📚Book Spotlight - Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents by Jane Isay 📚

If you’ve ever felt a subtle tension in your relationship with your grown kids — maybe they don’t call as often as you’d hoped, or you worry that you’re overstepping — Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents by Jane Isay is a truly compassionate guide. Using real interviews with people aged 25–70, Isay shows how both generations long for connection, yet struggle to bridge the gaps.

Isay’s warmth and wisdom offer practical tools to:
▪️Help parents respect their adult children’s autonomy without feeling left behind.
▪️Help grown children express themselves honestly, even when they worry about disappointing or hurting their parents.
▪️Build a healthier, more balanced bond over time — not by pretending problems don’t exist, but by listening, setting boundaries, and staying emotionally open.

Reading this book is a great first step — but real change more often happens in conversation. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed in your family relationships, consider reaching out to a professional.

Counseling provides a safe space to:
▪️Practice communication skills.
▪️Safely explore old wounds and generational patterns.
▪️Build healthier expectations and boundaries.

At Crossroads Counseling, family therapy creates a safe space for parents and adult children to slow down, truly hear one another, and work through the hurt that’s built up over the years. Using approaches like Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, sessions help families break unhealthy cycles, strengthen emotional bonds, and rebuild trust with compassion and clarity.

📣 Blog Post - Coping With Relationship Strains During the Holidays 📣

Holiday season can be magical—but when it comes to relationships, it's also common to feel the squeeze of extra stress, shifting expectations, and the pressure to be perfect. In our blog post, “Coping With Relationship Strains During the Holidays”, we explore how things like family dynamics, packed schedules, and financial pressure can unexpectedly shake the strongest of bonds.

Here are some ways to help with the holiday stress and stay connected:

🗣Sit down together before the rush and talk about what you both want this year—not just what you feel you should do.

🚧Set boundaries compassionately: skipping one gathering can protect your peace and your connection.

🧘Don’t let the little annoyances pile up—take a moment, breathe, and remember: you’re in this together.

👩‍❤️‍👨Most importantly: make space for just the two of you. Even a shared walk or quiet movie night can reset the tone.

If you’re feeling like holiday tension is becoming a pattern—not just a once-in-a-while hiccup—the blog post reminds us that letting go of perfection, reconnecting as a team, and reaching out for help are all powerful moves.

At Crossroads Counseling, we’re here to support couples who want to move through the holidays (and beyond) with deeper understanding and stronger connection. Whether you’re aiming to strengthen your relationship or want a safe space to explore recurring challenges, we’d be honored to walk alongside you.

📣 Blog Post - How Does Trauma Affect The Brain? 📣

Have you ever wondered how trauma really affects the brain? In the blog post, How Does Trauma affect the Brain? we take a look at the impact and how it goes far deeper than we might realize.

Areas of the brain that are impacted include:
🧠The Amygdala — our emotional alarm system — can get stuck in “fight-or-flight” mode, keeping us on edge even after the danger is gone.

🧠The Hippocampus — key for memory and learning — may shrink under prolonged stress, making it harder to process what happened or integrate it into our history.

🧠The Prefrontal Cortex — the “rational thinking” part of the brain — can fail to calm the amygdala, leaving us feeling constantly threatened when we’re actually safe.

The good news? Thanks to the brain’s neuroplasticity, healing is possible. Trauma doesn’t have to define your brain’s future.

If you’ve experienced something traumatic and find yourself stuck in anxiety, hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, or just can’t seem to relax or move forward — know this: you are not alone, and your brain can heal.

At Crossroads Counseling we offer compassionate, expert trauma therapy in North Phoenix/Anthem, Scottsdale and virtually across Arizona. Whether you’re just getting started or have tried therapy before and felt stuck, we can help you reclaim safety, calm, and clarity.

📚 Book Spotlight : Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D.

Have you picked up Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. yet? This remarkable read turns our assumptions about adolescence on their head — showing that the “storm” of teen years isn’t simply chaos to endure, but a powerful period of brain growth, identity emergence, and creative potential.

If you’re parenting, teaching, or just walking alongside a teenager, this book offers hope and insight. It invites you to shift from “How can I fix this teenager?” to “How can I connect with the brain-in-progress behind that teenager?”

Of course, knowing and understanding don’t always make the rollercoaster smoother. If you or a teen in your life are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to navigate these changes, it might be time to reach out for support.

Our team at Crossroads Counseling offers specialized teen-counseling services for families navigating adolescence in North Phoenix/Anthem, Scottsdale and online throughout Arizona.

📣 Blog Post: Inside the Teen Brain: How it Differs From Adults

Ever wonder why your teen acts on impulse, takes risks, or swings between moods? It’s not just “teen drama”—it’s brain development in action. The teenage brain is still under construction, especially the prefrontal cortex, the area that manages decision-making, planning, and impulse control.

Because this part is still developing, teens often respond more emotionally and may struggle to think through long-term consequences. But there’s good news: the teen brain is also incredibly flexible and ready to grow. This is a prime time for learning new skills, building resilience, and forming healthy habits that last into adulthood.

Understanding these brain differences can help parents respond with more patience and empathy—transforming conflict into connection.

At Crossroads Counseling, our teen-focused therapists help families navigate these challenging yet transformative years with compassion and insight. We offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if counseling could help your teen thrive.

"When we become parents we are given an incredible opportunity to grow as individuals because we ourselves are put back into an intimate parent-child relationship, this time in a different role." - Dan J. Siegel, MD

Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging. It would be very nice and convenient if your child came with an instruction manual to help you parent them. Since this is not the case, you as a parent need a roadmap to help you navigate raising your children. John Bowlby, the pioneer of attachment theory, who realized how we all need a safe and secure bond with another from the cradle to the grave provided us one of the most helpful parenting roadmaps. John along with his colleague, Mary Ainsworth, developed attachment theory, attachment parenting, and the concept of attachment styles or strategies. Attachment helps parents to understand the importance meeting a child’s emotional needs as this an important dynamic in a child’s overall development as a human being.

At Crossroads Counseling, we offer attachment-based parenting counseling to help you navigate these challenges and strengthen your bond with your child. Our experienced therapists provide a safe space to explore effective parenting strategies, improve communication, and foster a secure parent-child relationship.

📣 Blog Post: Mindful Approaches for Parents During Tantrums

Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual—especially when your sweet child suddenly turns into a mini hurricane with a tantrum. If you’ve found yourself feeling overwhelmed, moved by frustration, or just plain drained when those meltdowns hit, you’re not alone.

In this blog post “Mindful Approaches for Parents During Tantrums,” we share some powerful reminders to help you get through it:

🧘‍♀️Stay calm. Taking a few deep breaths and giving yourself a moment of pause helps you stay present instead of spiraling into a reaction.

🗣Express your feelings. It’s okay to say you’re frustrated or sad—letting your child see that emotions don’t have to control us is a lesson in and of itself.

🧠Use mindfulness. Teaching your child & practicing together — whether it’s breathing, a short pause, or just noticing thoughts — helps them regulate emotions and feel safe.

If tantrums are feeling less like “just a phase” and more like a daily wrestling match— you don’t have to go it alone. Crossroads Counseling offers supportive, individualized help for parenting, families, and emotional regulation. Whether you’re navigating explosions, sibling stress, or you’re just wanting to feel calmer and more connected—it might be time to reach out for counseling.

You’ve got this—and with a little help, you might just find your calm before the storm.
