Going back to old patterns is part of the process.
In a perfect world, we’d change our behavior and never make the same mistake again. And so would our struggling teens. But perfection doesn’t exist, and there’s no such thing as a magic switch that makes everything work out perfectly all of a sudden.
I know how hard it is to experience a setback yourself or see your teen go through it. But one thing that Seth and I would like you to walk away with today, is that a setback doesn’t mean failure.
Whether we’re talking about setbacks in communication, substance abuse, coping skills, healthy behavior, or holding healthy boundaries, when we get sidetracked, we often feel like we have to start from scratch again. We think we have completely failed and beat ourselves up. Sometimes it even leads us to give up entirely.
But you’re not starting over. You still have all the experience and work you’ve done before. And you have the opportunity to learn, to reorient yourself back to the path you want to be on in order to move forward.
Let’s dive into today’s episode on how to keep going after a setback, and learn more about:
- How setbacks are part of the process;
- How a setback doesn’t mean you’re starting from scratch;
- The feeling of discouragement and just wanting to give up sometimes;
- Supporting your teen in getting back on track after a setback;
- Honouring the process of change;
- Keeping your boundaries steady while supporting someone in experiencing a setback;
- And more!
