113. Drew #91: The Challenge, Not the Fluff


Listen Later

Drew went back home to his parent's house to re-ground himself. He's been able to practice how to be present with his parents and not take on the full responsibility for their well-being. Although Drew feels more adult, Doug takes a tack of challenging him in session rather than the "fluff" of praising him and just using unconditional positive regard. Drew loves the challenge approach and is able to explore how he is starting to feel like an adult, but still acting like a child. In Drew's own words, he said, "I think I'm still learning how to be an adult in the process of learning how to be a parent, in the process of figuring out my childhood."
