Listen to learn how different generations approach mental health.
You will learn that connection is the medicine for many physical & mental health challenges.
Knowing how do connect from a place of regulation, not reactivity, is key.
How do you & your family do with that?
Notice with curiosity & compassion (and without judgment) this holiday season...what works well & what results in challenging dynamics &/or behaviors.
Reach out to RESET if you want to grow your own ability & capacity.
Key points in this episode:
- Gen X & Boomers orient to being independent & relate internally & externally with "tough love" ... which leaves deficits that get exposed under stress.
- Millennials & Gen Z have higher rates of mental health challenges & more openness to getting help.
- NOW is a collective opportunity to assess, address, and pivot towards greater mental, physical, & relational health.
- Meeting needs proactively & with attunement in the moment = quality caregiving/relating
- Regulate internally first & from that place provide co-regulation for best results.
- Understand that problematic behaviors/symptoms are our best attempt at communicating needs & is not something to shame/pathologize.
- Know that nervous system activation cannot be met with cognitive/rational/"logical" approaches but rather an emotional/relational/somatic/intuitive response (no matter the age or capacity of the person).
- Coping is not healing; healing is connection. Coping is best for a short term strategy; healing is best for long term outcomes.
