Parental guilt and you
It’s safe to say that we all want to do the best we can for our pups. We want to give them the best food. We want to make sure we’re closely monitoring their health so that they’re always healthy and
comfortable. We want to make sure that they don’t’ find themselves in situations where they may feel uncomfortable and like they have to defend themselves.
But none of us are perfect. We’re not able to have our eyes on our dogs 24/7. We’re going to occasionally miss things (or think we’ve missed things) and occasionally, our dogs are going to find themselves in situations where they’re not comfortable, despite our best efforts.
And that, friends, is where parental guilt kicks in.
I’m very excited to welcome Alex Fliess back to the pod. Alex is a licensed clinical social worker in Chicago. After starting work in a group therapy practice in 2016, Alex went on to open their own practice – Three Tales Therapy – in 2018 and also co-owns Chicago Center for Sex and Wellbeing. I wanted to talk to Alex because they recently went through an incident with one of their dogs that led to a LOT of parental guilt and I thought they’d be perfect to break down how it works and how they handled it.
A quick note before we get into things. First, Hound Opinions will betaking a holiday break after this episode. In fact, this is likely to be the last episode of 2023. The plan is to resume season 4 in January.
DON'T FORGET: I want to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And I want to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options:
