HEALTHY FAMILY CONNECTIONS

You Can't Solve A Problem That You Don't Understand


Listen Later

In this episode Neil responds to a question from a mother who is wondering if she is doing by sending her son to weekly therapy. He is socially isolated, plays endless video games, doesn't eat or sleep well, and is anxious and depressed. Neil explains that it isn't going to be helpful because Mom doesn't know what is underlying his behavior and her son is unmotivated and doesn't have insight into is own issues either. Neil suggests psychological testing as a way to understand his issues; his strengths and the areas he needs to work on, and how best to work on them. Neil challenges listeners that when they are concerned about the behaviors of the children, teens, and young adults they are parenting or working with, to be sure they understand what is driving the behavior and be sure to own their part of the solution.
