Are you stuck in negative parenting dynamics with your teen? Have you become over-involved with your child? When your child struggles socially, emotionally, behaviorally, or academically, do you feel you need to step in to fix, solve, manage and smooth over? Do you work harder that your child? Do you take responsibility for your child’s emotions and problems? Is your child easily dysregulated and are you on eggshells around your child’s moods and emotions? Is your child struggling to mature and take ownership of their choices?
Are you ready to Reset your home structure, learn how to set secure boundaries, and how to respond differently to your teen or young adult? Do you want to learn how to set up a safety container to help your child regulate? Do you want to have a felt experience of how to show up and hold boundaries with your preteen, teen or young adult? Do you want to step back into your safe parental authority?
In this workshop, parents will learn The Parallel Process skills to identify, understand, learn the tools to transform their negative relationship patterns with their child. Parents will identify how enmeshment may be playing out in their parent-child relationship. Parents will learn how to set choice-based boundaries and how to hold their children accountable, and at the same time improve their relationship with their teen. Participants will learn new communication skills that will be integrated through learning new dialogues, role-plays, attunement to feelings, boundary setting and a stronger awareness of parent-child differentiation. Attendees will have a greater awareness of parent-child enmeshment and how it can interfere with boundary setting and their children’s emotional skill development.
Ready to Reset Your Home?
Join this workshop to:
Learn how to set secure boundaries effectively
Gain skills to confidently engage with your teen and reclaim your parental authority.
Parents will:
Identify and transform negative and enmeshed relationship patterns.
Master choice-based boundaries with accountability
Learn to set a home container to help your child regulate
Develop new communication skills using dialogues, role-plays, and emotional attunement.
By understanding parent-child enmeshment, participants will see how it undermines boundary setting and emotional development. When parents build in structure and accountability it leads to a more peaceful home environment without the need for yelling or over-managing.

Workshop Testimonials
“I found Krissy to be prepared, engaging and she shared knowledge in a warm and easy-going way. The workshop was surprisingly worthwhile.”
“The Parallel Process Skills are important, life changing, achievable, and the key to peace in our home. So far I have tried attuning to myself, my child, setting boundaries & consequences, & valuing struggle. My husband and I have a 14 year old boy in treatment. We have committed to the PP and are trying out our new skills on our 16 year old son. It is going well so far. We implemented a tech agreement and have been holding him accountable when he breaks it. He broke it several times in the first couple of weeks. He is in shock because we have been holding the line. He is used to us not following through. The good news is he's not really that mad at us. I think he's upset with himself. It's working.”
“The skills taught in Setting Secure Boundaries Workshop were targeted and useful, very appropriate, practical and the perfect level of detail. Exactly what I needed, as I struggle with setting boundaries.”
“The workshop's greatest strength was Krissy and her stories, Her knowledge and understanding, clearly communicated, and was informative, relatable, clear, and kind. Krissy is an incredible listener so she knew how to direct all the teaching.”
“As a parent it seems so straightforward, and yet there were so many of these things we weren't doing. We were stuck and these skills are really helping us as a family.”
