Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about... 2:55 - Raising our own tolerance to the discomfort of our partner being "less effective" than we know we could be with our children. 5:55 - Ask yourself: "What if I am actually NOT the only expert on my child and what my partner is giving her is actually what she needs." 6:47 - Can you physically remove yourself (just in the short term) to allow your partner and child to adjust without you becoming triggered? 9:52 - What is the threshold for when you do want to step in and "rescue"? 12:24 - When we always rescue, we may inadvertently communicate to our child (and our partner!) that they aren't capable of parenting properly. ✨We want to hear from you!
