How To Build Self Esteem And Resilience - New Groundbreaking Podcast Series By Visionary Psychologist And Bestselling Author Barbara Becker Holstein

Sadly, due to these modern-day pressures, a very large percentage of girls today have seriously considered suicide. So how do we reach this generation of girls and provide them with the resources they need to build self-esteem and resilience? Dr.

Barbara Becker Holstein is a visionary psychologist and filmmaker whose unprecedented selfie films have garnered over 200 placements and awards. Her singular vision is to help girls build resilience, self-esteem, and discover their own talents, abilities, and self-worth.

"As a positive psychologist and among many other roles in life such as a grandmother, I shiver when I think of what stresses we put on today's children," Dr. Holstein stated.

Dr. Holstein has spent decades developing tools and techniques to help girls enhance self esteem and resilience.

The Truth - A Short FilmA young girl shares her diary - falling in love, hating her mother, hating her parents fighting, being afraid to grow up, being upset that they may move, loving the locket her aunt gives her and feeling loved in ways by her aunt that her parents can't seem to muster, wishing the boy she is in love with would grow taller, confronting her disappointment that she has no relationship with him, sharing her glee at having a best friend and confiding in each other, coming to terms with growing up, letting go of her first love, getting ready to move and more. In these conversations the girl shares her loneliness moving, losing her best friend, her beginning friendships with new kids, and her realization that she has fallen in love again.

The 'girl' hates her parents, falls in love, has puberty and body concerns, realizes that secrets matter and finds herself in a miserable accidental situation. All ends on an upbeat note with the girl realizing she is most in touch with happiness and a sense of joy when she is being true to herself.

A seance with a Medium in which the 'girl's' great-grandmother comes through gives her the courage she needs to ask her mom questions and in turn to learn some family secrets. The Medium - A Coming Of Age Selfie FilmThe girl, unhappy, goes to visit a favorite aunt who takes her to see a medium.

Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills.
