Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why Your Child’s Anxiety Might Be Coming From You | Sissy Goff, MEd, LPC-MHSP & David Thomas, LMSW · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

Talk about the story of the mom you had a conversation with recently.

Technology in general.

We think on the benefits of technology, like we have access to more information than any other time in history.

And that can be both a great thing and I think a really harmful thing in the arena of parenting because parents are inundated with ideas and information and opinions and all the different ways of approaching their kids to where I think it invites them not to trust their intuition and to assume the answer of what my kids are needing is not here, but it's out there somewhere.

And I just need to be searching and finding that.

The stats around anxiety are through the roof for kids and adolescents, as we all know.

And with girls in particular, Sissy has written some incredible content around anxiety in girls and adolescent women.

And she has this working definition that anxiety is an overestimation of the situation and an underestimation of myself.

definition, even beyond anxiety, feels like it's defining kids and adolescents in the world in this day and time.

It's like everything out there feels too big and scary.

Getting my driver's license feels too overwhelming.

Being with other kids feels awkward, cringy.

I won't know what to say.

More social anxiety than we have ever seen.

And so if all the things in the world feel too big and I feel too small, you can see where that would just continue to get in the way.

We have a whole chapter around the differences in parenting in this day and time.

And we talk about swings and extremes.

And I think a lot of parents grew up in homes where they didn't feel heard.

They didn't feel seen.

They didn't feel like their parents really noticed and observed when they were struggling.
