Dr. Jennifer Hartstein joins Something For Everybody this week. Dr. Jen is currently in private practice in New York City, specializing in the treatment of high-risk children and adolescents. She is the owner and founder of Hartstein Psychological Services, PLLC, a group psychotherapy practice. Dr. Jen is the mental health contributor for Yahoo! Lifestyle and Yahoo! News. She is also a frequent psychological contributor for NBC’s The Today Show, a national morning news program. In this conversation, Dr. Jen and I explore the complexities of parenting, adolescence, and mental health. We discuss the impact of overprotective parenting on children's resilience, the importance of listening to teens, and the role of media in shaping young men's perspectives. The conversation emphasizes the need for supportive environments and daily mental health check-ins to foster well-being. - Timestamps: 00:00 Navigating Life's Challenges 02:50 Self-Care Strategies for Burnout 09:02 The Importance of Movement and Social Connection 12:08 Understanding Mental Health Misconceptions 20:55 Resilience in Today's Youth 24:06 The Role of Parents in Adolescent Mental Health 33:49 The Impact of Overprotective Parenting 39:20 Listening to Teens 43:32 Navigating the Challenges of Adolescence 47:44 The Role of Media in Shaping Young Men's Perspectives 51:14 The Need for Supportive Conversations in Schools 56:19 Understanding the Male Sedation Hypothesis 01:04:04 Daily Mental Health Check-Ins: A Habit fo - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF 👉 https://shopforeverybody.com/ - AMARE GLOBAL: The Mental Wellness Company – On a mission to create a holistic mental wellness platform of products, programs, and people. - Go to https://www.amare.com/155249/en-us/ for $10 off your next order.
