Episode 196 - The Emotionally Immature Things We Say (And Why They Don’t Work)

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your adult child and thought, “Why did I say that?” or “That did not go how I wanted”?

In this episode, Tina dives deep into the emotionally immature things we say—often without realizing it—and why those words don’t create the connection we long for. You’ll learn how your nervous system hijacks your responses, how to notice your patterns, and how to shift toward emotional maturity and real repair.

Whether you’ve said, “I’m not perfect, you know,” or “Just get over it and move on,” this episode will help you understand what’s underneath those words—and what to say instead.

What You'll Learn:

• Why emotional immaturity isn’t about being a “bad parent”—it’s about being in protection mode
• 7 common phrases that damage connection (and what they really mean)
• How your nervous system impacts your ability to stay calm and present
• Simple shifts to move from reactivity to responsibility in conversations

Why awareness—not perfection—is the first step to healing family relationships 

 If you’re tired of reacting to what’s happening in your family and want more internal calm and confidence, I’d love to support you. Reset to Connection runs live February 2–6 at 9 a.m. Mountain Time, with short daily sessions and replays available.  We'll focus on getting off the emotional roller coaster and creating confidence.
