Description

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     2:55 - Raising our own tolerance to the discomfort of our partner being "less effective" than we know we could be with our children.   5:55 - Ask yourself: "What if I am actually NOT the only expert on my child and what my partner is giving her is actually what she needs."   6:47 - Can you physically remove yourself (just in the short term) to allow your partner and child to adjust without you becoming triggered?   9:52 - What is the threshold for when you do want to step in and "rescue"?   12:24 - When we always rescue, we may inadvertently communicate to our child (and our partner!) that they aren't capable of parenting properly.     ✨We want to hear from you!
