The Child Psych Podcast

Every year, thousands of children are sent against their will – often ripped out of their beds in the middle of the night by strangers – to private facilities to be treated for various mental illnesses, addiction issues, and perceived behavioral problems. Due to inconsistencies in the definition of what a therapeutic program is and a lack of regulatory oversight, the exact number of these centers and children in them is not known but it is estimated that there is over 120,000+ children kept in over 5,000+ centers around the United States and abroad. This is collectively known as the “Troubled Teen Industry.”In this episode Tammy interviews Meg Appelgate about this Industry and her personal experiences as a teen with being placed in such an institution. Meg is an author and CEO of Unsilenced, a grassroots organization dedicated to speaking out against institutionalized child abuse in the troubled teen and youth mental health industry (https://www.unsilenced.org/)After being sexually assaulted and expelled from school for drinking at 15, For the next 17 years, Meg dedicated herself to non-profit work before eventually coming to the realization that she had been abused and brainwashed throughout her time in the troubled teen industry. She wrote about this account in her book "Becoming Unsilenced" which we discuss in this riveting episode.One of our Favourite Christmas GiftsAs the holiday season approaches, we wanted to share some of my favorite gift ideas that have made a big impact in our family—Big Life Journal products!

What is so fascinating about this culture is they have parents that rarely, if ever, yell at their children; and they parent in such a way that the children are extremely resilient, compassionate, and emotionally regulated. The Inuit moms helped Michaeleen Doucleff, author and global health correspondent, completely rethink her discipline with her daughter, and in this podcast episode you will be gifted some of the biggest takeaways these Inuit mommas bestowed on Michaeleen during time with them. Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, is the author of the New York Times Best Seller Hunt, Gather, Parent.

With most of our lives feeling chaotic and our minds constantly in a frenzy, staying connected with our children or ourselves can be difficult. When anxiety and stress hijack parents, they may be reactive with their children, which sets the stage for dysregulation in kiddos. What’s exciting is that in today’s episode, we will discuss how mindfulness can reduce our reactivity to our children and simply make us better, more grounded parents. Diana unearths some of the science that demonstrates how effective this tool is for both our physical and emotional health and dives into some simple mindfulness tools to get parents started that are simple and manageable. Diana Winston is the Director of UCLA Mindful, the Mindfulness Centre at UCLA Health. The LA Times calls her “one of the nation’s best-known teachers of mindfulness.” A former Buddhist nun, mother of a preteen, and Los Angeles resident, she is an author and teacher, she has taught mindfulness for health and well-being since 1983 in the medical and mental health fields and universities, businesses, nonprofits, and schools.

Today's episode is with Dr Jo-Ann Finkelstein, author of the hot new release "Sexism and Sensibility. Dr. Finkelstein's work focuses on understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them.The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it’s waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls’ strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls’ skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge: How do we teach girls to recognize and cope with these realities without crushing their optimism and belief that they can incite change?Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who was educated at Harvard University and Northwestern University and now maintains a private clinical practice.
