    Moving from the Paralyzed Process to the Parallel Process with Krissy Pozatek

    When parents become afraid of their children’s emotions, authority collapses, and kids feel less safe, not more. In this episode of The Reframe, therapeutic consultant Douglas Bodin speaks with Krissy Pozatek, parent coach and author of The Parallel Process, about how today’s overly permissive parenting has created what she calls the “paralyzed process.” Drawing from her work with families and teens in treatment, Krissy explores how fear, enmeshment, and a lack of clear boundaries are fueling emotional shutdown, avoidance, and stagnation in kids. She offers a path forward through what she calls the parallel process, where parents reclaim calm authority, implement phase-based structure at home, and create the emotional containment kids need to thrive. Whether you're a parent or clinician, this episode offers practical tools and mindset shifts to foster resilience and restore balance in the family dynamic. Tune in to find out how you can move from fear-based parenting to a more empowered, parallel process! Key Points From This Episode: Insight into the “paralyzed process” of parenting.Ways that permissiveness erodes safety and stability for teens.Reasons that parents need to reclaim kind, firm, calm authority.What can happen when diagnoses become a child’s identity.The rise of enmeshment and learned helplessness.Why your child isn’t responsible for your feelings.Bringing the best of wilderness and experiential therapy into real-world routines.Using structure and phase-based contracts to re-establish authority.Shifting from horizontal parenting to clear guardianship.Distinguishing when behavior is “just a phase” and when intervention is needed.Stepping off eggshells by recognizing when fear gives your child too much control.Balancing connection and boundaries: centering the relationship without losing structure.Applying these approaches to neurodivergent kids, managing the impact of gaming and social media, and encouraging resilience through discomfort.

    Agency and Consequences: The Keys to Growing Up with Dr. Paul Marcille

    Are we raising young people who can handle adulthood, or are we unintentionally holding them back?

    The Risk of Playing It Safe with Kellyn Smythe

    Playing it safe is often the go-to move for guardians trying desperately to protect their kids, but this may prove to be a bigger risk than giving them the tools to cope with life’s inevitable challenges. In today’s episode, Dr. Heather Tracy dons the host’s chair and welcomes Kellyn Smythe, the director of admissions at Pacific Quest, to unpack the risks of playing it safe with the emotional well-being of the children we care for. We begin with how the youth landscape has evolved in recent decades, how to cultivate resilience in our kids but in a gentler way, how to rebuild our collective societal trust, and how to improve mental health treatments and protocols for our youth. Then, Kellyn, who also serves on the boards of the Therapeutic Consulting Association (TCA) and the Young Adult Transition Association (YATA), goes on to unpack the work of Pacific Quest and how the company is playing its part for the emotional wellbeing of its youth, before detailing what parents are most concerned with now compared to 10 and 20 years ago. We also examine the reasons behind youth behavior, how this knowledge helps us to be better guardians, the innate recklessness of youth, and how we can address the negative aspects of American culture and society’s influence on our kids. Finally, we assess how the current insurance landscape places even more pressure on our youth, and Kellyn shares his hopes and dreams for the future of the youth mental health industry.
