Have you ever wondered why anxiety in children can look and feel so physical—and what we as pediatricians, parents, or caregivers can do about it? We're visiting a fan favorite from Episode #26 of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with Dr. Colleen Cullinan, a leading pediatric psychologist, to dissect the powerful 3 B's approach: Brain, Body, and Behavior. Together, they reveal eye-opening truths about integrated behavioral health, the ways anxiety manifests in kids, and practical, actionable strategies for managing emotional meltdowns in real-time. This is not just about recognizing anxiety—it's about transforming how we support kids inside and outside the exam room. If you want to empower families, level up your clinical skills, and make a tangible difference, don't miss this conversation. This episode could change the way you think about pediatric care—forever.[00:00 - 11:35] Integrated Care Foundations: Building Partnerships in Pediatric PracticeIntegrated behavioral health bridges the gap between physical and mental health, creating seamless care experiences for families.Primary care is often the first—and sometimes only—entry point for children facing emotional or behavioral challenges.Partnerships between pediatricians and behavioral health providers increase accessibility, reduce stigma, and foster earlier intervention.The synergy and trust between pediatricians and psychology professionals leads to holistic, effective patient care.[11:36 - 15:49] The Role of Primary Care in Managing Anxiety and Emotional HealthPrimary care providers serve as trusted anchors, introducing mental health as an essential component of overall health.Familiarity with a child's history allows pediatricians to recognize subtle behavior changes and collaborate meaningfully with behavioral specialists.Normalizing physical symptoms of anxiety (like stomachaches and headaches) helps bridge conversations from medical to emotional concerns.Educating families on the inseparability of physical and emotional health empowers them to seek support without shame.[15:50 - 28:55] Anxiety Explained: The 3 B's and Practical Strategies for KidsThe "3 B's": Brain, Body, and Behavior, are interlinked—anxiety in the brain triggers body sensations, which guide behavior, often leading to avoidance.Psychoeducation is key: Emphasizing to families and youth that everyone experiences anxiety validates their feelings and reduces shame.Simple, actionable distress tolerance tools—breathing exercises, grounding techniques (like the “five senses” method), and focusing attention—can be taught in minutes during a regular visit.Providers can help children recognize “worry thoughts” and redirect their response before anxiety spirals into withdrawal or meltdown.[28:56 - 49:20] When to Escalate: Distress Tolerance, Prevention, and Team-Based SolutionsDistress tolerance techniques can bridge the gap until a child can access specialized behavioral care—or be sufficient for milder cases.Functional impairment is the marker for when anxiety moves from “manageable” to requiring traditional CBT or higher-level intervention.Exposure therapy explained: At its core, CBT for anxiety involves identifying fears and encouraging gradual, manageable exposure to them, with improvement through repetition.Advocacy for integrated behavioral health, resource sharing, and ongoing partnerships with community therapists are essential for sustainable, high-impact child mental health care.[49:21- 53:34] Dr. Lia's...

OCD had been part of Emma's life for many years, although she just didn't know it. Like for so many of us, her life-long OCD wasn't picked up on until early motherhood, after two miscarriages and the birth of a premature baby during a pandemic lockdown. In Emma's words, “it awoke the OCD beast.” This is one mother's poignant story about the pain of loss, of experiencing depression and an OCD crisis in motherhood, the resulting shame and anger that came with the diagnosis, and the all-too-familiar lengthy and financial barriers encountered when seeking support. This is also one mother's touching story about the very real power that radical acceptance, psychoeducation, writing, and community can have on the journey towards recovery and taming the ‘OCD beast'. This is Emma's story - of both power and pain, of acceptance and resistance, of isolation and community - and it's a story that will stay with you for a long time. Please note, this episode discusses miscarriage, molar pregnancy, the loss of a loved one, suicidal ideation, and termination of pregnancy.

