Edit Your Life Episode 45: Letting Go Of The Hero Role
It’s common for one person to assume the role of family problem solver, but this means that things can get complicated and stressful when that person is unavailable to problem solve. Inspired by a listener letter, in Episode 45 Asha and I discuss the benefits of kids experiencing discomfort and how stepping back and letting go of the hero role can benefit the entire family system.
