Everyone worries at some time or another but that’s little consolation when worry feels like it’s completely taking over. I’ve been there, I know how sickening it can feel when worry is part of the fabric of every single day; I also know what helps. In this week’s episode I’m sharing the ABC technique for managing worry. It’s a powerful and practical technique that can be applied to the occasional worry and, of course, to worry that so often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Can you trust that you’ve done enough even when there’s more to do? If your answer to that question is no, my hope is that listening to this week’s guest will help you answer differently.We’re conditioned to be productive, to achieve more, to do more to tick more things off our list. There’s always more to do, there always will be. But what sort of a life are we living if we never stop to reflect, to recharge, to unwind, to rest? So many, including this week’s guest, know all too well that if we don’t do it for ourselves, eventually, we’re forced to stop through burnout, sheer exhaustion, or illness.Olivia Raheem shows us how slowing down, stillness, and intentionally taking care of ourselves gives us the space to breathe and recognise that we are enough, despite what we do; and that we can gain freedom from the ‘always on’ culture that tells us otherwise.Here are links to share:www.octaviaraheem.comwww.pauserestbe.comRest resources: https://www.octaviaraheem.com/rest-resourcesThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Meg Webb’s Generalised Anxiety Disorder started young and originally presented as constant worrying. It was incredibly difficult, but not a symptom others would notice. The anxiety she was struggling with eventually became more conspicuous during a high school presentation when her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Later, in her first job, she experienced daily dread that she’d be asked to do something that would mean her colleagues would notice her shaking. She wouldn’t eat or drink in social situations and eventually found them all too difficult. Eventually, Meg self-medicated with alcohol, which only made her anxiety worse. In her 40s, she became curious about sobriety and embarked on a journey that not only freed her from alcohol but also reduced her overall anxiety. This newfound freedom led Meg to discover her purpose as an Alcohol Recovery Coach.Meg works with women in their midlife who are wanting to find a freedom from alcohol, and uses tools for this and for reducing anxiety in their life, and also for finding their joy and passion.She is a certified This Naked Mind coach, a nutrition coach and a teacher’s aide for children with autism. She also previously worked as a photographer but now enjoys photography as a hobby. She is Mum to three beautiful children and lives on Sydney’s Northern beaches.https://glassfulfilled.com.auShe’s Sober SydneyInstagram@glassfulfilled@shessobersydneyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Over 10 days of freezing, starving and being ‘hunted’, during brutal resistance to interrogation training with the British Royal Navy, helped inoculate this week’s podcast guest against the stresses of daily life. Events and situations that would have previously caused grief felt like ‘water off a duck’s back’; sparking an epiphany. Paul Taylor realised that psychological and emotional stress stimulated adaptive, protective responses in the same way exercise, physical stress, does. In this conversation Paul explains the good, the bad and the ugly of stress, how our perception of stress changes its affects on us for better or for worse, what’s happening in an anxious brain, how we can all build physical and psychological resilience and so much more.A former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul Taylor is a Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist who is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group & The University of Tasmania.MindBodyBrain Project Podcastwww.mindbodybrain.com.au@mindbodybrainpiDeath By Comfort bookwww.paultaylor.bizThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

When Yael Schonbrun headed back to work after having her first child she thought to herself ‘I’ve got this in the bag’. The reality couldn’t have been any more different from the expectation, perhaps you can relate! Yael leveraged her experience as a parent, and an academic to firstly dive into the research, then begin to call out the myth of the work-life balance that was at the heart of so many available resources.

One of my most memorable interactions with a stranger involved two random acts of kindness. That experience still gives me goosebumps when I think about it and will always stay with me. Little did I know at the time, that showing kindness reduces anxiety. The research around kindness is unequivocal; the giver, the receiver and even people lucky enough to witness an act of kindness all benefit from a flood of feel good hormones that are released. Kindness reduces stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness and boosts our health and wellbeing in powerful ways. Gestures don’t have to be grand, and don’t have to cost a thing. In this episode, I explain the power of kindness for us, and everyone around us. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

