Last week we discussed intolerance of uncertainty for CYP and how this can cause anxiety. This week's blog post outlines some helpful strategies to increase this tolerance and reduce anxiety. https://lnkd.in/eAqcMAex #uncertainty #anxiety #mentalhealth #SEMH #educationalpsychology

Why do some children struggle with uncertainty more than others, and how might we as adults be inadvertently encouraging maladaptive coping strategies? #anxiety #Uncertainty #semh #mentalhealth #psychology #EducationalPsychology

This month we are focusing on anxiety. Something that comes up again and again in casework is anxiety in relation to UNCERTAINTY. Our brains interpret uncertainty as a threat. For some individuals, this tolerance of uncertainty is far lower than others and they may engage in maladaptive coping strategies. Keep your eyes peeled for a blog post on uncertainty soon... #uncertainty #anxiety #worry #psychology #SEMH
