0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black. And I'm Laura Owens. There's been an alarming increase in the levels of stress and anxiety experienced by girls from elementary
0:22.5	school to college. Research indicates that the number of girls who say they often feel nervous,
0:28.3	worried or fearful jumped 55% from 2009 to 2014, while the anxiety levels for boys remained unchanged.
0:36.7	And joining us on this episode is clinical psychologist Lisa DeMore,
0:40.9	who's witnessed this in her own research, private practice,
0:44.1	and at the all-girls school where she consults.
0:47.0	Lisa writes about the problem and what we can do about it in her new book,

1:18.4	were very few conversations I had where one of those words didn't come up as a source of concern.
1:24.5	And that was an obvious shift from how things had been before. The other reason, sort of in
1:30.9	terms of the main reasons I wrote this book, is that the understanding that clinical psychologists
1:36.7	have about stress and anxiety, how we, you know, what we know about these, what we know about,
1:41.4	you know, how they work and how they operate, is clearly pretty
1:45.7	divorced from how everybody else was talking about it. The people I was caring for in my practice
1:52.0	when they talked about stress and anxiety, they always talked about it as if it was a bad thing.
