The Berry Breakdown - Tips for Listening In and Listening Out

Send us Fan MailThank you so much for being here!! It wasn’t about the berries! In this episode of Reframing Me, we explore how small, everyday moments—like an almost missed berry picking trip—can trigger deeper emotional responses in parents of teens. Grounded in Family Systems Theory, Relational Dialectics Theory, and Metaphor Theory, this episode explains how family rituals carry symbolic meaning, and how their disruption can signal emotional shifts in family dynamics. We discuss strategies for navigating these transitions, improving emotional awareness, and supporting both ourselves and our teens as roles and relationships evolve. Includes five practical tips for processing emotional spirals and reframing connection during periods of change.Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.