It’s so hard being a teenager. Pressures and expectations from friends, peers, parents, and those that they put on themselves can weigh heavily. Add in academic pressures, bullying, body image issues, changing bodies, romantic relationships, the ‘always on’ nature of the digital age plus the impacts of the pandemic and it’s no surprise we’re seeing overwhelming rates of stress and anxiety among teens the world over. In today’s episode, the incredible Professor James (Jim) Mazza shares practical distress tolerance skills for teens, when and how to teach them, and how we can all equip the teens in our lives to cope with the huge ups and downs of life with healthy strategies that work.James J. Mazza is a professor in the School Psychology Program at the University of Washington and has been working for over 30 years with high-risk adolescents who engage in self-harming behaviors and specifically suicidal behavior. He was the past president of the American Association of Suicidology from 2005-2007 and is still actively involved in trying to help school psychologists play a major role in helping to prevent suicidal and self-harming behavior among students. His current research focus is centered around the implementation of a universal emotion regulation SEL curriculum called DBT STEPS-A. This unique curriculum is based on the DBT skills that have been used effectively with highly suicidal adults and [email protected]://www.dbtinschools.com/Purchase: DBT Skills in Schools Book@dbtinschools@JimMazza,PhDThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Tapping. Have you heard of it? Have you tried it for anxiety, chronic pain, or something else? I was a total tapping skeptic to begin with, and had been for years before a listener reached out an asked me to record an episode on tapping for anxiety. My research revealed a mountain of evidence, including systematic reviews and meta analyses, data that lead me to the wonderful work of Dr Peta Stapleton who joined me for this episode. Combining elements of exposure, cognitive restructuring and acupoint stimulation, tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), are effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression and PTSD and more. A technique I highly recommend adding to your anxiety toolkit.Dr Peta Stapleton WebsiteDr Peta on Facebook Dr Peta on LinkedIn Dr Peta on Instagram EFT TrainingTapping for Veterans WorldwideThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Brene Brown tells us that perfectionism is not the same as striving to be your best, healthy achievement and growth. Though some view it as a positive trait it’s actually debilitating in two main ways; an insatiable drive to meet unrealistic standards often spending way too long on unnecessary detail and prioritising the end product over the learning process, or feeling so pressured to achieve an unreachable standard that procrastination sets in and nothing gets done. In this episode Dr Clarissa Ong explains the double edged sword of perfectionism, the costs of rigidity over flexibility and what we can all do to operate differently, or support young people to let perfectionism go.Dr Clarissa OngThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

At the risk of making you anxious I have something to tell you; if we’re not careful, we could spend as much as 17 years of our lives staring at our devices if we don’t do something about our digital habits. In this conversation Dr Kristy Goodwin shares the details of an accident with one of her boys that fuelled her determination to help us all to become the master of our devices rather than slaves to our screens. She explains how our devices trigger our fight or flight response, why our devices have such a magnetic pull and practical, do-able changes we can put into place to put us back in control and give us more time back. Time for work we care about, time with our families, time doing the things we only have one lifetime to do.Dr Kristy’s WebsiteDear Digital, We Need To Talk…Dr Kristy on LinkedInDr Kristy on InstagramDr Kristy on FacebookThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

