Quotes:

“We are speaking to every adult with an adult child who is in a bad place. And the adults need to be needed, are coming in to rescue and to enable some really bad behavior. because they don't want to see them suffer or struggle, right? And we do more harm than good, don't we, by continuing to come in and rescue, and we provide temporary relief, but no long-term gain.  (14:03 | Linda Hutchinson)

“We learn from natural consequences, right? And the only way to do that is rather than rescue, be a coach and step back. Don't try to take over and you can still be supportive and help.” (20:50 | Meredith Scudder)

“Just because you've had trauma doesn't mean you have to stay in drama.” (25:45 | Linda Hutchinson)

“Being able to be aware of the drama triangle roles and how we are feeding into that is so important. And just like anything, until we can see where there needs to be change, we're not going to be able to make change. ” (29:14 Meredith Scudder) Videogram
