Helping Youth Process Shame and Negative Emotions with Sara Brown, LAMFT
The teenage years of parenting can make you feel powerless at times. Emotions run high and the ways they connect are not as easy to identify as they may have been in the past. In this episode of the podcast, Sara Brown is back to share why we need to embrace our children’s behavior as communication. When we can get curious about the why behind the behavior, we can get clarity around the need they are trying to get met.
Sara will also share why the adults in a young person’s life must do the hard work of learning to regulate their own emotions if we hope to see them do the same. You’ll also understand why being a repair expert is key to staying in relationship with your kids or the important young people in your life.
What You’ll Learn:
Why understanding brain development is critical for communication
Tips for helping a young person feel emotionally safe more often
How an awareness of our own shame can help us relate to young people in our life
What happens when we don’t do the work of repair when we blow it
