— TOOL OF THE WEEK —

💛The DEAR MAN Skill 💛

A simple DBT tool for asking for what you need — and actually being heard.

Most of us were never taught how to communicate in a way that feels calm, clear, and confident. This skill changes that. It works in partnerships, with your kids, at work — anywhere a hard conversation lives.

Try it the next time you feel stuck or unheard:

1️⃣ D — Describe. Stick to the facts. No blame, no story.

2️⃣ E — Express. Name the feeling behind the words.

3️⃣ A — Assert. Ask for what you need. Directly.

4️⃣ R — Reinforce. Explain why it matters to you.

5️⃣ M — Mindful. Stay on topic. Old arguments can wait.

6️⃣ A — Appear Confident. Tone carries more than you think.

7️⃣ N — Negotiate. Be willing to find the middle ground.

Start with something low-stakes. The habit you build in easy moments is the one that shows up when it really counts. 🌿

Does your teen struggle with how they see themselves? 💛

Body image challenges in teens are more common than most parents realize — and they go far deeper than just appearance. They show up as anxiety around food, avoiding social situations, negative self-talk, and a constant feeling of not being enough.

As a parent, it can feel helpless to watch. But there is something that genuinely helps.

Our therapists work with teens to:

✨ Build a healthier relationship with their body and self-image
✨ Manage the emotions that drive negative self-talk
✨ Develop self-worth that isn't tied to appearance
✨ Navigate peer pressure and social comparison
✨ Find balance between accepting themselves and growing

This National Nutrition Month, we're reminding parents and teens alike — nourishment isn't just about food. It's about how your teen feels in their own skin every single day.

Your teen deserves to feel at home in their body. And we can help.

👉 Call us today or book a free 10-minute consultation— because every teen deserves to feel good enough, exactly as they are. 💛

— TOOL OF THE WEEK —

💛The Body Gratitude Reframe 💛

This is a simple DBT-informed exercise you can introduce to your teen — or try yourself. It takes about five minutes and works best as a journaling prompt or dinner-table conversation starter.

Instead of asking: "What does my body look like?"

Try asking: "What did my body do for me today?"

Explore these prompts:

1️⃣ What is one thing your body allowed you to do today that you're grateful for?
2️⃣ What is one physical sensation you noticed today that felt good — however small?
3️⃣ If your body could tell you what it needs right now, what would it say?

This isn't toxic positivity — it's redirection. It trains the brain to experience the body as an ally rather than an obstacle.

Try it for a week and notice what shifts. It's a small practice with surprisingly meaningful results. 🌿

They bring that same grit and compassion to everything they do — and 13.1 miles was no exception.

🔄 Tool of the Week: The "Opposite Action" Practice

When our kids struggle with low self-esteem or social anxiety, their brain’s first instinct is often avoidance. 🛑 It tells them: "Don't raise your hand," "Don't join that table," or "Don't try out for the team."

The problem? Avoidance keeps them stuck. Every time they avoid, the anxiety grows stronger.

This week, try teaching them the DBT skill: Opposite Action. When anxiety tells them to pull away, we help them gently lean in. 🤝

How to practice it with your child:

1️⃣ Identify the Urge: Help them put words to the feeling. "I don't want to go to the party because I'm afraid no one will talk to me."
2️⃣ Name the Emotion: Is it fear? Shame? Embarrassment?
3️⃣ Check the Facts: Ask, "Is this fear based on a real danger right now, or a 'what if' about the future?"
4️⃣ Do the Opposite (Gently): Don't jump into the deep end! Start small. If raising a hand in class is too scary, start by staying after to ask the teacher one question.
5️⃣ Notice the Result: Did the "scary thing" happen? Usually, it doesn't. And even if it does, they learn a powerful lesson: They can survive it.

Helping our kids approach their fears gradually is how we build true, lasting confidence. 🌟
