Dan opens the show with a parenting tip on how to successfully praise our sensitive teenagers. He then moves on to define and discuss the effect of “Small T” traumas on our teenagers and young adults. This leads into the main interview with therapist/trauma specialist, Hanika Foster, who expands on how to support our teens when they encounter Small T’s and how our unprocessed trauma can impact our parenting. Hanika also discusses her treatment specialty, EMDR, as a means of successfully reprocessing trauma. Dan wraps up with a quick debrief of the interview including a quick discussion about supporting our children’s dreams (a little off topic but I got inspired).
