Kristen Craren, MEd, LPC, EMDR, Clinical Director of Archway Therapy joins me for another episode... To say family dynamics have been strained lately would be a vast understatement for many of us. Craren runs a family counseling practice. She's going to help us get clear about the challenges we're all facing and share tips for helping our families navigate these difficult times.

We'll discuss:
👉the different ways people are reacting to the traumatic experience of a global pandemic
👉how to create a support system (even with social distance)
👉ways to approach difficult conversations and make peace with gridlock topics
👉how empathy factors into healthy communication
👉what Crarer refers to as "curious questioning" for approaching difficult conversations
👉how to be an active listener (and how to apply that as a parent)
👉how to help kids navigate technology and media
