Today's guest, Kristin MacDermott is a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and creator of The MacDermott Method with over a decade of research in resilience. Her resilience training curriculum has been validated in four studies with researchers from The Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in peer-reviewed journals, and proven to promote clinically-significant improvement in distress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and self-efficacy.
Kristin MacDermott shares three crucial insights every father needs to hear:
- The single most important thing dads can do to support their teen's mental health.
- The #1 complaint she hears from teens about their parents.
- How to create a relationship where your teen doesn't feel the need to lie to you.
Kristin MacDermott's passion is reconnecting parents and teens, and her methods are backed by rigorous research.
Here's what evidence supports her approach:
- Studies show that strong parent-teen relationships are correlated with a 40% reduction in teen depression and anxiety.
- Effective communication skills training for parents leads to a 30% decrease in risky behavior among teens.
- Teens who perceive their parents as trustworthy are 50% less likely to engage in substance abuse.
