Sarah #34: The Sarah Whisperer: (Re)Parenting With Natural Consequences","description":" Doug introduces the concept of natural consequences to Sarah as opposed to being judge and jury as a parent, even if the punishment fits the crime. Sarah acknowledges that she is not failing as a parent; rather, she is growing as a parent. She points out that her growth is carrying over to other aspects of her life. Sarah calls Doug \u201cthe Sarah whisperer,\u201d and Doug turns this around and reminds her that she is the one whispering to herself and growing. She is, in effect, actively re-parenting herself \u2013 and we hear it happening in this session. In the breakdown, Doug and Kenzie talk about how to know which direction to take a client during a session, especially when there are moments with multiple possibilities to process. Therapy is like a \u2018Choose Your Own Adventure\u2019 book \u2013 if only real life let us peek ahead at the options before choosing!    Doug\u2019s Group Practice YMB Webpage   Join Us on Social Media:  YMB The Facebook Group YMB on Instagram YMB on TikTok Mentioned in this Episode:  Choose Your Own Adventure books:   https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure    https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2022\/09\/19\/the-enduring-allure-of-choose-your-own-adventure-books ","author_name":"Your Mental Breakdown","author_url":"http:\/\/www.yourmentalbreakdown.com","html":"
