Plumbing the Depths of the Teenage Mind w/Denis Barron, MFT
Manage episode 357883140 series 3438377
In this episode, Stephen (who, by the way, used to be a high school teacher) strikes off on his own to discover what went wrong during his wayward teenage years. Well, not really. But he does track down San Francisco-based therapist Denis Barron, MFT to learn more about what makes young minds tick.
Barron has spent his career working with adolescents, and has some great insights on everything from the reasons teens do the crazy shit they do, to the apparent evolutionary benefits of ADHD. He also gives some great advice on what developmental milestones are most important for adolescent kids these days, along with ideas about what we can do to support teenagers in this weird, modern world.
Oh! And if you missed our appearance on The J.V. Club with Janet Varney, in which we share some of what we learned in this interview, you can check that out here. (And if you didn't hear our episode talking to Janet, why, scroll back through the feed a few episodes.)
