In today's episode I talk to co-founder of Not Therapy Coaching, Hayley Caddes (you may recall episodes 168 and 169 that I spoke to her co-founder, Colin MacDonald)

Hayley, like Colin, is a former "troubled teen" and together they coach teens and young adults through the same trials and struggles they had as teens.

Hear Hayley talk about what it's like as a teenager coming out of treatment, the mindset shift you need to make, and the actions you need to take to help them be successful.

Some of us are just less aware of our emotions and less able to manage them well. I'm raising my own hand here!

In this episode I "coach" a mom through her emotional dysregulation and try to bring more awareness to where it's coming from so she can manage it better.

Today's episode wraps up the series on teen substance use and is a continuation from last week's episode on the methods discussed in the book, Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change.

If your teen or tween is using substances and you want to know how to best motivate them to change their behavior, this episode and last week's episode 183 is for you.

Today I'll discuss the importance of collaborating with your co-parent, using positive reinforcement to see the behavior you want to see and natural and negative consequences to discourage the substance using behavior you don't want to see.

What the heck is going on down at the convenience store or corner vape shop? They're selling something that looks a whole lot like marijuana, cannabis, or weed. And this stuff (otherwise known as "gas station weed") can get people even higher than the marijuana sold at the legal dispensaries that contain the high-producing, delta-9 THC.

Even worse, this stuff is being sold legally to teens in many states! What is it? It's delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, HHC, THCA, THCO and other chemically extracted hemp derivatives, which are mostly unregulated (and contain no telling what).

I'll explain what these substances are, where they come from, how they're legal and what you should do if you find your teen is smoking it or "real marijuana".

It's such a frightening thought; "Does my teen or tween have a substance use disorder? Is this more than occasional use or experimentation?"

How are you supposed to know when your teenager has crossed that line? Who can help you determine if their substance use rises to the level of an "addiction"?

Today I'll clarify some terminology, tell you how to figure these things out and help you understand what level of care your teen might potentially need, if they do indeed have a substance use disorder.

Fentanyl is still a danger to teens and tweens and now there are even other chemicals being thrown in the mix of counterfeit pills that could be even deadlier. However, some expert are saying that it appears there may be less fentanyl in the supply chain in recent months.

Additionally, although overall illicit drug use among teens has been decreasing for years, opioid use disorder among adolescents has greatly increased (according to the American Academy of Pediatrics).

I'll walk you through the latest information in today's episode.