One of the main roles of a clinician is to provide as much knowledge as possible when supporting clients in treatment. But when does knowledge and education, or psychoeducation as it's known, become a reassurance trap when treating OCD? In this skills episode, we'll explore how to detect if psychoeducation is bordering on reassurance, and how to navigate that with your client. We'll also discuss the importance of transparent conversations, how sometimes providing a little bit of reassurance is alright, and that even we clinicians have to learn to accept uncertainty.    Connect: https://www.melbournewellbeinggroup.com.au/ http://www.drcelingelgec.com.au/ This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Top Idea Reports from the EA Philippines Mental Health Charity Ideas Research Project, published by Shen Javier on May 24, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In October 2021 to May 2022, EA Philippines organized the Mental Health Charity Ideas Research project. The project's goal was to find ideas that can become highly impactful and cost-effective charities in improving the well-being of people living in the Philippines and other low- to middle-income countries. It focused on children and adolescent mental health. This was a follow-up to the participation of Brian Tan and myself in Charity Entrepreneurship's 2021 Incubation Program, in their region-specific track for training people to research the top charity ideas in a region. The project was awarded $11,000 in funding from the EA Infrastructure Fund in 2021 for 1.2 FTE in salary for the project for 8 months. Brian transitioned to being an advisor of the project early on, and AJ Sunglao was brought on as a part-time project co-lead, while two part-time researchers (Mae Muñoz, and Zam Superadble) were also hired. Links to our reports We already held a brown bag session last June 11, 2022 discussing the research process and introducing the top four charity ideas we found last year. Now, we share deep reports on those ideas that detail the evidence supporting their effectiveness and how one might implement the charities in the Philippines. We also share the shallow reports made for the other top mental health interventions.

Depending on the severity of mental health disorders, the workbook can be accompanied by weekly guidance by lay counselors through telephone, email, social media, or other available platforms.School-based PsychoeducationThis preventive approach entails training and supervising teachers to deliver psychoeducation on mental health topics in their respective schools. Through weekly participatory learning sessions, students would learn to apply positive coping strategies, build interpersonal skills, and/or develop personal characteristics that would empower them to care for their mental health and navigate important life transitions. Guided Self-Help Game-based App for Adolescents The intervention is a self-help game-based mobile application for help-seeking adolescents aged 12 - 19 years old. As a self-help format, the app aims to teach service users concepts and skills that will aid them in addressing MH concerns. The content of the app will be based on evidence-based therapeutic modalities. The game-based format is used to enhance service user engagement and prevent dropout. Youth-led Mental Health SupportThis intervention is a community-based intervention for adolescents aged 13-18. It uses task-sharing principles in delivering basic para-mental health support by training community members like SK officials and student leaders in basic mental health skills such as psychoeducation, peer counseling, and psychological first aid. The content of the training would be based on other community-based interventions like Thinking Healthy Programme, PM+, and Self Help+. $2.67 per WHO-5 improvement $85.93 per GSES improvement $69.47 per SWEMWBS impro...

Dr. T and The Truth Fairy welcome special guests Night Owl and Aqua Belle, friends and therapeutic colleagues of The Truth Fairy, to the show to talk about how they approach the vetting of clients. Dr. T takes the hosting lead in this conversation on the process of choosing which clients to work with. Aqua Belle and Night Owl both share how important instinct is to the vetting process. Despite having a drive and desire to just help people, not every client will be right. Meeting the client's needs may require a different therapist and both guests describe having an internal sense of whether or not they feel they will be able to collaborate and establish trust with the client. Listening to their instincts is an important part of the decision. The discussion Dr. T has with Truth Fairy, Aqua Belle, and Night Owl explores vetting clients based on existing medicine complications, a client's willingness to do the preparation and work, how comfortable the exchanges between the therapist and client are, how immediately the client pushes for psychedelics, and truly trusting therapeutic and personal instincts. Each guest shares revealing stories and the motivations behind their chosen modalities in this insightful conversation. “When I first started working with psychedelics, as you know, there are a lot of people that would like to have the experience. And at first, and of course wanting to help and serve because it was so amazing for me, and wanting to continue to offer that, what I did feel was I've come to understand who I would be best for and who would be best for me. And I do find, because it's such a relational thing, I feel that that's really important.” -  Aqua BelleResources discussed in this episode:Shamanic healing“Nurturing Resilience: Helping Clients Move Forward from Developmental Trauma” by Kathy L.

