EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In this episode, I speak with Canadian best selling author and clinical psychologist, Dr. Jody Carrington. We discuss her book, "Kids These Days", and what Jody claims is at the root of many of our mental problems, both adult and youth: dysregulation. Jody explains how dysregulation works and shares practical tips all of us can use to better regulate, especially those working with youth (parents, teachers, bus drivers, coaches, etc.). A significant theme that is sewn through Jody's book and this interview is the power of human connection. If this is something you think is important in your world, this is the podcast episode for you.
