Tired of Anxiety - A Kid's Guide with Dr Sarah Cassidy

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 25 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 

P-Soupers - this is it - the last part of my chat with Dr Sarah Cassidy - educational, child and adolescent psychologist. And now that we've set the scene - we dive into her book, co-written with Dr Lisa Coyne - called - Tired of Anxiety - A kids guide to befriending difficult thoughts and feelings and living your life anyway.

So in this episode you'll hear about how the book came about, the collaboration with Dr Lisa Coyne, the other books in the series and how Sarah helps kids to reflect on their choices, notice the difficult stuff and move forward - building skills for their whole lives. You'll also hear about the art for the book, my review and how toxic positivity can occur in organisations and family units. We finish with a highly useful takeaway from Sarah too.

People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about sharing the ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond.

There is a transcript for each episode. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all! You can also find the shownotes by clicking on notes then keep scrolling for all the useful links.
