We just need to go to this or we need to do this. The counselor that we found him helped so much, and he's kind of one of my off-the-beaten-path counselors that I found, you know, not licensed, not anything kind of a spiritual woo kind of thing.
Beth Syverson, co-host of the Safe Home Podcast, recently joined Rebecca Greene on The Whinypaluza Podcast to discuss the complex challenges parents face when their teens struggle with addiction and mental health issues. Beth opens up about her personal journey with her son's addiction, which inspired her to create the Safe Home Podcast as a resource for families in similar situations.
The conversation is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt wisdom, focusing on the importance of being a calm and empathetic parent rather than reacting impulsively during stressful times. Beth shares insightful tips on identifying signs of drug use in teenagers, such as changes in behavior and a sudden lack of interest in activities they once loved. She also tackles the tough reality of relapse, offering strategies to manage it without losing hope.
Another highlight is the discussion on alternative healing methods like spiritual counseling, which can provide additional support for both teens and their parents. Beth emphasizes the critical need for self-care among parents, who often put their own well-being on the back burner while trying to help their children. Adoption's impact on mental health is another important topic covered, shedding light on issues that are often overlooked.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating the turbulent waters of teen addiction and mental health, offering both practical advice and emotional support.
