[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way I would be listening to all this drama from a parent as much as it sounds like you are. Of course you need boundaries. You also might want to look into SPACE to see if you are helping or hurting your kids’ journeys with their own anxieties.[/quote] Sometimes it helps just to just put her on speakerphone while I do chores or go for a walk. She likes it better when I don't respond or say anything at all, so I don't even have to talk back to her. But the sessions are usually at least an hour long, so it is time intensive.[/quote] With my kids, I do it a little differently. I might just reflect back everything they say. Empathize ("that sounds really frustrating...") a bit. Be physically close to them while they lash out.[/quote]
