Join us as Dr. Lisa Damour, psychologist and New York Times best-selling author of Untangled and Under Pressure, provides insights from her newly released book into teenagers’ emotional highs and lows and inspires us to listen and connect through more open and honest conversations.
In teenagers, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today’s teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it’s easy for them—and their parents—to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, Dr. Damour gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.
