Counterintuitive Parenting if Your Child Struggles with Substances & Mental Health

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

In this episode from the vault, I draw from my own experiences to share four counterintuitive strategies that can transform relationships and encourage healing when you're parenting a young person struggling with substance use and mental health. 

I emphasize the importance of asking questions instead of giving commands, focusing on self-reflection rather than solely on your child, trusting a higher power, and broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture. 

I've also included recommendations for books, podcasts, and exercises to support you on this challenging journey, promising hope and community support along the way.