It’s time to think and talk about autistic children and adults differently. This week’s guest, the phenomenal autism academic and advocate Dr Luke Beardon, completely rejects the model of autism as a deficit, as a disorder, as individuals with impairments. He defines autism, shares his golden equation for understanding how the environment effects outcomes for autistic people, reveals how autistic people experience anxiety differently, shares valuable insights on how parents and teachers can champion autism-friendly environments in all aspects of their child’s or student’s life and so much more.Books by Dr Luke Beardon - https://www.bookdepository.com/author/Luke-BeardonEmail - [email protected] for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Uncertainty is a fundamental driver of anxiety. We crave certainty, and yet, would you actually want to be certain about what's going to happen in every single aspect of your life? I wouldn't despite how anxiety provoking and awful living with uncertainty can be. In today's episode, Dr. Toni Lindsay, author of The Certainty Myth, reminds us that life isn't always easy, and it was never meant to be, but we can adjust; we can cope. She shares what she's learned about certainty and uncertainty, and what we can all do in the midst of overwhelming uncertainty, through her experience as a clinical psychologist supporting children, teenagers, and young adults through their cancer journey.Connect with Dr Toni Lindsay and her workhttp://www.tonilindsay.com.au/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYvEsHiBOYIThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Ikigai is often misunderstood- this beautiful Japanese word isn’t easily defined given the spectrum on which we can experience ikigai, and the different ways we can cultivate it. Ultimately, it’s a feeling. It’s different from happiness and is strongly tied to our future. It's tied to meaning and purpose, having a strong sense of self and, crucially, is tied to our values. In this episode Japanologist and Founder of Ikiga Tribe, Nick Kemp, shares the components of Ikigai, why it matters and how we can begin to cultivate it as we create fulfilling lives with moments of joy, and lifelong meaning and purpose.https://ikigaitribe.com/podcasts/https://ikigaitribe.com/ikigai/mieko-kamiya/https://ikigaikan.com/Connect with Nick Kemphttps://twitter.com/NicholasKemphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-kemp-author/Ikigai 9 QuestionairreValues In Action SurveyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This short and sweet episode is all about a game-changing strategy for anyone whose anxiety says "stop," "don't do it," "it feels too uncomfortable," or "let's put this off for later." This means that this episode is for all of us who live with anxiety!In this episode, I share a strategy called "Opposite Action." I explain what it is, why it's an essential tool in our toolkit, and a practical way to figure out exactly where to start. This strategy helps us put an end to procrastination and overwhelm that comes with waiting to not feel anxious, so we can get things done. It supports us to feel anxious and move forward anyway.Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

What can you do to help when your child won’t talk? They might be a chatterbox at home, perhaps even confident and loud! But in settings that provoke anxiety, they won’t say a word. This describes selective mutism. It can look different for different children, but every single family that has a child who is a selective mute shares one thing in common; the anguish that comes with not knowing how to help. That’s all about to change, thanks to today’s guest Dr Elizabeth Woodcock; Founder, Director and Principal Psychologist at the Selective Mutism Clinic in N.S.W, Australia. And yes, they work with children and families online too!In this episode Elizabeth explains selective mutism, describes what it looks like for different children, talks about the important role of parents, her 5-Stage Model and a detailed example of one of their most powerful strategies.Elizabeth says “it’s not over until the selective mute sings” showing you just how far children with selective mutism can progress with the right help.Learn more:https://selectivemutism.com.au/https://selectivemutism.com.au/member/dr-elizabeth-woodcock/https://selectivemutism.com.au/seminars/InstagramFacebookBook: Helping your child with selective mutismHow you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Today’s guest, Psychologist and renowned media commentator Dr Michael-Carr Gregg hasn’t seen anything like the rates of anxiety in children and teens in decades of clinical practice. Despite the incredible challenge of anxiety for young people and their families, he assures parents that it is treatable; and that parents play an important role in the process. In this conversation Michael explains anxiety just as he would to a family in his clinic, and shares the steps that work to help anxious young people develop the understanding and tools that work to wind anxiety back. It takes time, but is absolutely possible. He also explains the most powerful predictor of childhood wellbeing and the four tasks critical to healthy child wellbeing and development: Friendship, connecting with school, taking healthy risks and establishing an island of competence, and beginning to separate from their family of origin.We talk about school refusal, reassurance, graduated exposure, social media, how anxiety is a logic free zone and much more.Michael Carr-GreggTwitterScratch a Happy Adult, Find a Socially Connected ChildhoodA 32-Year Longitudinal Study of Child and Adolescent Pathways to Well-Being in Adulthoodhttps://brave4you.psy.uq.edu.au/https://moodgym.com.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

