Being a "Parent Coach" for a Child with Anxiety & OCD with Dr. Whiteside, Episode #91
Description
Parenting can be overwhelming when your child is struggling with an anxiety disorder or OCD—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode we interview Dr. Stephen Whitewide about his new book "Anxiety Coach" and ways in which parents can partner with their child or teen who is struggling with anxiety (in particular, avoidance). Dr. Whiteside teaches parents what anxiety is and how to recognize when it becomes a problem, explains why children need to face their fears to overcome them, and introduces readers to exposure therapy and its practical application.
Stephen P. H. Whiteside, Ph.D. is a Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist, Professor of Psychology in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, and Director of the Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. His research focuses on improving access to evidence-based care for pediatric anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
