330: Teenage Depression

Описание: Teenage Depression



Is your teenager pulling away, struggling with depression, or feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety? Welcome to The Impactful Parent, hosted by Kristina Campos. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the heart of the youth mental health crisis to find real, actionable solutions for families in distress. We aren’t just talking about the "why"—we are exploring the "how" of getting your child back.



Kristina is joined by Dr. Will Dobud, co-author of the groundbreaking new book, Kids These Days. Together, they challenge the traditional "talk therapy" model and discuss why our modern, ultra-protective parenting style might accidentally be creating a "safety trap" that hinders teen resilience.



In this video, you will discover:



The Connection Gap: Why connection, not correction, is the first step toward healing [05:04].



The Safety Trap: How being the most protective generation in history has impacted our kids' ability to handle risk [05:22].



Adventure-Based Therapy: Why moving the body in nature can be more effective than sitting on a therapist's couch [23:45].



Smartphones & Social Media: A refreshing and controversial take on whether the phone is the cause or just a symptom of a deeper need for connection [37:09].



 



The "Problem-Free" Habit: A simple, 30-minute strategy you can start today to break the ice with a struggling teen [52:09].



Dr. Dobud shares his extensive experience in outdoor therapy, explaining how simple acts—like sitting around a campfire or even standing on one leg while brushing your teeth—can reorient a teen's brain toward mastery and hope [36:40].



If you feel helpless watching your teen spiral, this conversation is the "fire" you need to light a new path forward. It’s time to move from chaos to connection and help your adolescent build the autonomy they need to thrive in a confusing world. Join the Impactful Parent community:
