Postcards from Midlife

How do we help our young people deal with their emotional pain without always searching for a diagnosis?

Professor Tanya Byron explains how we can listen better, stay open to different perspectives and be willing to have conversations and keep learning, even when we don’t always get the language right. We need to remember that we created the world they’ve grown up in, so if they aren’t as emotionally resilient as we think we used to be at their age, we need to ask ourselves why, rather than leaving this generation feeling misunderstood and unable to deal with anxiety distress and loneliness.
