What You're Doing Wrong With Separation Anxiety (And Why It's Not Your Fault!)

This week's podcast episode is for any school counselor that's been at their wit's end with a  crying, screaming, perhaps running, student at the start of almost EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It's for school counselors who've tried all the advice they've seen elsewhere but are still shaking their head, wondering why they can't get a certain student to class without a fight. It's for the school counselor who braces themself when a particular student is dropped off at school, who tries desperately to manage the fallout of an anxious, angry student and not feel like a total failure when all eyes in the hallway are on THEM.

Been there?

If you've battled separation anxiety-type behaviors in students before or are smack-dab in the middle of it now, you need to listen to this episode. I'll talk about why separation anxiety isn't always what it seems, how popular advice is keeping you stuck in a cycle of chaos, and some alternative interventions you can work with instead to facilitate student success.

Our goal at School for School Counselors is to help school counselors stay on fire, make huge impacts for students, and catalyze change for our roles through grassroots advocacy and collaboration. Listen to get to know more about us and our mission, feel empowered and inspired, and set yourself up for success in the wonderful world of school counseling.
