In this episode, we speak with licensed therapist Betsy Morris about the different developmental stages of the brain. We spend a lot of time around the teen phase and how that practically plays itself out in the home and how understanding this invisible development can lead to compassion and practical steps in dealing with your next uniquely teen encounter.
Betsy also shares about the pandemic, what it did to our mental health and how therapy can benefit us all as we continue to recover.
