Episode 247: Health Anxiety During a Pandemic & Suicidality in Children

Hello, friends! Got another Q&A episode for you. The 2nd question in here could be potentially triggering to some, so please be aware of that. It doesn't go into anything explicit, but the topic is something that some may be sensitive to. Here's what we cover: How can I use exposure to treat health anxiety during this pandemic? My friend's 6-year-old child has suicidal thoughts. How can I best support them?
