As we get older, we physically and mentally change. There are numerous resources available for new parents as they start to understand the joys (both literally and figuratively) of their newborn, which includes their behaviors. Unfortunately, the prevalence or understanding of aging parents/grandparents/other close relatives and friends is not widely as available, causing misunderstandings of what it means to effectively communicate and engage with them in a healthy manner. Today's guest and owner of the One-Eighty technique, Edla Prevette, discusses her journey of being a mental health counselor and passionately helping her clients to understand the importance of reframing and engaging with these types of conversations and directions in a different way, and filling the gap in this realm that exists. Through today's interview, learn how to become more engaging and constructive, instead of resistant to this phase we all go through, in a more meaningful, productive way.
