Show Notes

Join us for this podcast episode as we talk with CHC experts, Emily Hsu, PhD, licensed psychologist and Danna Torres, LMFT exploring the essential skill of distress tolerance for parents navigating the emotional rollercoaster of raising children. Learn why developing the ability to withstand difficult emotions without reacting impulsively can transform your parenting journey. We discuss practical strategies to build this crucial skill—including mindfulness practices and calming techniques.

Discover how strengthening your distress tolerance models healthy emotional regulation for your children. When parents can remain steady during storms of frustration, exhaustion, and worry, children gain the security and emotional tools they need to develop resilience for life’s challenges.
