Episode 5. Grief and Radical Acceptance as a Parent of a PDA child, teen/ Podcast / At Peace Parents

This episode is a mix between a pep talk and some gently delivered tough love for parents of PDA children and teens, to get you unstuck, help you feel less alone, and realize that it's all gonna be OK. I discuss the stages of grief, bargaining, and acceptance, and share examples from my own journey to illustrate and normalize the experience that parents go through. This was originally a part of a Q+A session of the Paradigm Shift Program. ✸Social media Instagram:   / atpeaceparents   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atpeaceparent...
