Child Medical Avoidance with Dr. Meghan Marsac
Pediatric psychologist and CEO of the Cellie Coping Company, Dr. Meghan Marsac, and Bryce Hamilton LSCSW meet to discuss childhood medical trauma and avoidance. They discuss reasons children may have medical aversion or trauma. How to tell if a child may be experiencing it, and even smaller signs that may sometimes be overlooked.
Dr. Marsac gives suggestions on how to recognize anxiety and deal with it head on. They give suggestions for how to cope ahead and prepare a child for doctor visits or medical procedures, discuss how much information and when to present it to the child, and how to address anxiety when it presents.
They also discuss how to gauge stress responses for both parents and children and make an action plan for how to respond and reduce stress for both parent and child.
