Manage episode 450952026 series 3582888
Hi Parents!
In this episode, we’re diving into the differences between high-functioning anxiety and a Type A personality in teens. It’s easy to confuse the two since both can show up as high-achieving and driven, but high-functioning anxiety hides an inner struggle with constant fear and self-doubt. I’ll be breaking down how you can spot the signs of high-functioning anxiety and what makes it unique from a naturally Type A mindset.
Tune in to learn practical ways to help your teen navigate their anxiety and encourage self-compassion. We’ll also explore how addressing high-functioning anxiety early on can prevent deeper emotional challenges, like burnout or depression. By understanding this distinction, you can better support your teen in achieving success without anxiety as the driving force behind their accomplishments.
Whether you’re unsure if your teen’s drive is healthy or masking anxiety, this episode will help you recognize the signs and provide support where it’s needed.
Big hugs,
Monica Crnogorac
