How can you help children improve their emotional and mental health -  without ever meeting them?

In this introduction, Anne Hilde Vassbø Hagen, emotion-focused psychologist and mother of three, presents Emotion-Focused Skills Training for Parents (EFST), a model developed by Dr. Joanne Dolhanty and grounded in the work of Dr. Leslie Greenberg.

📺 The entire series (with real patients) now available on Psyflix.


The Parenting Approach That Changes Kids’ Mental Health

When families struggle, it’s rarely about a single “problem” child. More often, it’s about patterns - repeated ways of interacting that leave children feeling unseen and parents feeling powerless.

Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) goes beyond managing behavior. It strengthens the deep attachment bonds between parents and children, creating a secure base where everyone can grow and thrive.

Watch the full series with real families on Psyflix — and see EFFT in action, session by session, as parents and children rebuild their relationships in front of your eyes.

Amanda Mushro, parenting expert and TLC Life Hacks host, shares trusted baby safety tips and tools to help parents create nurturing, secure environments.

 Dr. Dareen Siri and Jackie, an ISM patient, shed light on Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis—a rare disease—and discuss how knowledge, community, and treatment options like AYVAKIT® can transform patient lives.

Jakob Shaw of PETA reminds us that small, mindful choices—like securing recyclables, planting natives, and using humane deterrents—can protect wildlife and foster harmony in our neighborhoods.

Together, these conversations highlight how awareness, compassion, and advocacy empower families, patients, and communities alike.

The Reason Interview goes deep with the artists, entrepreneurs, politicians, and visionaries who are making the 21st century more libertarian—or at least more interesting—by challenging old, worn-out ideas and orthodoxies.

Today's guest is Lenore Skenazy, a journalist and activist dubbed "the world's worst mom" for letting her nine-year-old son ride the New York subway alone back in 2008. Since then, she's become a regular contributor to Reason and the co-founder, with psychologists Peter Gray and Jonathan Haidt, of Let Grow, which pushes for laws and school programs [ok? - a nonprofit can't "change laws"] to restore independence to kids.

She talks with Nick Gillespie about why kids today are more anxious and less free than they used to be, how fear and over-parenting took over American childhood, and why the free-range parenting movement is finally on the rise.

It's a liar's paradise
Wittering Lodge, Stann Creek, Belize

In the dead of night, lying in her father’s jungle lodge, Laelia watches her partner Aid sleeping – her mind racing with everything that’s brought her to this moment.

The heady Caribbean holiday when they first met.

The rum-fueled passion that, day by day, creeps into something darker.

The secrets she discovered in a hidden nook of the lodge, revealing a devastating past.

Above all, she thinks about the impossible decision she must make before dawn.

Does she stay silent and protect their newfound paradise? Or does she confront the lies which run as deep and dark as the lagoon – surfacing a dangerous truth from which there’s no return…

A transporting book club novel with the pulse of a thriller, The Night Lagoon is about the secrets and lies that simmer just beneath the surface of paradise.

He addresses toxic masculinity, the rise of right-wing politics among youth, and how shifting gender roles and societal expectations reshape masculinity. Declining graduation rates and rising suicide rates highlight urgent concerns. Verney examines influences from biology, culture, and the loss of traditional male roles in teaching and leadership.
