Podcasts about parent teen control battle

Neil D. Brown, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, author, speaker and management consultant based in Santa Cruz, California. When clients come to Neil, they're wanting more than an empathetic ear. They're looking to solve a problem: a problem with a relationship, such as with a child, partner or work associate, or a problem with how they're feeling in life. Trained in Family Therapy and now an author and trainer with extensive experience working with families with children and teens, couples, and individuals, Neil welcomes the opportunity to bring out-of-the-box solutions to the challenges clients are facing. His systemic approach allows him to understand the context in which problems are both formed and are healed. Additionally, Neil has worked in several industries as an effective corporate consultant. Now, Neil is limiting his consulting practice to address the specific needs of all modalities of behavioral health treatment programs. A graduate of the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work, Neil became a student of Structural Family Therapy and Brief Therapy from which he evolved his own highly actionable therapeutic model for helping families transform out of unhealthy family patterns. This approach has revealed a simple yet profound method of empowering parents and their adolescent youth to put an end to destructive control battles for good. He provides this method in his acclaimed book, Ending the Parent-Teen Control Battle and delivers timely content for families in his weekly podcast, “Healthy Family Connections.” Sign up for 10% off of Shrink Rap Radio CE credits at the Zur Institute

In this episode Neil reviews a blog post where a Mom shares her story of turning her painful relationship with her teen daughter around.  Neil appreciates her approach yet recognizes that 1) It can be harder than it sounds and why, and 2) Often, destructive teen behavior has to be called out and immediately addressed. Neil explains that like the Mom in the story ending her Control Battle, calling out destructive behavior must be done in a way that is outside of and is part of ending a Parent-Teen Control Battle.  Neil shares his powerful method for doing just that.

In this episode Neil answers a question from a mother who has a 13-year-old daughter who refuses to go to counseling and won’t talk if made to go. Mother is trying to do the right thing for her daughter, but her daughter simply won’t cooperate. After attempts with several therapists, Mom feels frustrated and helpless. Neil helps Mom see that her daughter’s refusal to cooperate with therapy, is like other behaviors where Mom is trying to get her daughter to do or stop doing a behavior, and the daughter resists. Neil Speaks to how solutions become problems and how the Parent-Teen Control Battle is now the problem. Neil gives Mom some guidelines for ending the Battle and explains why parental involvement in the counseling with teenagers is vital to healthy outcomes. Have a question for Neil?
