Four Counterintuitive Things To Do When You're Overwhelmed By Your Child's Substance Use or Emotional Challenges with Brenda Zane

ABOUT THE EPISODE:I hear it all the time as I work with parents of kids who are struggling with substance use or emotional and behavioral issues, "I'm so overwhelmed and exhausted!" They're also living with extreme fear, especially when substance use is the issue.In this solo episode, I share four counterintuitive things that can help when you get to the point where you don't know what to do and are paralyzed and feeling helpless.  Getting yourself unstuck and encouraged is an important part of helping your son or daughter, so take a short break, dog walk or drive around the neighborhood and soak up some love and hope from today's show.This episode is supported by The Stream, an online, pay-what-you-can membership where moms who have kids struggling with substance use focus on their own health, wellness, and sanity - with no judgment, and no distraction because it’s not on Facebook.  If you’d like to hang out with me and a bunch of cool moms after the episodes, you can learn more and join us at www.thestreamcommunity.com.
