28 | Helping Teens with High-Functioning Anxiety: Expert Tips and Parent Strategies with Nancy Smith


Listen Later

Hi Parents!


This week I’m joined by Nancy Smith, an expert in high-functioning anxiety, to continue the conversation I recently started in a solo episode about how high-functioning anxiety differs from a Type A personality. While I introduced the topic in my solo episode, Nancy brings her deep expertise to provide an even clearer understanding of how parents can better support their teens who may appear to be thriving on the outside while struggling internally. Nancy shares her story; sheds light on the subtle signs of high-functioning anxiety and offers practical approaches for distinguishing it from general anxiety or Type A behaviours. We dive into strategies for building trust, fostering open conversations, and helping teens find balance and resilience.

More about Nancy:

Nancy Jane Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor, trainer, and author. She trained in Gestalt Therapy at the Gestalt Institute of Central Ohio and is a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, inspired by Dr. Brené Brown’s work on vulnerability and resilience. Nancy has authored three books, including The Happier Approach: Be Kind to Yourself, Feel Happier, and Still Accomplish Your Goals, which offers tools for reducing anxiety. She is currently working on a fiction book about the inner critic voices in our heads.

Tune in to discover tools that will help your teen manage their anxiety while embracing their unique strengths!

Big hugs,
