Summary: In this episode Neil responds to a Mom struggling in a Control Battle with her teenagers and her husband. She wants high standards for her kids while her husband thinks it she should back off. Neil explains that control battles can be complex and can be thought of as choreography, and he gives an example of a family pattern that is likely going on with them. He then helps this Mom find a way to change her participation in the pattern and have her expectations taken seriously. Neil challenges listeners to examine the ways they may be dis-empowering themselves and to bring their best selves to their lives. Have a question for Neil?
