In this episode of The Mental Note Show, we delve into the intricacies of high 'D' personalities within the DISC model, especially in relation to parenting and coping with anxiety. The episode highlights the defining traits of high 'D' individuals, such as their assertiveness, ambition, decisiveness, and propensity for risk-taking, while also acknowledging the stress and anxiety that often accompany these characteristics. 

Deanna discusses the unique challenges faced when parenting a high 'D' child, including their need for control and autonomy, discomfort with unpredictability, and high personal standards. 

The episode also touches on the struggles of high 'D' parents themselves, who may feel out of control and frustrated when their usual problem-solving approaches don't readily apply to managing their child's anxiety. Key strategies for managing stress and anxiety are shared, emphasizing the importance of embracing flexibility, recognizing signs of stress, practicing self-care, and setting realistic goals.
