True Relaxation Isn’t What You Think

Most of us think we’re relaxing when we’re watching TV, scrolling on our phones, or zoning out to a show. But here’s the truth - that’s not actual relaxation.

If your brain is still processing high stimulation, loud noise, or emotional input, your nervous system is still active. That means your body isn't getting the restoration it needs.

Real relaxation happens when your mind and body are both calm - no arousal, no adrenaline, no background noise. It’s in those quiet moments of stillness, breath, and presence that your system gets to reset.

This might feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable at first. That’s normal. But it’s one of the most powerful shifts you can make for your mental and physical health.

Why Your Teen “Loses It” at Home

If your teen seems respectful out in the world but explodes the minute they walk through the front door - I want you to know it’s not about you.

It’s about how their brain works. All day long, they’re navigating intense emotional, social, and academic pressure with a brain that’s still developing. They’re trying to manage it all with immature coping tools - what I often describe as an incomplete deck of cards.

So when they get home, they exhale. They drop the mask. And sometimes that looks like shutting down or lashing out.

Your job isn’t to fix it. It’s to hold space, model calm, and help them build the skills they don’t yet have.
