TPP 113: Psychologist Dr. Dawn Huebner on Helping Children Who Worry Too Much

Published: June 19, 2018, 6:04 a.m.

b'I\\u2019m very excited to be talking with psychologist, parent coach, and prolific author Dawn Huebner. One of the coolest things about making this podcast is getting to continually connect with people whose work I\\u2019ve not only been following for years, but people whose work and books have literally impacted my family in a meaningful way. On top of that, I get to ask them everything I want to know. Hopefully I cover the same things that you would ask if you were sitting in my chair, too.\\xa0\\nToday is one of those conversations, as we\\u2019ve owned and have been using Dawn\\u2019s books like What to Do When Your Temper Flares and What To Do When You Grumble Too Much for many years. Today Dawn and I are talking about her new book on anxiety called Outsmarting Worry: And Older Kid\\u2019s Guide to Overcoming Anxiety. Dawn has a gift for creating practical, doable, interactive \\u201ctoolkits\\u201d to help feel empowered to take control of their emotional experience and make changes that can make the way they\\u2019re moving through life feel so much better. I hope you enjoy our conversation!\\xa0\\nDawn Huebner, PhD, is a Clinical Psychologist, Parent Coach and popular speaker, specializing in the many faces of childhood anxiety.
