2023/08/22

"shhhhh. Don't talk aobut what is difficult for your family right now." (Except that this is my favorite thing to talk about.) Far too many parents believe the misconception that it's a bad thing to show your struggles. We've been handed down the unhelpful tradition of silence through our family or culture. While updating social media on your teen vaping may not be the answer, neither is keeping all your struggles to yourself. Our parenting pain needs to see the light of day to heal. This means

2023/07/11

Parents can mimic their teens without even realizing it. I coach Anne and Bill for a second time as we discuss how their son disgusts and annoys them with his rude behavior and self importance. They want him to start seeing things like they do. They want him to make progress, which is creating the exact opposite experience than they want. Getting stuck on what he's doing wrong is leading them to similar behavior that they don't even see until today. Maybe you're invalidating yourself like they are

Put more than one human in a room and what do you get? Annoyed. At least eventually. It's really common for my clients to be upset with themselves, their teen, for the human experience of annoyance.

Pretty much every single client I have has some form of: I'm not good enough, I don't deserve goodness, I deserve distain, I have to do it all perfect to be valuable, if only me or my kid would be more ....then they'd be good enough for me to know I've done a good job. Then I could feel okay with myself, my family, and be happy.

2023/05/16

Envy can be described as one of the deadly sins, the thief of joy, something really bad to be avoided at all cost. Sure, when used improperly, but when we recognize it and consciously consider it, the affect can be quite the opposite. Many of my clients look around and wish their spouse was more helpful, their teen was more responsible/honest/driven/tidy/friendly, their life to be filled with health and travel and quality looking relationships... because they see other families that they want to be
