• Sharing a Thought: Treatment can make things worse (3 of 3)

  Recent studies have found that several of these programs not only failed to help young people but also made their mental health problems worse. Jenny shares some thoughts about this and links it to the Bowen family system ideas of how focusing on a problem in a person can actually project or amplify that problem. Note: some of the research quoted is discussed in this NY Time article by Darby Saxbe professor of psychology at the University of Southern Californiahttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/opinion/teenagers-mental-health-treatment.html#Here is an example of a study that Jenny refers to in this episode.

• Sharing a Thought: Always more than genetics and brain wiring (2 of 3)

  Jenny reflects on parents' questions about why they would need to be involved in addressing a child’s symptoms if it is from the child’s genetics or brain wiring. Even when genetics plays a part, the research points to the important influence of the child's environment. Parents can impact the environment in many growth-enhancing ways – this is the basis of building parent hope.The book mentioned is: Hudson, J. L., & Rapee, R. M. (Eds.). (2005).

• Sharing a Thought: The problem is not the problem (1 of 3)

  Jenny shares some thoughts on how the way we respond to a concern is more impactful than just focusing on the content of the issue. We can research problems such as sleep or screen time issues, but all this information can add to a parent's intensity—considering the effects of our responses on our children is the place where progress and hope are built.Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletterYoutube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProjectFacebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparentsInstagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/Contact us:[email protected](02) 9904 5600Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: [email protected] (02) 9904 5600
