Hi Parents!

Anxiety in teens isn’t just a “thinking problem” - it’s a body-based experience that affects how they feel, react, and cope. In this episode, Dr. Russell Kennedy, The Anxiety MD, shares a new perspective on understanding and supporting anxious teens.

Dr. Kennedy explains why traditional logic, reassurance, or problem-solving often doesn’t work for teens with anxiety, and what helps a dysregulated nervous system feel safe. He introduces the concept of “alarm” in the body, helping parents recognize when their teen is anxious versus simply emotional or oppositional.

This episode provides compassionate, practical steps parents can take today to help their teens rebuild internal safety, navigate panic and meltdowns, and manage anxiety in a way that actually works. It’s a must-listen for parents who want to understand the real root of anxiety and empower their teens to thrive.

P.S. His book is a must-read - I already have it in my cart and can’t wait to dive in!

Big hugs,

Monica Crnogorac