When was the last time you experienced awe? And what’s it got to do with anxiety? Hmmm, it can be a tricky one because we typically think awe comes from big moments, like seeing the Eiffel Tower, visiting the Grand Canyon, visiting Uluru or swimming with Whale Sharks. While each of those experiences is bound to elicit awe, we can actually experience awe in everyday moments, inside our homes or workplaces and outside in nature.In this episode Jake Eagle, Psychotherapist and co-author of The Power of Awe explains the powerful role of awe in reducing anxiety quickly, where we can find awe in everyday moments and how to use the A.W.E. strategy to elicit the greatest benefit from these moments.The Power of Awe is available for sale on Amazon.To learn more, go to https://thepowerofawe.comInstagram - @thepowerofawebookFacebook - The Power of AWETwitter - @ThePowerofAWETikTok - thepowerofaweThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This is part two of a two part series on school refusal with the Founder of the School Refusal Clinic in Melbourne, John Chellew. John is a world leader in the treatment of school refusal and has so much compassion for the challenges it brings for children, teens and their parents, carers and schools. His work with young people is supported by his therapy dog Max and the clever way he meets young people where they’re at; and how most of the work he does with children and their families is well outside of the four walls of his office.School Refusal Clinic BaysideSchool Refusal Clinic FacebookSchool Refusal Clinic InstagramHeadspaceParents in Partnership | La Trobe UniversityThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

School refusal is a tremendous challenge for kids, teenagers, their families and their schools. Often misunderstood, it’s not usually a matter of not wanting to go to school; most want to be back in the classroom with their friends; they just feel so overwhelmed that they can’t. Anxiety is one of the challenges that often underpins the overwhelming discomfort that accompanies walking through the school gate, getting out of the car, or even leaving the house. It’s terribly distressing for the whole family, some parents forced to leave their jobs to take care of their child at home. In this episode, part one of a two part series, John Chellew, Founder of The School Refusal Clinic in Melbourne helps us understand what’s at the heart of school refusal, the important role of parents and the fun, unique approach he uses to change the lives of school refusers and their families.School Refusal Clinic BaysideSchool Refusal Clinic FacebookSchool Refusal Clinic InstagramHeadspacePartners in Parenting | Monash UniversityGuidelines for parents of children with school reluctanceThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

The agonisising pain of loss is so hard to live with; it’s common to armour up and to try to protect ourselves from ever experiencing that type of hurt ever again. This is the experience of Jenny Wynter after losing her mum at the tender age of five. Jenny spent the next 30 years bracing herself from more loss but, eventually, in the face of losing her other mum, her nan; she realised just how much she needed to let go of the armour and deeply connect, contemplating how decades of bracing came not with protection, but at a cost. In this heartwarming conversation comedian and mental health advocate Jenny Wynter shares openly about love and loss, about her own mental health journey to her diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and how her experiences shaped her career in comedy from clown doctor to award winning performance artist.*There is talk of suicide in this episode; please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you need support of any kind.Jenny Wynter | WebsiteJenny Wynter | InstagramJenny Wynter | FacebookJenny Wynter | Funny MummiesTED Talk | Jenny Wynter | Forget the brace positionThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Nightime fears in children affect the whole family. While they’re developmental to a point, so many children, and even teens, feel anxious and frightened in bed alone and will do all they can to avoid that happening. Fears of intruders, monsters, shadows or something bad happening to their parent/s are just some of the reasons underlying the anxiety that shows up at bedtime. In this episode child and adolescent psychologist Dr Krystal Lewis helps parents understand nighttime fears, signs to look out for and importantly, what parents can do to support their children to transition to sleeping alone and settling into bed peacefully at night.Twitter: Dr Krystal LewisLinkedIn: Dr Krystal LewisAnxiety & Depression Association America: Dr Krystal Lewiscdc.govNational Institute Mental Health (USA)Dr Krystal Lewis’ book recommendationsUncle Lightfoot, Flip that Switch: Overcoming Fear of the Dark - Mary Coffman What to do when you dread your bed: A kids guide to overcoming problems with sleep- Dawn Huebner Outsmarting Worry: An Older Kids Guide to Managing Stress and Anxiety- Dawn HuebnerThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Our time here is limited, that’s not news to anyone of us but it’s not something we often, or like to, think about. Understandably, it’s painful to contemplate not being around but what’s arguably more painful, is going through each day, over years and years, and not doing the things that are important. The things that might scare us, but also light us up. Standing up for what we believe in, and being the type of person we want to be. In this episode I share a handful of questions to help you gain more clarity so that you can begin, or continue to, steer your life in the direction that will bring you the most fulfilment now, and in years to come. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Difficult thoughts, worry and distressing thinking can be very much a part of the anxiety package that makes life miserable at times. While we can’t control what we think, or change what we think, we can change our relationship with what we think using a number of different strategies. In this episode I share a range of ideas that facilitate the process of putting distance between who we are and what we’re thinking. These ideas were a game changer for me and my incessant worry, I hope they do the same for you, or someone you love. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

