Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
A practical, boundary-focused guide for parents navigating teens through treatment and recovery, with emphasis on self-regulation, healthy communication, and reducing parental over-rescue. Episodes blend coaching techniques, clinical insights, and lived experiences from parents and professionals, often discussing wilderness therapy origins, trust-building, autonomy, and ways to support teens before, during, and after treatment. Noteworthy is the consistent use of actionable frameworks (circles of control, Brené Brown's trust concepts) and the recurring theme that lasting change starts with parental self-work and healthier boundaries rather than attempting to control a teen's outcomes.
