Ep. 288 Overcoming Challenging Behaviors

Have you ever struggled to understand why someone in your life—maybe a child, spouse, or even yourself—acts out with anger, control, or emotional outbursts? It can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and even hopeless at times.

In this episode, I offer a compassionate perspective on what’s really going on beneath those behaviors. Often, what looks like control or chaos is really a response to fear, insecurity, or past wounds. By shifting our approach and getting curious—rather than reactive—we can begin to heal not just the behavior, but the relationships too.

Join me as I explore how to respond with wisdom, love, and the support of Catholic therapy when needed. Let’s grow together in understanding and peace.
