47: Why Running From Your Emotions Makes Parenting Teens So Much Harder (and What to Do Instead) | For LDS Moms of Teens

Have you ever lost your patience with your teenager, shut down emotionally, or found yourself saying something you later wished you could take back? Many of us were never taught what to do with difficult emotions. We either push them away and pretend we're fine, or react in the moment hoping the feeling will disappear.

In this episode, you'll learn why both of those approaches actually make parenting teens harder—and what to do instead. I'll introduce a simple framework for processing your emotions so they don't quietly build beneath the surface or drive your reactions. As you learn to recognize, hold, and process your feelings in a healthier way, you'll become more patient in your parenting and every other area of your life.

Have an emotion that's been sitting in the back of your fridge for too long? I'd love to help you process it in a free mini session. :)
