This episode is a continuation to the episode called How Maneuver Self-Destructive Teen Behaviors.

During this episode, you’re going to get tactical head on scenarios and advice on what to say to your child if he or she threatens to harm themselves. Dr. Daniel Lobel is joining me again.  He is a clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience.  He’s also written two books titled When Your Daughter Has B-P-D and When Your Mother Has Borderline Personality Disorder.

We touched on many things last episode, so I would encourage you to go back and listen to that one.

If not, that’s totally ok!  We got you covered during this one too!

Dr. Lobel made a point to say that suicidal thoughts don’t discriminate. They can creep up on any one of us at any time. 

It’s especially true for teens dealing with hormonal changes, social media pressure, making good grades and living up to the expectations of parents, teammates and coaches.

Many of us can shrug and say to ourselves, “My teen is just bummed out and having another bad day.”  But that is a dangerous thing for you to do. We sometimes don’t realize that their bad feelings have been building up over a long period of time.

If you’re child is threatening to harm themselves out of manipulation or their serious … what do you say and do?

If you need guidance on this, please listen.
