Understanding the Emotional Lives of Teenagers, Interview with Lisa Damour

Hi friend, So glad that you are joining me today.

I am thrilled to share this conversation with you. Understanding our tween's and teen's rollercoaster of emotions and how to cope and support them isn't easy.

My special guest today is Dr. Lisa Damour. Dr. Damour is a clinical psychologist and author of three New York Times bestsellers, Untangled, Under Pressure, and her latest book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers.  She is also the co-host of the Ask Lisa podcast and is recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association. She earned degrees from both Yale and the University of Michigan and has more than 30 years of experience working with teens and families.

Her latest book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, is a life-changing book that we talk about today.

A few of the things Lisa shares with us: 

• What does emotional health mean for our teens?
