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 👀
With love and gratitude,
Mallory

// ABOUT
We know the rates of teens struggling with suicide and self-harm are rising and I want to reverse that trend! That’s why on this channel you’ll find I share a lot of self-care tips and coping strategies for major teen issues like anxiety, depression, alternatives to self-harm and how to talk to parents and other grown-ups about these challenges. My biggest hope is to increase mental health awareness and break the stigma of talking to a therapist so teens can get the help they deserve and need right here, right now.

Tysm for making this video, I can see that they are definitely rules from Denmark and USA and over there you know. But I think this video helps a lot and making me less nervous to try the therapy and I understand more off all these things and now I see some ideas how it could get better. I never thought I would do that with a video but I just wanted to say Tysm for responding to my comments and taking so much time for other people! ❤
