42. What if I Don’t Like My Teen Right Now? - Creating Healthy Thoughts About Your Teen

Parenting Post-Wilderness: Parenting a Struggling Teen Before, During and After Treatment

Every one of us has about 80.000 thoughts each day. Most of our life is created with our minds. And the more we have a specific thought, the more it tends to become a belief. So, what if you’re having negative thoughts about your teen? What if thoughts like ‘I just really don’t like my kid right now’ or ‘I can hardly stand my kid right now’ have crossed your mind? Believe me when I say, you’re not alone. Besides, these are actually very natural thoughts to have in any kind of relationship.
In this episode on creating healthy thoughts, we discuss:

• Where our thoughts come from;
• Do our thoughts define who we are?;
• The most important lesson I have learned about my thoughts;
• Changing your thought patterns about your teen;
• How our thoughts create our feelings;
• And much more!
