In this interview we talk about the importance of therapy for yourself and or your child, how to not beat yourself up as a parent if your child struggles or will struggle with mental health and some techniques; CBT and DVT *

CBT - Cognitive behavioral therapy: a psycho-social intervention[1][2] that aims to improve mental health.[3] CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and behaviors, improving emotional regulation,[2][4] and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.

DBT - Dialectical Behavioral therapy: an effort to treat borderline personality disorder (also known as Emotional Instability Disorder).[2] There is evidence that DBT can be useful in treating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm, and substance abuse.
