66. How to Bring Up Backburner Issues With Tanya Hale - Part 2

11/28/2023
Backburner issues: those little things we’re annoyed about but feel too small or irrelevant to discuss. So we put them on the backburner where they keep growing and growing until they become this big issue in our relationship. Sounds familiar? In this second part of my interview with Tanya Hale, who’s an incredible mid-life relationship coach, she shares her formula for talking about backburner issues. Because here’s how she sees it: We don’t want to be mean. We want to be peacekeepers. But we don’t realize that by adopting this peacekeeper’s mindset, we’re working against our relationship. The solution? Instead of blaming and attacking, we have to learn how to bring up those backburner issues in a loving and kind way. Tanya’s formula is going to help us bring up backburner issues by owning it and still honoring what’s going on for you while communicating it to your loved ones. In this episode on how to bring up backburner issues, we discuss: If you’d like to connect, you can find me on Instagram (@bethhillmancoaching) or go to my website www.bethhillmancoaching.com.

65. Are We Boxing or Raising a Child? - Parenting as a Team With Tanya Hale

11/21/2023
Are you parenting your kid as a team or does it feel more like you’re in the boxing ring with the other parent, trying to prove that you’re right and they’re wrong? When emotions run high, it’s sometimes hard to acknowledge that you’re on the same team as the other parent. Instead of sitting down and listening to each other, we automatically shift towards an ‘I’m right and you’re wrong’ mindset. What if I tell you that it can be different? My dear friend and incredible mid-life relationship coach Tanya Hale joined me today for this value-packed interview on how we can parent as a team. She’s here to help us communicate better with our spouses (or the other parent if we’re divorced) and our adult children. Oof, doesn’t that sound incredible?!

64. How Much Support Is Too Much?

11/14/2023
How much support is too much? There’s a therapist, a tutor, an EF coach, maybe a mentor, and a basketball coach, and sometimes our kids are just like: ‘That’s enough!’. We must figure out how to listen to them and still give them the support they need. At a certain point, we need to give our kids the time and space to implement what they've learned, make mistakes and learn from them, and practice being independent young adults. So when is it the right time for this for your child? Every situation is different and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how much support is too much. So let’s dive into all the details in today’s episode!

63. Wilderness Therapy: A Blessing or a Curse?

11/7/2023
Wilderness isn’t bad, nor good. Hard, nor easy. A blessing, nor a curse. These are the thoughts we might have, but they’re not the facts. In this episode, I’m (re)introducing the concept of facts versus thoughts (in other words, the stories we make up in our minds) in the concept of our wilderness experiences. The experience of wilderness is made up of a lot of facts: whether your kid was transported there or not, whether they went voluntarily or not, the weather when they were there, and so on. But as human beings, our experiences don’t just consist of facts. We have thoughts about these facts. We create a story in our minds which leads us to have an opinion about the facts. And these are different for each of us. The tricky part? When we don’t pay attention, we can confuse our own stories for facts. Have a listen to today’s episode, where we dive deeper into this concept and discuss how listening and being open to each other’s stories can bring us understanding and can helps us love other people for where they’re at. In this episode, we discuss: If you’d like to connect, you can find me on Instagram (@bethhillmancoaching) or go to my website www.bethhillmancoaching.com.

62. How to Unshame the Identified Patient in Your Home With David Bedrick - Part 2

Sending your kid away to treatment often comes with a lot of shame. The shame of not being a good enough parent, not being the person that can help them, and so on. This inner critic shows up in your head and can be incredibly loud, right? I’m continuing my conversation with David Bedrick and we invite you to have a different look at this inner critic and the blame and shame we put on the decisions we’ve made.

60. How to De-escalate Your Teen When It’s “Your Fault”

10/17/2023
But Beth, how can I de-escalate my teen when they’re blaming me for something I’ve actually done? It was one of my clients asking me this the other day. And I know she’s not alone, hearing things like: “My basketball career is ruined because you sent me to treatment” “I’m losing my friends because you don’t allow me to use my phone” And yes, you DID send them to treatment. And you DID take their phone. But does that really mean it’s your fault? (Spoiler alert: often it’s not) In today’s episode, Seth and I discuss how to handle tough situations like this. As you hear in our conversation, we make an important distinction between facts and emotions. Because the fact is, you did send them to treatment. But does that make it your fault that their basketball career is ruined? I don’t think so.

57. The Fear of Independence

9/26/2023
We’re not just responsible for our kids, we’re also responsible for teaching them how to be responsible for themselves. We want to teach our kids how to solve their own problems and be self-reliant and self-governing. I get it. It’s SO hard not to intervene when you see your teen trying to figure something out by themselves, taking the long route, and making mistakes as they go. But if you’re constantly rescuing them to provide that comfort, you’re not teaching them how to problem solve and be resilient in life. In the end, we learn more from our mistakes than from things going right. So let’s have a look at how we can help our kids navigate their own lives!

The tension is building and the situation is starting to escalate from bad to worse. We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

Opening up the conversation helps us create a deeper connection and enables both sides to open up a bit more about what’s going on and their perspective on the situation. “If you have somebody in front of you who is completely dysregulated, you are gonna want to stay regulated as much as you possibly can.” - Beth Hillman Let’s dive into how to do this in today’s episode!

Moments of disagreement are perfectly normal when there are more than one person involved in raising a (struggling) teen. One parent wants to implement a certain boundary, while the other doesn’t.

Before we dive in, it’s important to understand that being on the same page, doesn’t mean you have to agree on every word and every line of that page.
