Dear Parents,
Here is another example of how The Unique Inside/Out Parenting Approach™ could work for you. A Mom in the program was having difficulties setting boundaries with her adult son. She was enabling him to maintain an unhealthy lifestyle. Although she knew that she was part of the problem, she found herself unable to set boundaries with him.
Through the Inside/Out Parenting Approach™, we explored further into her past experiences to understand her beliefs about setting boundaries. We learned that she had suffered from being separated from her parents at an early age, and she had difficulty setting boundaries that felt like she was separating herself from her adult son. We talked about various courses of action, one of which was "nurture yourself". At this time in Mom's evolution, that was the only action that resonated with her. So she nurtured herself, in various capacities. And she did so for several months.
The approach involves working with you, right where you are. The approach involves giving you, the parent, what you need first. You are in the best position to nurture your family when your cup is full. Then you will have the strength and the energy to take the next step.
In our Mom's case, she did eventually move to the next step and starting the long hard journey of setting the necessary boundaries.
To Your Family,
Jane Cabrera
