In this episode, Dr. Stuart Ablon—a renowned clinical psychologist and Harvard Medical School faculty member—shares a radically different approach to understanding and addressing challenging behavior in kids and adults alike. He introduces the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) model, built on a powerful insight: "People do well if they can."

Through real-life examples and a live roleplay with Tim and Troy Green, Dr. Ablon walks us through a practical, three-step framework to handle difficult situations without power struggles, guilt, or frustration. Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, or boss, this episode will give you tools to build empathy, connection, and real problem-solving skills in your relationships.
