[quote=Anonymous]validation is so hard to do and can be frustrating on both ends. We have found DBT and spend TONS of time on validation. The kids hate it because instead of trying to make things better, you as parent are leaning into their frustration and validating it but not fixing it for them and forcing them to want to discuss solutions which is not an easy thing for kids to do. Often times for us as parents we get stuck in a loop because before we would just find a way to fix it to stop the chaos now we just stay in a play of uncomfortable and have to walk away until our teen is ready to discuss more. It is HARD, but I will say that forcing everyone to be uncomfortable for a longer duration actually is making things better. Its been less than a year but we see small steps happening and our DD was in a VERY dark and bad place Good luck finding a good DBT therapist. We are so thankful for having found our team.[/quote]
