Theresa Alexander Inman welcomes guest Oksana Yusupova, a registered psychotherapist from Canada, to discuss the importance of understanding and managing emotions, particularly anger, in children. Oksana shares her insights on emotional focused therapy, emphasizing the significance of approaching children's emotions such as excitement and anger without resorting to yelling or making threats. Highlighting the concept that emotions act as signals that require attention, rather than being suppressed, she provides practical strategies for parents. These strategies include developing self-awareness about one's emotions, validation and mirroring children's feelings, and collaborating with children to find solutions to emotional outbursts. The episode delves deeply into the stages and triggers of anger, offering advice on how parents can help their children recognize and deal with this complex emotion effectively. Oksana underlines the idea that emotions, including anger, are essential to understanding oneself and encourages open discussions about emotions between parents and their children.
