It was lovely to have our friend Cheryl Donaldson MA, LMFT, LCPC visit Lions Campus today.
As a clinician with over 25 years of experience, Cheryl has worked across the full spectrum of care from inpatient settings and schools to private practice. Her work focuses on equipping parents and teenagers with the tools to navigate today’s unique pressures.
She gifted me a copy of her new book, Lead from the Soul (Available at Waterstones), which reflects her focus on solutions and positive outcomes. Rather than leaning on dense theory, she offers a framework for leading your life and family with self-awareness and grounded courage. It’s the result of decades spent helping individuals find peace of mind in high-pressure environments.
Always a pleasure to catch up with a true veteran in the field. Thanks for the copy, Cheryl!

What is behind OCD? Dr Hamilton McBrien explains.

Did you know it is often a terrifying fear that leads to the repetitive behaviours of OCD.

These behaviours, while they might look irrational from the outside, make complete sense from the person's perspective as they are being done to ensure their worst fear does not happen.

Anxiety in young people can have a profound impact on the entire family system. ❤️‍🩹

In a recent interview, Dr Hamilton McBrien describes working with a seven-year-old girl with severe separation anxiety. Her condition was not only disabling and distressing for her personally, but created significant challenges for her parents and rippled throughout the family as a whole.

When we support young people with anxiety, we're not just helping the young person—we're helping everyone who loves them. Understanding that mental health challenges affect the whole family reminds us why reaching out early and working together makes all the difference.

“If I let them avoid it, am I helping… or making it worse?”

When does anxiety actually start in children?
👉🏼 Earlier than most parents realise.

Separation anxiety can begin in the first years of life. While some distress at nursery or with carers is developmentally normal, persistent anxiety is different—and it matters.

Without early intervention, childhood separation anxiety often transforms into broader issues: school avoidance, social difficulties, and fear of independence in adolescence. Recognising the signs early allows us to intervene effectively. 💙

"It's just a phase..." But is it?
Child psychiatrist Dr Hamilton McBrien challenges one of the most dangerous myths about childhood anxiety.
When we dismiss anxiety as something children will simply "grow out of," we miss critical opportunities to help them—and may be allowing unnecessary suffering to shape how they see the world.

Your child encountered explicit content online. Now what? Dr. Jon Goldin explains curiosity is natural, confusion is normal, and your calm presence matters more than having all the answers. Lead with kindness, validate their feelings, and keep the conversation open and ongoing. It's not about perfection, it's about being available.
