Raina Telgemeier: Turning Childhood Anxiety into a Graphic Memoir

Learning to talk to a therapist is a way of telling your own story, and so I was able to learn to describe how anxiety felt and what I was going through, and doing so gave her the tools to help me in return.
What happens when childhood anxiety meets the creative world of graphic novels? Raina Telgemeier, the celebrated author and illustrator behind popular children's books like Smile and Sisters, sits down with Jon Cohan and Gabrielle 'Abby' Dean on The Right Mind Media Podcast to discuss her latest work, GUTS. This personal graphic memoir delves into Raina's own struggles with anxiety as a child, offering a candid look at her journey and the importance of discussing mental health openly.
In this episode, Raina opens up about her experiences with fear and anxiety, shedding light on how these challenges shaped her life and work. She emphasizes the value of therapy and encourages kids to talk about their fears. Her story is a powerful reminder that it's okay to seek help and that sharing our stories can make a difference.
Whether you're a fan of her books or someone interested in mental health, this episode offers a heartfelt and insightful conversation that resonates with listeners of all ages.
