In this episode, Tracy and Alex discuss their personal experiences with parental guilt, anxiety, and the importance of therapy when seeing anxiety in teenagers. They explore the emotional journey of receiving a dyslexia diagnosis, the differing reactions between parent and child, and the complexities of parental guilt. They share their thoughts on helping teens with anxiety by finding the right child psychologist (or therapist) and the value of self-acceptance in the face of challenges.
Addressing the mental health aspect of being dyslexic is important.
