74: Reassuring our Kids May Not be the Full Answer by Ashley Miller, MD

Today, we continue the conversation with child psychiatrist specializing and dedicated to helping parents support their kids in a way that is informed by the latest developments in neuroscience.  Ashley Miller, MD has been heavily focused on Family Therapy over the past 15 years and is a frequent keynote speaker and co-author to their new book “What to Say When Nothing Seems to Work”, her down to earth and practical approach is paralleled with scientific backing. Living in Vancouver, BC since 2001, she hones her approach from her now 11 and 15yr old.

I can’t go any further in describing this incredible women without sharing that Ashley Miller, MD is actually my longest standing friend.  Growing up on the West Island of Montreal, in Canada, we went to primary school together, then high school and then even College together.  We even started volleyball together and have kept in contact throughout all these years.  We had a secret kid-pact that we would start a law firm named M&M and somehow, here we are, the interviewer and the interviewee getting to uplift one another in our gifts to help more people lead fulfilling lives!
