It's really focusing on your way of being as a human and as a parent.
Parenting a teen or young adult grappling with substance misuse can feel like navigating a minefield. Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', brings in family therapist Rebekah Tayebi to shed light on the parent's crucial role in their child's journey to recovery. With 18 years of experience, Rebekah offers a fresh perspective: the child shouldn't be seen as the sole patient. Instead, the entire family dynamic plays a part in the healing process.
This episode dives into how to distinguish between typical teenage behavior and genuine mental health issues, and when it's time to seek outside help. Rebekah also touches on the common triggers parents might face, and why we often look for someone to 'fix' our kids. The conversation is candid and packed with practical advice, such as the importance of empathy, honesty, and neutrality in parenting. Brenda shares her own experiences, including a heartfelt tangent on ADHD and ADD diagnoses.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent feeling overwhelmed by their child's substance misuse. It not only offers valuable insights but also emphasizes the incredible influence parents have on their child's recovery journey.
