0:03.5	God it just to me I think no wonder people find therapists annoying.
0:14.6	Welcome to the art of charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger. Today we're talking with the Lin Lyon. She's
0:19.5	a therapist for the past three decades. Also author of anxious kids, anxious parents,
0:24.1	seven ways to stop the worry cycle and raise courageous and independent children. What? No, this is not
0:28.9	about kids. It's not just for parents. But lately it seems the whole country is overwhelmed by

1:32.9	it just one of those things like first world problems now that we're not starving to death? We noticed
1:36.8	that people have anxiety. Well, it could be that. I mean, I think that the sense right now is that
1:43.0	there is more anxiety. When we talk about anxiety, there's also worry and I like to differentiate
