And to really get in touch with the distress, the anger, the sadness, the fear, whatever those strong emotions are.

I think some of the families I work with spend so much time trying to push that stuff away.

And then the people they've got around them actually collude with that.

You know, where sometimes I think it's really important to go through those strong emotions.

So I think ultimately avoidance ends up being unhelpful.

I mean, I feel like we have been talking about this inherently anyway, but just to think about what from your work you have found are ways to help parents in these situations, what helps and maybe what hinders the process of getting through these curve balls that are thrown to us in life.
