Coaching Episode #3: Finding Points of Control When Life Feels Chaotic; Post-Residential Struggle, Marijuana Use, Mental Health Concerns And A Very Tired Mom
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Our coaching episodes are always hugely popular and today you'll get to hear how Mandy is dealing with a high-risk teenager who's been to residential treatment and is now home, returning to old habits (marijuana) and friends, and is newly on probation...
Plus she works for the city she lives in, so from the police chief to the judge who sentenced her son, all eyes are on her. Oh, and on top of that, she has two other sons and a husband, all of whom need her time and attention. Add in COVID and a few other obstacles and you can start to understand the difficult place she's in.
Mandy shares:
- how she's getting over the "denial" phase about her son's behavior and conduct
- her son's mental health diagnosis,
- why she and her husband decided against the advice of therapists to bring their son home from residential treatment, and how that's working out
- how this experience has impacted her marriage
- why she's trying not to "fix" or rescue her son anymore
- how she's able to find self-compassion
- why she's worried about her son's brain health
- and where she'd like to be in 6 months
