Americans are anxious—and a flurry of companies and opportunistic entrepreneurs aim to fill the demand for relief. A must-read by Julie Wernau (Wall Street Journal reporter) Andrea Petersen wsj.com/health/wellnes… via The Wall Street Journal

Early in my training as a psychologist I learned that being a clinician isn't about telling people what to do. It's about helping people discover new choices for how to move forward.

I wish I could take Vanessa Kroll Bennett & Cara Natterson on my "Middle School Superpowers" book tour! I often reference their book, "This Is So Awkward, Modern Puberty Explained," but last night we got to present together at Sidwell, & it was MUCH more fun to just hand them the mic!
