🌱 Teens and Boundaries: It’s Not About Control—It’s About Connection 💬

Ever feel like setting boundaries with your teen is a losing battle? You’re not alone—and it’s not hopeless. 💛

Boundaries aren’t about being strict or having all the answers. They’re about building trust, keeping communication open, and teaching your teen how to stay safe and stay connected.

In this new blog post, I’m sharing everyday ways to create meaningful boundaries that actually work (and grow!) with your teen. From flexible curfews to emotional safety plans, these are tools that help you and your teenager navigate challenging moments together.

✨ Learn how to:
✔️ Set everyday boundaries that support connection
✔️ Stay flexible as your teen changes (because, wow, they change fast)
✔️ Create safety plans for when things go way off track
✔️ Model the boundaries you want them to carry into adulthood

🎭 Rewriting the Script: Healing Family Stories That Hurt

Do you ever hear yourself saying something to your teen and think,
"That's not how I wanted that to come out…"
Or maybe you grew up with messages like:
🗣️ “You’re too sensitive."
🗣️ “You always mess things up."
🗣️ “Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about."

These stories live on in our homes, unless we learn to rewrite them.

💛 In today’s post, I walk you through how Narrative Family Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy can help parents:
✔️ Change harmful family scripts
✔️ Respond to big emotions without shutting down
✔️ Repair when reactions are overwhelming
✔️ Build emotional safety with simple, daily tools

✨ You’ll also get examples of what to say instead and how to pause, reflect, and reconnect even during challenging conversations.

🧠 This post is for parents who want to raise emotionally secure, self-aware kids without repeating what they grew up with.

📝 NEW on the blog: What Is Narrative Family Therapy?
✨ And why it’s so powerful for teens and families

Have you ever felt like your teen has been labeled “too much,” “not enough,” or “the problem”?
Perhaps you have carried that story too.

Narrative Family Therapy helps families rewrite those labels. Instead of asking “What’s wrong with them?” we ask:
👉 “What story is shaping how we see ourselves?”
👉 “What role is anxiety, anger, or disconnection playing in our family?”
👉 “How can we reauthor this together?”

💬 Real family examples
🛠️ Practical tools you can try today
💛 A reminder that your teen is not their diagnosis, attitude, or behavior—and neither are you!

🌱 Your Teen Isn’t Pushing You Away—They’re Learning to Hold Space for Themselves.

When teens start setting boundaries, it can feel like slamming doors, silence, or sudden distance. But beneath that is something beautiful: they’re learning to protect their emotional space.

💬 “Please knock first.”
💬 “I don’t want to talk about it right now.”
💬 “I need a break.”

These aren’t signs of disrespect—they’re the growing roots of self-awareness. And when we respond with curiosity instead of control, we show them that connection doesn’t disappear when things get hard—it deepens.

✨ In my latest blog post, I share 10 ways to support your teen’s boundaries without losing emotional connection, using tools from Emotionally Focused, Attachment-Based, and Narrative Therapies.

When family roles shift, it can feel like the ground is moving beneath your feet.

Maybe the child who once told you everything is now setting boundaries.
Maybe your teen is questioning things your family has always believed.
Maybe you’re wondering, “Where did my easy relationship go?”

The truth is—your teen is growing, and growth often looks like distance, tension, or silence. But it’s not rejection. It’s development.

I help families reconnect during these big transitions.
Using attachment-based and emotionally focused therapy, I work with teens and their caregivers to rebuild trust, create emotional safety, and reimagine what closeness looks like as your teens become more fully themselves.

It doesn't have to stay that way if your home feels full of misunderstandings, silent dinners, or emotional shutdowns.
Let’s find a new path forward.
