What do you do when things aren’t working and it feels like there’s nothing left to be done?

Whether your teen is isolating themselves in their room, refusing to go to school, self-harming, refusing to eat, refusing therapy, or any other negative pattern you find yourself in with your struggling teen, we sometimes reach the point where it feels like there’s nothing else we can do.

You can’t control your teen. You can’t make them go to school or make them stop using substances. And that can feel incredibly discouraging. I remember it did to me… But it can also be the best news ever.

There is a way to get out of these patterns you’re finding yourself in with your struggling teen. It may seem like an impasse but there’s hope. There’s so much hope.

Because even though you can’t control your teen, you can always control yourself.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode on getting out of an impasse with your struggling teen, we discuss:

• Seeing your part and how you’re responsible for your own actions and feelings;
• The difference between fault and responsibility;
• The role of your thoughts, feelings, and actions;
• Understanding which value(s) you want to act from;
• Recognizing and disrupting the unhealthy patterns you’re in with your struggling teen;
• And more!