Anxiety has a way of pulling us back, telling us ‘no’, saying ‘stop’ or spilling over and holding us down before we even get a chance to think about what we really want. It’s because our brain is working hard to keep us safe, and yet, these signals keep our world small. They stop us from doing what matters; sometimes in huge ways, sometimes in ways that are small but significant. However anxiety gets in the way for you, this episode is designed to give you a fresh perspective on your life with anxiety; I do this by asking you a very important question. Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

The sudden onset of anxiety, OCD behaviours, tics (including blinking, shrugging, snorting, throat clearing), changes in handwriting and bedwetting are tell-tale signs of a relatively unknown disease known as PANS/PANDAS - and occur in the wake of (and sometimes months after) an infection, often strep throat. On average one in 200 children will be affected but, among the medical fraternity, it’s not always easily recognised, which is why my conversation with Dr Leila Masson for this episode is so incredibly important. In this episode Leila shares the causes, what to look for, and importantly how PANS/PANDAS is treated. The majority of cases resolve with ibuprofen and antibiotics. Getting the correct diagnosis early is everything.Dr Leila Masson WebsiteDr Leila Masson’s PANDAS blogDr Leila Masson’s BookDr Leila Masson on FacebookPANDAS NetworkPANDAS Physician’s NetworkAustralasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM)P.A.N.D.A.S.

Social anxiety is so hard to live with and while we all feel socially anxious at times, for many, it closes in the walls of life, impacts personal and professional opportunities and gets in the way of connection. But it doesn’t have to. Really it doesn’t. This episode is choc full of insights, understanding and practical ideas - and what makes my guest Dr Ellen Hendriksen extra special is that she shares her wisdom and strategies from the standpoint of a world leader in social anxiety as well as someone who lives, and has worked through, those same challenges.Dr Ellen HendriksenHow to be yourself: Quiet your inner critic and rise above social anxietyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

I put it to you that you that you’ll learn more about alcohol in this 45 minute episode than you will have learned over your whole life. And much of what you learn may surprise you. Please let me know if I’m wrong.

In this episode you’ll learn how the very thing so many turn to to quell anxiety only makes it worse, how alcohol impacts brain function, cancer risk, decision making, openness to change and so much more.

Skin picking is surprisingly common, yet very few people who struggle with this condition seek help. In this episode I share my experiences with skin picking from childhood to now as well as insights for listeners to watch out for (or reflect on) when it’s most likely to begin, who it’s most likely to affect, why tackling skin picking isn’t a matter of will and importantly, practical suggestions that help. If you, or someone you care about, needs support to tackle skin picking, start with your GP. There’s lots of help available. I’ve included some supportive resources below too.https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/related-disorders/skin-picking-disorder/https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/conditions/dermatillomania-skin-pickingThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

This episode touches on suicide, if you or someone you know needs help please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.Shockingly, the number of Australian men who die by suicide every year is nearly double the national road toll. While many men seek help, some men’s mental health challenges go unrecognised for a very long time. A handful of contributing factors, like genetics, past trauma and upbringing aren’t changeable, but there are many that are. Irrespective of what’s happened in the past, understanding and help are readily available, just a phone call away in fact. Before men’s mental health challenges can be addressed, they need to be identified. In this episode my guest, Dr Tim Moss from healthymale.org.au, powerfully shares some of his own mental health journey, reveals his brilliant mental health barometer, explains signs and symptoms for fellas to look out for, shares where to reach out to for help and much more.Healthy MaleMensline AustraliaBeyond BlueLifeline 13 11 14Suicide Prevention AustraliaSuicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467National helplines and [email protected] for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
