I want to say thank you. My son (11) and out family is dealing with a similar situation atm. It was so helpful to recognise my not so helpful comments or strategies but also the helpful bits (not making what’s happening more than what it is). When my son comes home later i will be letting him to vent, as last time he said something i was so hurt that i told him enough about this. But now i realise i am his safe place and now i’m more aware of how to approach his feelings. So thank you.
Very interesting and informative.
Love this podcast. Lisa’s advice is well informed and caring and her voice is wonderfully warm and caring. The podcast has made the difference for my family more than once. When I’m overwhelmed with parenting the down to earth caring advice offered here help me feel I’m not alone.
I listen to this podcast as a 12 year old girl, and the information is extremely helpful during my day-to-day life. I have learned many tools to cope with anxiety and other personal issues, and it has really been a game changer. Highly recommend. (Also, I think that Lisa’s voice ads to the overall affect)
Such thoughtful and evidence based recommendations, great discussions, helpful scripts. I have been sharing this podcast far and wide.
