Separation Anxiety, Self-Harm, and Starting Therapy | Responding to Your Comments Ep. 1

This video starts a NEW series where yours truly will be responding to YOUR comments. There are so many great questions that get lost in the comments section and if you're asking, I know others may be wondering, too.

Thank you for being brave and posting your questions and responses so we can help others get these answers, too.

Here are a few of the topics we cover in this first episode:

1) Using transitional objects to help you cope with separation anxiety (at any age)

2) Dodging questions about self-harm vs getting help from safe, supportive adults

3) Celebrating everyone who's starting therapy this year!!

... and more!!

Definitely watch until the end for a very real, human fiasco that happened while I was filming 👀

Episode 2 of Responding to Your Comments will be coming out next week. If you like this series, let me know in these comments (how very meta of you- hehe) I can't wait to do this with you again next week!!
