Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

179. Feeling Like You’re Failing as a Parent? Welcome to the Club! With Jessica Stewart
Q: What is the key structure or acronym you use to frame parenting in a calmer, more connected way?
The framework CALM—Connection, Acceptance, Love, and Managing your Mind—guides parents to repair and maintain connection, accept where their teen is, lead with unconditional love, and regulate their own emotions for better outcomes.
179. Feeling Like You’re Failing as a Parent? Welcome to the Club! With Jessica Stewart
Q: Okay, so what is the right job description for parents, if it isn't to keep kids safe and happy?
The right job is to be with them, understand who they are becoming, and prepare them to be independent. This includes guiding, coaching from the sidelines, and focusing on the parent's own growth and emotional regulation.
181. ​​Understanding Self-Destructive Behaviors in Teens & Young Adults With Therapist Katie May
Q: What is the difference between self-harm and suicide, and why is understanding this important for parents?
Self-harm (like cutting) is usually a means to regulate intense emotions and is not synonymous with suicide; understanding this helps parents respond with safety, connection, and seek appropriate professional help rather than assuming the worst.
181. ​​Understanding Self-Destructive Behaviors in Teens & Young Adults With Therapist Katie May
Q: How should a parent begin to respond when they notice self-destructive behavior in their teen?
First, assess your own emotional state, name how you feel, and then validate your child's emotions before moving to problem-solving; avoid escalating responses and try to set a calm boundary to discuss when things are calmer.
130. From Sibling to Mentor: The Sibling’s Perspective & Building Community After Treatment With Ethan Gordon
Q: What do you suggest for integrating community into the transition home?
Ethan emphasizes the need for strategies that create happiness and connection in daily life.
