Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson

Casey Ehrlich’s son Cooper stopped eating, walking, talking and when he wasn’t hidden inside himself, he would explode. His violent meltdowns were escalating leaving Casey and her husband scared of what he might do. Casey left her career, moved her family to a small town and became Cooper’s full-time carer, mother and researcher - eventually understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance or PDA to be at the heart of their incredible challenges. Over many years of heartbreak, depression and feeling like a failure as a parent Casey came to understand her son, his needs, and how she and others could communicate with him and support him to not only function, but thrive. She now supports other parents of PDA children and shares her journey and insights in this episode.Casey Ehrlich: At Peace ParentsKristy Forbes: inTune PathwaysSally Cat: PDA by PDAersIn Play We TrustLinda K Murphy: Declarative Language HandbookNeurodivergent RebelHarold S Kushner: When bad things happen to good peopleThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

I know how debilitating anxiety can feel, and how many people feel at a loss as to what can make a difference for their anxiety or that of someone they love. Knowing how incredibly difficult anxiety is to live with, you may be a little skeptical about today’s episode given the title but it is one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had when it comes to how we can harness anxiety, and exactly what we can all do to move on from it. Three time TED speaker and Dean of NYU’s College of Arts & Science****,**** Professor Wendy Suzuki is a joy to listen to. Author of ‘Anxiety Is Your Superpower’, she teaches us how we can turn anxiety fuelled ‘what if’ thinking on it’s head, and shares four tried and true, evidence-based, practical strategies for managing anxiety, and why each is so powerful.https://www.wendysuzuki.com/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Uncertainty is a fundamental driver of anxiety. We crave certainty, and yet, would you actually want to be certain about what's going to happen in every single aspect of your life? I wouldn't despite how anxiety provoking and awful living with uncertainty can be. In today's episode, Dr. Toni Lindsay, author of The Certainty Myth, reminds us that life isn't always easy, and it was never meant to be, but we can adjust; we can cope. She shares what she's learned about certainty and uncertainty, and what we can all do in the midst of overwhelming uncertainty, through her experience as a clinical psychologist supporting children, teenagers, and young adults through their cancer journey.Connect with Dr Toni Lindsay and her workhttp://www.tonilindsay.com.au/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYvEsHiBOYIThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Ikigai is often misunderstood- this beautiful Japanese word isn’t easily defined given the spectrum on which we can experience ikigai, and the different ways we can cultivate it. Ultimately, it’s a feeling. It’s different from happiness and is strongly tied to our future. It's tied to meaning and purpose, having a strong sense of self and, crucially, is tied to our values. In this episode Japanologist and Founder of Ikiga Tribe, Nick Kemp, shares the components of Ikigai, why it matters and how we can begin to cultivate it as we create fulfilling lives with moments of joy, and lifelong meaning and purpose.https://ikigaitribe.com/podcasts/https://ikigaitribe.com/ikigai/mieko-kamiya/https://ikigaikan.com/Connect with Nick Kemphttps://twitter.com/NicholasKemphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-kemp-author/Ikigai 9 QuestionairreValues In Action SurveyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This short and sweet episode is all about a game-changing strategy for anyone whose anxiety says "stop," "don't do it," "it feels too uncomfortable," or "let's put this off for later." This means that this episode is for all of us who live with anxiety!In this episode, I share a strategy called "Opposite Action." I explain what it is, why it's an essential tool in our toolkit, and a practical way to figure out exactly where to start. This strategy helps us put an end to procrastination and overwhelm that comes with waiting to not feel anxious, so we can get things done. It supports us to feel anxious and move forward anyway.Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

What can you do to help when your child won’t talk? They might be a chatterbox at home, perhaps even confident and loud! But in settings that provoke anxiety, they won’t say a word. This describes selective mutism. It can look different for different children, but every single family that has a child who is a selective mute shares one thing in common; the anguish that comes with not knowing how to help. That’s all about to change, thanks to today’s guest Dr Elizabeth Woodcock; Founder, Director and Principal Psychologist at the Selective Mutism Clinic in N.S.W, Australia. And yes, they work with children and families online too!In this episode Elizabeth explains selective mutism, describes what it looks like for different children, talks about the important role of parents, her 5-Stage Model and a detailed example of one of their most powerful strategies.Elizabeth says “it’s not over until the selective mute sings” showing you just how far children with selective mutism can progress with the right help.Learn more:https://selectivemutism.com.au/https://selectivemutism.com.au/member/dr-elizabeth-woodcock/https://selectivemutism.com.au/seminars/InstagramFacebookBook: Helping your child with selective mutismHow you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Today’s guest, Psychologist and renowned media commentator Dr Michael-Carr Gregg hasn’t seen anything like the rates of anxiety in children and teens in decades of clinical practice. Despite the incredible challenge of anxiety for young people and their families, he assures parents that it is treatable; and that parents play an important role in the process. In this conversation Michael explains anxiety just as he would to a family in his clinic, and shares the steps that work to help anxious young people develop the understanding and tools that work to wind anxiety back. It takes time, but is absolutely possible. He also explains the most powerful predictor of childhood wellbeing and the four tasks critical to healthy child wellbeing and development: Friendship, connecting with school, taking healthy risks and establishing an island of competence, and beginning to separate from their family of origin.We talk about school refusal, reassurance, graduated exposure, social media, how anxiety is a logic free zone and much more.Michael Carr-GreggTwitterScratch a Happy Adult, Find a Socially Connected ChildhoodA 32-Year Longitudinal Study of Child and Adolescent Pathways to Well-Being in Adulthoodhttps://brave4you.psy.uq.edu.au/https://moodgym.com.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

When was the last time you experienced awe? And what’s it got to do with anxiety? Hmmm, it can be a tricky one because we typically think awe comes from big moments, like seeing the Eiffel Tower, visiting the Grand Canyon, visiting Uluru or swimming with Whale Sharks. While each of those experiences is bound to elicit awe, we can actually experience awe in everyday moments, inside our homes or workplaces and outside in nature.In this episode Jake Eagle, Psychotherapist and co-author of The Power of Awe explains the powerful role of awe in reducing anxiety quickly, where we can find awe in everyday moments and how to use the A.W.E. strategy to elicit the greatest benefit from these moments.The Power of Awe is available for sale on Amazon.To learn more, go to https://thepowerofawe.comInstagram - @thepowerofawebookFacebook - The Power of AWETwitter - @ThePowerofAWETikTok - thepowerofaweThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
