Self-harm can be difficult to understand until you hear it clearly and carefully explained with the most beautiful compassion by today’s guest Dr Madeline Wishart. Madeline talks us through what non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) means, when it happens, why it happens, the function of NSSI as a behaviour, signs to look for to identify if someone you care about might be self-injuring, what to do and what not to do as a parent or carer, powerful strategies to support anyone who is self-injuring, a brilliant rebuttle to the idea that self-harm is ‘attention seeking’, where to get help and so much more.Dr Madeline Wishart is a Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and young people who experience difficulty in regulating their emotionally and tolerating distress. She has a PhD, along with a Masters in both Professional and Clinical Psychology. Madeline currently divides her time between her private practice – Wishart Psychology; and working in a consultative capacity with schools and organizations providing professional development, therapeutic support and policy development around NSSI, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and coping skills more broadly.https://www.madelinewishart.com/https://www.instagram.com/drmadelinewishart/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-madeline-wishart-80774a151/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Everyone worries at some time or another but that’s little consolation when worry feels like it’s completely taking over. I’ve been there, I know how sickening it can feel when worry is part of the fabric of every single day; I also know what helps. In this week’s episode I’m sharing the ABC technique for managing worry. It’s a powerful and practical technique that can be applied to the occasional worry and, of course, to worry that so often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Can you trust that you’ve done enough even when there’s more to do? If your answer to that question is no, my hope is that listening to this week’s guest will help you answer differently.We’re conditioned to be productive, to achieve more, to do more to tick more things off our list. There’s always more to do, there always will be. But what sort of a life are we living if we never stop to reflect, to recharge, to unwind, to rest? So many, including this week’s guest, know all too well that if we don’t do it for ourselves, eventually, we’re forced to stop through burnout, sheer exhaustion, or illness.Olivia Raheem shows us how slowing down, stillness, and intentionally taking care of ourselves gives us the space to breathe and recognise that we are enough, despite what we do; and that we can gain freedom from the ‘always on’ culture that tells us otherwise.Here are links to share:www.octaviaraheem.comwww.pauserestbe.comRest resources: https://www.octaviaraheem.com/rest-resourcesThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Meg Webb’s Generalised Anxiety Disorder started young and originally presented as constant worrying. It was incredibly difficult, but not a symptom others would notice. The anxiety she was struggling with eventually became more conspicuous during a high school presentation when her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Later, in her first job, she experienced daily dread that she’d be asked to do something that would mean her colleagues would notice her shaking. She wouldn’t eat or drink in social situations and eventually found them all too difficult. Eventually, Meg self-medicated with alcohol, which only made her anxiety worse. In her 40s, she became curious about sobriety and embarked on a journey that not only freed her from alcohol but also reduced her overall anxiety. This newfound freedom led Meg to discover her purpose as an Alcohol Recovery Coach.Meg works with women in their midlife who are wanting to find a freedom from alcohol, and uses tools for this and for reducing anxiety in their life, and also for finding their joy and passion.She is a certified This Naked Mind coach, a nutrition coach and a teacher’s aide for children with autism. She also previously worked as a photographer but now enjoys photography as a hobby. She is Mum to three beautiful children and lives on Sydney’s Northern beaches.https://glassfulfilled.com.auShe’s Sober SydneyInstagram@glassfulfilled@shessobersydneyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Events and situations that would have previously caused grief felt like ‘water off a duck’s back’; sparking an epiphany. Paul Taylor realised that psychological and emotional stress stimulated adaptive, protective responses in the same way exercise, physical stress, does. In this conversation Paul explains the good, the bad and the ugly of stress, how our perception of stress changes its affects on us for better or for worse, what’s happening in an anxious brain, how we can all build physical and psychological resilience and so much more.A former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul Taylor is a Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist who is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group & The University of Tasmania.MindBodyBrain Project Podcastwww.mindbodybrain.com.au@mindbodybrainpiDeath By Comfort bookwww.paultaylor.bizThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

When Yael Schonbrun headed back to work after having her first child she thought to herself ‘I’ve got this in the bag’. The reality couldn’t have been any more different from the expectation, perhaps you can relate! Yael leveraged her experience as a parent, and an academic to firstly dive into the research, then begin to call out the myth of the work-life balance that was at the heart of so many available resources. She wrote ‘Work, Parent, Thrive’ filled with insights and practical strategies to help us all reframe our approach to working and parenting with more optimism, less guilt, strategies to manage what’s hard and a new lens to consider how what we’ve often considered as ‘competing roles’ actually compliment and enrich each other.Yael Schonbrun is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Brown University, co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast, author of Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like too Much), and parent of three.yaelschonbrun.comworkparentthrive.comLlink to Yael's newsletter https://thegrowtheq.ck.page/yaelThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

One of my most memorable interactions with a stranger involved two random acts of kindness. That experience still gives me goosebumps when I think about it and will always stay with me. Little did I know at the time, that showing kindness reduces anxiety. The research around kindness is unequivocal; the giver, the receiver and even people lucky enough to witness an act of kindness all benefit from a flood of feel good hormones that are released. Kindness reduces stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness and boosts our health and wellbeing in powerful ways. Gestures don’t have to be grand, and don’t have to cost a thing. In this episode, I explain the power of kindness for us, and everyone around us. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

It’s so hard being a teenager. Pressures and expectations from friends, peers, parents, and those that they put on themselves can weigh heavily. Add in academic pressures, bullying, body image issues, changing bodies, romantic relationships, the ‘always on’ nature of the digital age plus the impacts of the pandemic and it’s no surprise we’re seeing overwhelming rates of stress and anxiety among teens the world over. In today’s episode, the incredible Professor James (Jim) Mazza shares practical distress tolerance skills for teens, when and how to teach them, and how we can all equip the teens in our lives to cope with the huge ups and downs of life with healthy strategies that work.James J. Mazza is a professor in the School Psychology Program at the University of Washington and has been working for over 30 years with high-risk adolescents who engage in self-harming behaviors and specifically suicidal behavior. He was the past president of the American Association of Suicidology from 2005-2007 and is still actively involved in trying to help school psychologists play a major role in helping to prevent suicidal and self-harming behavior among students. His current research focus is centered around the implementation of a universal emotion regulation SEL curriculum called DBT STEPS-A. This unique curriculum is based on the DBT skills that have been used effectively with highly suicidal adults and adolescents.mazza@uw.eduhttps://www.dbtinschools.com/Purchase: DBT Skills in Schools Book@dbtinschools@JimMazza,PhDThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Tapping. Have you heard of it? Have you tried it for anxiety, chronic pain, or something else? I was a total tapping skeptic to begin with, and had been for years before a listener reached out an asked me to record an episode on tapping for anxiety. My research revealed a mountain of evidence, including systematic reviews and meta analyses, data that lead me to the wonderful work of Dr Peta Stapleton who joined me for this episode. Combining elements of exposure, cognitive restructuring and acupoint stimulation, tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), are effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression and PTSD and more. A technique I highly recommend adding to your anxiety toolkit.Dr Peta Stapleton WebsiteDr Peta on Facebook Dr Peta on LinkedIn Dr Peta on Instagram EFT TrainingTapping for Veterans WorldwideThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
