Summary:

This week we talk to Dr. Jessica Cooperman, a psychologist at Markham Stouffville Hospital (Ontario, Canada). Together with a team of skilled clinicians and educators, Dr. Cooperman founded ATLAS: Adolescent Teaching and Learning Alternative Services. ATLAS works with kids and teens suffering with depression and anxiety and offers teens support and a safe space to cope with their stress. 

ATLAS is a hospital program addressing the unique needs of teenagers struggling with anxiety and/or depression so severe that it is impairing their school attendance and functioning. The goal of the program is to provide students with the tools for a successful school re-entry and the resumption of a healthier, more fulfilling life where anxiety and sad mood no longer control behaviour.

Find out more about the ATLAS program here: http://www.msh.on.ca/node/1166

Summary:

This week I discuss something that I like to call the Anxiety Afterglow. The moment when you've just leaned into your fear and achieved something significant, just overcome some adversity.  In that moment of brief euphoria we must bookmark that and capture it.  This allows us to build confidence and belief in ourselves.
