43. From ‘the Younger Sibling’ to Wilderness Guide With Mark Adamski

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

Being the sibling of a teen that’s struggling and goes to treatment isn’t easy. Mark Adamski, who is now a wilderness guide himself, experienced this first-hand. In today’s episode, he shares his experiences when his brother went to treatment for substance abuse and how this eventually led Mark to become a wilderness guide.

Mark is sharing his story of becoming a wilderness guide and shares some golden nuggets we need in order to understand our teen. Have a listen!

In this episode on going from being the younger sibling to wilderness guide, we discuss:

• The driving factors behind Mark becoming a wilderness guide;
• His experiences as ‘the younger sibling’;
• Understanding our teen’s brain to de-escalate;
• How the people around us influence us.
