Dr. Sophie Mort, author of "Unstuck," provides insights into breaking negative habits, understanding teen decision-making, and reshaping the narratives surrounding adolescence to better support teens' growth and self-esteem.If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Full Show NotesNavigating teenage years is often associated with challenging habits and evolving identities—both for teens and their parents. Adolescence brings about a series of complex transitions, raising questions about how to best guide teenagers through this dynamic chapter of their lives. While society often spells out dire warnings about the teenage years, effective communication and understanding can pave the way for smoother family dynamics and healthier growth patterns.Many of us grapple with forming or breaking habits—whether it's a teen procrastinating on homework or a parent reacting emotionally in family disagreements. Often, these habits tether us to familiar yet unproductive routines. Dr. Sophie Mort sheds light on how these patterns form and evolve, making it clear that a blend of thought, tailored interventions, and empathy can recalibrate our responses.Dr. Sophie Mort, a clinical psychologist and the mental health expert at Headspace, joins us this week. She's not only the author of "A Manual for Being Human" but also the critically acclaimed book "Unstuck," a guide about breaking free from negative habits. Together, we dissect the nature of habits, explore the age-old debate of 'good' versus 'bad' habits, and delve into the societal and familial factors that magnetize our actions. Sophie eloquently clarifies that a habit's alignment with personal values and aspirations should define its nature—not arbitrary societal judgments.Understanding Teen Habits and ValuesSophie's approach encourages parents to redefine how they view their teens' habits, emphasizing alignment with personal values over rigid categorizations of good or bad. The discussion evolves into how to foster dialogue that prioritizes a teen's perspective and desires for their future—tools that empower both personal development and improved family relations.Decision-Making Amidst AnxietyThe journey into adolescence amplifies the need for navigational skills in decision-making. We explore when it's appropriate for teens to rely on their gut and when they should delve into deeper analysis. Sophie points out the nuanced relationship between anxiety and gut instincts, highlighting how fostering mindfulness can enhance informed decision-making.The Drama Triangle: Reshaping Family DynamicsFamily conflicts often play out in predictable roles labeled by the drama triangle: victim, persecutor, rescuer. These roles, if left unchecked, forge cyclical conflicts that simmer over time. Sophie shines a light on these recurring dynamics, providing strategies to break free from these patterns and reposition family members into more empowering roles.Resisting Stereotype PressuresTeen identity is frequently influenced by deeply ingrained societal stereotypes, often resulting in pigeonholed expectations. We explore stereotype embodiment and its impact on teenage behaviors and self-image. Sophie's insights into fostering media literacy encourage teens to critically evaluate the narratives they consume, aiding them in constructing resilient self-concepts.Confidence Vs. Self-EsteemLastly, distinguishing between confidence and self-esteem becomes vital in nurturing overall well-being. Understanding these differences helps parents support their teens in cultivating a robust sense of self-worth that transcends external accolades and societal pressures.In the Episode…Alongside these themes, Sophie and I delve into:The benefits of mindful decision-makingEmpowering teens to define their identity beyond stereotypesTechniques to engage teens in constructive, future-oriented dialoguesMethods for parents to model authentic imperfectionThis episode is a journey into fostering environments where both teens and parents grow beyond habitual ruts towards more authentic lives.

Bist Du schon mal richtig ausgerastet und hast Menschen, die Dir lieb und teuer sind angeschrien wir eine Irre. Hinterher hast Du Dich vielleicht schuldig gefühlt, weil Du vollkommen die Kontrolle verloren hattest? Reißt Du vielleicht vor Konflikten regelrecht aus, weil im Streit plötzlich alles weg ist, was Du sagen wolltest und in Deinem Kopf findest Du anstatt Argumenten einfach nur ohnmächtige Leere? Oder gibst Du einfach nach und lächelst tapfer, um Dein Gegenüber zu beschwichtigen? Vielleicht kennst Du auch den Bambi-Reflex?Gerade in sehr nahen Beziehungen passiert es, dass alte Wunden aufgerissen werden und unser Körper ein uraltes biologisches Schutzprogramm hochfährt, um Dich vor einer Bedrohung zu schützen. Angriff, Totstellen, Flucht und Unterwerfung laufen wie eine Art Automatikmodus ab und sind meist ein Mitbringsel aus den frühen Bindungserfahrungen unserer Kindheit. Wir verlieren dabei die bewusste Steuerung und das fühlt sich beängstigend an. Vor allem aber verstärkt es unsere Beziehungsprobleme, weil wir mit diesem Notfallprogramm keine wirklichen Lösungen auf Augenhöhe finden können. In dieser Folge schauen wir uns die 4 F Reaktion genau an, damit Du verstehst was in Dir passiert, wenn Du Dich verletzt, beängstigt oder bedroht fühlst und wie lernen kannst, Beziehungsprobleme auch anders zu lösen.

Znacie instagramowy profil dr Soph? Należy do psycholożki klinicznej z dziesięcioletnim doświadczeniem.

Już wkrótce porozmawiamy o tym, co podcina, a co pozwala rozłożyć skrzydła. Naszym gościem będzie Mateusz Banaszkiewicz – psycholog i czytelnik "Czułości".

A podcast with free therapy and extracts from my teenage diary? I'm spoiling you, I really am. Full disclosure, this emotion is intense. Toska is a Russian feeling- often billed as untranslatable, but I've given it a good try. It's a longing for something when you don't know what you're longing for, an anguish, a sadness, a boredom. It's....a bit of a downer.If you're feeling melancholic, or perhaps during lockdown just felt pretty rubbish, you might recognise this emotion. You'll also be happy to see I've got an expert to help me try and detangle this knotty feeling. Dr Soph Mort is a psychologist- originally working for the NHS, but now working hard to make therapy accessible and approachable for everyone. In the podcast, I discover more about what an emotion actually is (arguably I probably should have done this, like, at the beginning of the last series), how toska can (or can't) feel, and how we can work through it. Because yes, help is at hand! As I discover, this emotion may present in different ways with different people, but that doesn't mean there are little things you can do to minimise the impact of it. And one of them is journalling! Which, handily, I've been doing since I was a teenager. So I've peppered the show with a handful of my least cringeworthy entries; part-Samuel Pepys, part-Bridget Jones. (Who am I kidding? They're 100% Adrian Mole)Dr Soph's book is popping up in all sort of excellent reviews and Top 10 lists right now, so go grab her book, A Manuel for Being Human, before it sells out.
