Welcome to another episode of the Transforming Lives panel podcast, hosted by Sharmin Prince and Mitzy Dadoun. In this thought-provoking episode, we are joined by the inspiring Sally Raymond, an 82-year-old psychotherapist with over 29,000 sessions under her belt. Sally's journey into psychotherapy began after the tragic suicide of her eldest son, which propelled her into a lifelong mission to understand and prevent the struggles that children face. Her book, "The Son I Knew Too Late," offers invaluable insights for parents to foster resilience in their children. Sally shares her expertise on the eight stages of development, based on Eric Erickson's model, and emphasizes the importance of understanding these stages to prevent crises. She also discusses the signs of depression and suicidality in children and offers guidance on how parents can support their children through these challenges.