How Therapists Can Manage a Sedentary Job: An interview with Celina Caovan, DPT Curt and Katie interview Celina Caovan about physical self-care for therapists. We talk about how to mitigate the impacts of a sedentary job as well as the benefits of physical therapy and consistent physical activity. We also look into what physical therapy is, how clients can advocate for it, and how therapists might collaborate to support the physical and mental health of their patients. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! An Interview with Celina Caovan, DPT Celina Caovan received both her undergraduate degree and Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Southern California. She has been practicing in an outpatient orthopedic setting in the South Bay in California for the last two years and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. In this podcast episode, we talk about how therapists can take care of their bodies while working in a sedentary job Many therapist friends of ours have described low back pain and challenges in maintaining physical health when much of the work we do is while sitting. What should therapists know about physical activity and physical therapy? “Physical therapists are trained movement experts… we can diagnose, we can treat using hands on skills, patient education, and then we prescribe individual exercise for a bunch of different injuries, the ultimate goal being to improve the way someone moves and emphasize injury prevention. And the cool thing about physical therapy: it can be an alternative to pain medication, in a society where they prescribe a lot of a lot of pain medication, and then surgery as well.” – Celina Caovan, DPT There are a number of subspecialties in physical therapy to support all different elements of improving movement The importance of moving outside of a sedentary job US Department of Health guidelines on activity levels What can therapists do to take care of themselves during the work week? Getting out of the chair, some chair exercises Stretching and gentle movements during the breaks between sessions No drastic differences in activity from the work week to the weekend (i.e., avoid weekend warrior behavior, especially when extremely sedentary during the week_ Slowly increase activity and gradually increase cardio or resistance training Stretching (static and dynamic), warming up, and cooling down How can therapists think about physical therapy for their clients? “Someone's physical and mental health – that's interconnected… that mind body connection. And I think this would be a really great opportunity for us to create this interdisciplinary relationship where we can approach it from a physical and mental standpoint.” – Celina Caovan, DPT Referrals and direct access to physical therapy Psychoeducation and support for advocacy to obtain physical therapy Chiropractors versus physical therapists How physical and mental health therapists can collaborate to support patients   Our Generous Sponsor for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: Thrizer Thrizer is a new modern billing platform for therapists that was built on the belief that therapy should be accessible AND clinicians should earn what they are worth.

A nam wszystkim właśnie po to, aby ogarniać swoje zdrowie. Zdrowie, w myśl definicji WHO, to nie tylko brak choroby, ale i zdolność jednostki do rozwijania potencjału, a składa się na nie zarówno część fizyczna, jak i psychiczna. Czy psychoterapia jest najważniejszym elementem życia ludzkiego? Nie. Co więcej, mam szczerą nadzieję, że jak najwięcej osób nie będzie miało potrzeby z niej skorzystać, ale aby tak było, konieczna jest profilaktyka, a psychoedukacja również taką formę pełni.Zatem zapraszam Państwa na premierowy, solowy odcinek, w którym gadam o cieniach i blaskach psychoedukacji.

Here we are--in continuation of our "CPR" Series and we still have a lot to learn! In this episode, Molly and Dr. Basey discuss more brain basics as they talk about the small part of your brain called the "reticular activating system" or "The RAS".

Since we know that it takes 21 days to change a thought pattern, Dr. Basey talks about how to starve the old thought pathways and replace or "feed" the new thoughts through intentional choices.

Probably the most common complaint that I get about meditation is, “I Just Can't Meditate.” It's true that some people have great success with meditation right off the bat, but in my experience, this is really rare. Especially when we are talking about keeping it up!Most people get wrapped up in thoughts and emotions and the next thing they know they are checking their email, unwrapping a piece of chocolate or have found some other distraction or dopamine rush to follow. In a time of over-consumption and constant distraction with our phones and tablets and games and streaming and email and ugh, all of it, how can we make it to our cushions? Remember, while we allow our phones alone to constantly keep us actually rehearsing, practicing and getting better at inattention and distraction, meditation is actually the cure for both!Psychoeducation regarding what is exactly going on in your brain is the way out and over to your cushion time and time again. Knowing exactly “who” is talking to you, how and when to listen and what exactly to do is the key in making meditation a habit that lasts.This is week 6 of my 12-week series ~ Making Meditation Habitual: how to build a daily practice that lasts a lifetime!

Another great podcast with hosts Molly and Karly hearing Allie's story of her walk-out from racing and whirling thoughts which plagued her everyday life. Being defined as "your mind uncontrollably bringing up overwhelming thoughts" which brought confusion, paralysis of her mind, and ultimately leading to isolation, Allie realized that she needed help.  Dr. Basey then gives an explanation on how this type of anxiety affects your thought patterns and gives practical steps--through the CPR of Connection, Psychoeducation, and Routine--to change how you think.
