On Navigating the Abyss: Parenting Alchemy for Kids in Crisis
Teri Potter and Catherine Borgman-Arboleda are both Conscious Parenting coaches and mothers that have had difficult journeys supporting their adolescent daughters through mental health and substance misuse struggles. They candidly discuss their own experiences, the inner work that has helped them to find peace, freedom and the ability to draw on deeper sources of wisdom that they initially weren't aware of. They draw from the work of Dr. Shefali Tsabary and Dr, Gabor Maté, who they have trained with, as well as many of the great wisdom teachers. Their aim is bring a new lens for parenting struggling kids, and provide concrete approaches and tools to support parents in making internal shifts that will in turn contribute to their ability to engage with, and guide, their young people.
