AMA Sessions   The Diverse Thinking Different Learning podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Our NICU adolescents and teens sometimes find themselves trying to cope with a difficult medical diagnosis or a major life change. Dina O'Brien, a pediatric psychologist and NICU mom speaks from experience, on both sides, on how a parent can help their child.   In this episode, we chat about: Why did you pursue a career in pediatric psychology? What is the primary purpose of a pediatric psychologist? How did your background as a pediatric psychologist help or hinder your experience as a NICU mom with your fourth child? For parents, how do you know when your child may benefit from psychology and what are the things they might look for, or assess? How do you find a good pediatric psychologist? Some children don't exhibit effects of a NICU stay until they are well into their early adolescent years? How do you differentiate their challenges from NICU vs regular development? How would you define a successful outcome of a child who has undergone pediatric psychology? What's your best advice to a parent seeking psychological help for his/her child?   Dr. O'Brien is a licensed pediatric clinical psychologist currently working with Mary Bridge Children's Hospital and Harbor Pediatrics in Gig Harbor WA.  She has over 25 years of experience working with the mental health needs of children and teens.  In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and 4 boys, and spotting orcas across the PNW!   Connect with Dr. O'Brien: Website: www.drdinaobrien.com   The NICU is hard. We're here to help.   Hand to Hold is a national nonprofit dedicated to providing neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parents with personalized emotional support, educational resources and community before, during and after their baby's NICU stay.

Clinical psychologists Dr. Anne Marie Albano and Dr. Shannon Bennett are no strangers to the trials of social anxiety, both citing formative experiences in their youth that have shaped their careers. With decades of combined experience in the field, the two have contributed to the gold standard for treatment of anxious youth using cognitive behavioral therapies. Dr. Albano and Dr. Bennett share details on the proven effectiveness of treating parents alongside children, as well as incorporating immersive group therapy. They discuss how well-meaning but overprotective parenting can create further avoidant tendencies in children and young adults, and they explore the neuroscience that confirms how adolescent treatment for anxiety differs from that of young children or adults. For more information visit nyp.org/Advances

Original Air Date: September 14, 2021 Lisa Dion is joined by special guest Dr. David Crenshaw for a touching and heartfelt conversation about Finding the Hidden Gifts Within Children, especially those who have been deeply mistreated and hurt.  In this episode, David reminds you that children who have been wounded so often present with many protective patterns that often hide their inner treasures, talents, strengths, and deeper qualities about themselves.  And at times, these patterns are so strong in the child, that you might get easily swayed, become confused, or forget that they are protective strategies … Forgetting that under all that shutdown, back talk, aggressive behavior, or resistance, is the child's true self - their virtues, their essence, their wholeness. Listen as David shares his wisdom and some of the lessons learned from his 53 years in the field - and a key message to always look for the treasures buried within. *David A. Crenshaw, Ph.D. is Clinical Director of the Children's Home of Poughkeepsie He is Past-President of the New York Association for Play Therapy, a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist; a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychology, and a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor.  He has received several Lifetime Achievement Awards including most recently in 2021 by the Association for Play Therapy. He is the author/editor/co-editor of numerous books, book chapters, and journal articles on child aggression, play therapy and child trauma. * If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcast, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and invite your friends/fellow colleagues to join us.  *

With summer vacation underway here at the ABA Inside Track studios, we've decided to take a vacation with ourselves in this month's episodes while still checking out 14 recent articles across three different topics. Possibly at the beach. First, we'll be discussing the best way to min-max your school FBA before breaking out our fidget spinners with an updated review of research on ADHD treatments. Finally we look at multiple examples of articles discussing multiple exemplars. So, whether you're wearing a t-shirt, pajamas, or something in between, we've got a topic for you. At least, if we can pull Diana away from her Star Trek fanfic writing. Articles for July 2022 Functional Behavior Assessments in Schools Nesselrode, R., Falcomata, T.S., Hills, L., & Erhard, P.

Joining the conversation today is Dr. Thomas Brown, Director of the Brown Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders. Dr. Brown is also the author of several articles and books, but today we talk about his most recent book ADHD and Asperger Syndrome in Smart Kids and Adults.  Listen to Dr. Brown as he describes common difficulties individuals with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome have and how it impacts them going into adulthood. In many situations that he has seen, children with Asperger Syndrome go unnoticed until middle school, high school, or even beyond as their level of intelligence is generally very high. As they get older, executive functioning and social demands increase and that's where things might get challenging. This episode is about those struggles and helping these individuals better understand the world around them.   Show Notes: [2:49] - Dr. Brown shares what inspired him to write his most recent book, ADHD and Asperger Syndrome in Smart Kids and Adults: Twelve Stories of Struggle, Support, and Treatment. [4:01] - A common struggle for children and adults with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome is with socialization. [5:09] - Dr. Brown believes the grouping of Asperger Syndrome with Autism is a disservice and notes the differences. [6:24] - The executive functioning of those with ADHD and those with Asperger Syndrome have a lot of similarities. [8:52] - Autism Spectrum Disorder is a very broad spectrum but Dr. Brown notes some of the differences in Asperger Syndrome. [11:08] - Moving into middle school and high school makes things more difficult with executive functioning and social demands. [13:12] - Many times, Asperger Syndrome is not detected in early elementary grade levels. [15:24] - Another concern that Dr. Brown notes is regulating emotions. [17:32] - Dr. Brown looks closely at executive functioning to understand the profile for each child he sees. [19:30] - Dr. Brown gives an example of the complexity of ADHD. [22:17] - The cognitive ability of individuals with Asperger Syndrome is very high. [24:20] - Many times, they are not able to see someone else's perspective. [25:57] - In those with Asperger Syndrome, there is difficulty understanding how their interaction makes others feel. [27:42] - Dr. Brown shares a story of a man who continued to lose his job to demonstrate how social struggles can manifest in adulthood. [31:07] - Dr. Brown lists some of the noticeable social tendencies in early years. [32:51] - Emotional regulation also impacts motivation in both positive and negative ways. [34:47] - When Asperger Syndrome goes unnoticed until high school or even later, it can be difficult to deal with. Many times, individuals are praised for their intelligence but then struggle with other challenges. [38:01] - Remember that it is not intentional when individuals say something hurtful. [39:18] - While very intelligent, some individuals struggle with reading social cues. [40:11] - Dr. Brown says to remember strengths and talents in treatment.   About Our Guest: Thomas E.
