When Worry Works: How to Harness Your Parenting Stress and Guide Your Teen to Success
Available now in hardback and e-book. When Worry Works help parents manage the stresses of adolescent achievement culture and to make decisions which align with their values, rather than their anxiety.
Dorfman responds to one of the primary sources of the nation’s worsening adolescent mental health crisis: achievement pressure. Burdened by the mounting pressures on today’s youth, parents seek ways to strike the balance between supporting their teens’ current well-being while also setting them up for future success. Eager to take action and to manage their escalating fears, parents inadvertently and unknowingly exacerbate the problem by overlooking their own parental achievement anxiety.
About
As a New York City-based psychotherapist, I guide high achieving adolescents and adults to express their authentic selves, improve their relationships, and pursue values-driven success.
Whether you’re a student exhausted by school pressures, an overwhelemd parent, or a professional drained by a 60-hour work week, I can help. I’m accessible virtually and in-person to patients.
