  • As parents in the modern age; we want to undo a lot of the things that didn’t serve us as children and sometimes in our attempts to do better we can swing completely in the other direction and over-validate our children and enable undesired behaviors rather than encourage positive ones. I welcome Zack Kasabo who is a certified school counselor and parent coach. 

    We discuss: 

    What enabling of behaviors actually means 

    Why children are learning “learned helplessness” 

    What corrective validation is and how to use it

  • May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in honor of my advocacy for more open conversation surrounding Mental health, I will be featuring episodes on ways to take care of our mental health so we can better care for ourselves and our children. Therapy is highly beneficial, and various modalities are used. EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to help in processing traumatic events and changing negative patterns and helping people with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and OCD. I personally started EMDR earlier this year, and in honor of Maternal Mental Health Month, I invited Dr. Cassidy Freitas, who is a licensed marriage and family therapist who also does EMDR. 

    We discuss: 

    What EMDR is and the steps of EMDR

    Who would be a good candidate 

    Examples of how EMDR helped me and Dr. Cassidy 


    For more resources on EMDR: EMDR Institute, Psychologytoday.com, and EMDRIA.
