Saying goodbye to a pet is hard for everyone, especially children. How can parents help their children through the process, remember the sweet memories and celebrate their life?
This week Tara welcomes Katherine Pendergast and Lacie Brueckner to discuss how to walk children through the grieving process and provide strategies for parents who seek to prepare their children for the loss of a pet.. They will discuss their book, "Good Bye Bella: A Pet Story" In this thoughtful picture book, a young girl named Charlotte says goodbye to her dog, Bella, in the most loving way she can think of and cherishes the last few days with her beloved pet. After Bella passes away, Charlotte and her family celebrate Bella’s life and do activities to honor and remember their sweet Bella.
Katherine Pendergast is a Midwest author who has written several books, including award-winning and number-one bestsellers. She loves writing about tricky topics that can help families during difficult times. Some of the topics she has written about include pet adoption, pet loss, human loss, funerals, and grieving.
Lacie Brueckner has been a funeral director serving families since 2005. She takes a special interest in meeting the needs of children during the funeral process, as they very much want and need to feel included too. In her experience she has found that including them and letting them lead the way in how much they want to be included usually works the best.
She has also written several other books, including her award-winning books Pickles the Dog: Adopted, Pickles the Dog: A Christmas Tradition, and Babies of the Badlands.

141- Guest Expert: Nikki Pagano, LCSW - ARFID: Recognizing Red Flags in Children’s Eating Habits
Cast:
Dr. Tara Egan - host
Lacey Wallace - guest co-host
Nikki Pagano - guest expert
While picky eating is common among children, persistent and severe cases warrant attention from a healthcare professional.
Today, Tara is joined by Egan Counseling & Consulting's very own, Lacey Wallace. Tara and Lacey co-host an informative interview with Nikki Pagano, LCSW about selective eating in our kids.
Nikki Pagano is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. Prior to relocating to Charlotte, Nikki served as the Director of Adolescent Services at the Columbia Center for Eating Disorders in New York. She has co-authored an online eating disorder course for medical students which has been adopted by Columbia and Yale medical schools and currently teaches an eating disorder course to Atrium's psychiatric residents.
Nikki is certified in Family-based Treatment which is the first-line treatment for children and adolescents with restrictive eating disorders and has extensive training in and experience providing CBT for eating disorders and, more specifically, CBT for ARFID.
Today, she is here to discuss selective eating ---what to look for, what should parents be concerned about and ARFID.
ARFID stands for “avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.” ARFID is a relatively new eating disorder that looks very different from other eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Kids with ARFID aren’t worried about how much they weigh, though they sometimes do lose too much weight. Instead, they have rigid and restricted eating habits for other reasons.
Many kids with ARFID avoid foods that have a certain taste, texture, color or some other specific quality. And some kids with ARFID just have very little interest in food. It’s common for kids with all kinds of ARFID to like only a very limited set of foods.
What sets ARFID apart from normal picky eating is that ARFID has significant negative impacts on the child’s physical and/or mental health.
- How is it typically diagnosed?
- What are the signs that a child may warrant a diagnosis?
- Is this diagnosis comorbid with other diagnoses, typically?
- How is it typically treated?
- What role do parents have in the success of treatment?
- How can a parent find a provider who specializes in this?

140: - Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Part II - A Follow-Up to Brooke Bralove's Episode
Cast:
Dr. Tara Egan - host
Meredith Eaton - guest co-host
On this episode, Tara welcomes her best friend and guest co-host, Meredith Eaton. Tara and Meredith joined together for a follow up discussion (Part II) from the episode on 2/14 with Brooke Bralove, LCSW-C, ART Practitioner--- all about Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Tara was so inspired by this therapy, and Brooke, that she immediately signed up (and has just completed) the certification training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, evidence-based therapy that employs techniques like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), guided imagery, and visualization to assist people in processing and resolving traumatic memories.
Here’s how ART can be beneficial:
- Rapid Relief from Trauma Symptoms:
- ART aims to alleviate symptoms related to trauma, PTSD, phobias, addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
- Unlike other forms of trauma therapy, ART does not require you to provide a written or verbal description of the traumatic experience, which may limit feelings of distress.
- Most people find relief quickly, often within just a few sessions
Tune in to learn Tara's journey of taking the training and how it can help YOU!
