New Still Becoming Conversation:
Sissy Goff: Anxiety and Bravery (and the Pandemic)
Episode 64
I am so excited to have counselor, speaker, and author @sissygoff back on the Still Becoming podcast! We discuss anxiety in kids, teens, and adults, as well as anxiety and the pandemic. Naming the anxiety, and understanding it, are very powerful in helping us cope and feel better. We talk about some of the special attributes people who struggle with anxiety may also have (one of my favorite parts). Sissy and I specifically discuss her new book: Brave: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Beating Worry and Anxiety. Sissy is so warm and inviting, and makes this topic not only accessible but hopeful.
Sissy Goff, MEd, LPC-MHSP, spends most of her days counseling girls and their families alongside her assistant/pet therapist, Lucy the Havanese. Sissy serves as the director of child and adolescent counseling for Daystar Counseling Ministries(Nashville, TN) where she has worked with girls and their families for more than 25 years.
Sissy Goff is the author of eleven books including the best-selling books Raising Worry-Free Girls: Helping Your Daughter Feel Braver, Stronger, and Smarter in an Anxious World (for parents) and Braver, Stronger, Smarter: A Girl’s Guide to Overcoming Worry and Anxiety (for girls ages 8-11). In addition, she wrote a follow-up workbook for teen girls entitled Brave: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Beating Worry and Anxiety (February 2021).
