The Wonder of the Teenage Brain with adolescent psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas

The teenage brain goes through incredible changes during adolescence. This not only explains their behaviour but, knowing what these changes are means you can help support them or - if you are the teenager - might help you understand yourself better. Rachel and I chat about what those neurological changes are and how they manifest. I also spoke to some teenagers who give invaluable insights into how to get the best out of them, what they find challenging about adult behaviour and why they always like to start up difficult conversations when you're already busy doing something else.Make a one off donation: https://supporter.acast.com/conversations-with-annalisa-barbieriWant this podcast ad free?
