113. When Your Teen Says All the Right Things but Their Actions Say Otherwise

  • Summary

  • Your teen appears calm and composed with their therapist but displays anger or aggression at home, how frustrating!? It feels like you're dealing with two completely different versions of the same person.

    In this episode, Seth and I explore the challenge of handling teens who have been through enough therapy to know exactly what to say to 'work the system.' While their providers see one side, you as a parent experience something entirely different. We’ll talk about how to navigate these mixed signals, how actions often speak louder than words, and how you can open up this conversation with your teen. Have a listen!

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Teens showing different behaviors at home vs. in therapy;
    • The frustration parents feel when their child “works the system.”;
    • Actions as a more accurate reflection of what's really happening;
    • Opening the conversation between your teen, their therapist, and you;
    • Why your teen might feel the need to present themselves differently with their providers;
    • And more!
