Webinar Series

Raising a teenager can take a massive cognitive toll on a marriage. When family stress peaks and a teenager becomes emotionally dysregulated, spouses often find themselves exhausted, leading to physiological flooding and marital conflict. In this presentation, Eduardo Bonilla will explore how youth dysregulation disrupts systemic homeostasis and how families can shift from "Reactive Containment" (panic-driven control) to neurobiological "Proactive Wayfinding". Attendees will learn how to operationalize the "Be Their Frontal Lobe" framework, equipping partners to use the trauma-informed "Compassionate Pause" to tag-team crisis moments, interrupt circular causality, and restore systemic emotional safety.
