  • サマリー

  • Hello there, welcome to the Good Enough Shrink podcast! We are your hosts, Dr. Jenna Cheng and Dr. Patrick Kelly. We are child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists practicing in the Los Angeles Area.


    We are on a mission to demystify child psychiatry, and have conversations surrounding difficult topics on youth and adult mental health. But not without a bit of play along the way!


    The title of this podcast is a tribute to the famous child psychiatrist, Donald Winnicott, and his concept of the "Good Enough Parent.” This is the idea that the imperfect but sufficient provisions of a parent build the child's resilience in an imperfect world. We want to empower children and parents to embrace their strengths and flaws, and know that you are good enough.


    Importantly, we want to emphasize the power of holding difficult emotions from the lens of attachment theory. Attachment theory is based on the idea that humans need a social bond with another to survive. This bond, when it is “good enough”, serves as a secure base from which a child can explore the world unafraid. Your attachment experience from childhood is malleable and can influence the way you approach relationships in adulthood, serving as its own motivational system. When this attachment is disrupted, it can lead to emotional issues and sometimes full-blown psychiatric disorders. This is where psychiatrists and therapists come in.


    This podcast is for the curious adults, parents, family members, mental health professionals and trainees, looking to understand mental health from a developmental perspective. So we hope you join us in this adventure! To explore how your childhood might have shaped your adulthood. That small wins can have big impacts, that you are not doomed if you had adversity in your childhood. Your feelings belong to you, and you can own them to propel you toward enlivening your life.

  • Psychosis II: Is it Schizophrenia or Something Else?

    Psychosis II: Is it Schizophrenia or Something Else?
    2024/11/02

    Hello! We are continuing our conversation on psychosis. In this episode, we focus on differential diagnoses for psychosis, including medical and psychiatric conditions that can often be confused with a truly psychotic disorder like schizophrenia. Specifically, trauma is a big one, leading us to lose ourselves in the imbalance of imagination and reality. Especially in kids! Lastly, we talk about treatment of psychosis, our approach to antipsychotics, and non-pharmacological treatment like individual therapy and family support. This is a really really tough condition to navigate through, and we hope to share our experiences so you don’t feel alone in this journey.

  • Intro to Psychosis - History, Conceptualization, and Symptoms to Look For

    Intro to Psychosis - History, Conceptualization, and Symptoms to Look For
    2024/10/18

    Hello! This week, we delve into the fascinating history of how we conceptualize psychosis and schizophrenia. All those with schizophrenia have psychosis, but not all those with psychosis have schizophrenia. From a psychological framework to a biological one, the field of psychiatry has gone back and forth between the two and really struggled to understand schizophrenia. Now, we are just starting to see the interplay between genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and psychological factors at play in the risk of developing schizophrenia.

    This was quite a daunting topic to talk about since it is an area filled with uncertainty. But we have some direction, looking for symptoms that are more specific to schizophrenia. Join us in this whirlwind of conversation by two child psychiatrists trying to tackle this colossal topic!

  • School Anxiety, Avoidance and Refusal - What's Behind It and What to Do About It

    School Anxiety, Avoidance and Refusal - What's Behind It and What to Do About It
    2024/10/04

    School is back in full swing, and so is everyone's anxiety! We discuss the challenges kids, teens and parents face as they reintegrate back to school after the summer break. We delve into the various reasons for school avoidance and refusal, which are critical in understanding what is actually behind it. We conclude with a discussion on what to do about it -- mainly the importance of early preparation, open communication, accessing school resources, and when necessary, use of therapy and medications for depression and anxiety in children and adolescents.
