When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.
— BRENE BROWN
“I’ve seen Sarah collaborate effectively with parents in all stages of their teenager’s journey to health and recovery. She has a gift for helping families figure out where they are stuck in unconscious or unhealthy patterns or behaviors . Parents tell me that Sarah is both gentle and encouraging in her coaching—and direct. She’s willing to point out what’s not working from her perspective, if needed. This is exactly what helps parents build on the gains made during treatment.”
