Episode 8 – Home Isn’t Always a Haven What happens when the one place that’s supposed to feel safe—home—starts to feel like a war zone? In this episode of Decode Teen Emotions, we take a deep dive into the hidden emotional battles happening behind closed doors. From sibling rivalry and feeling invisible to the weight of financial stress and constant parental conflict, we explore how these stressors can build up and impact a teen’s ability to manage anger and anxiety.
Join host John, expert guest Susan, and teen voice Brayden as they discuss real-life scenarios and offer practical, compassionate strategies for turning household tension into connection. Discover how tools like family check-ins, emotional validation, and simple “I feel” statements can make a powerful difference.
If your home life feels overwhelming, or if you're looking for ways to communicate better and feel more understood, this episode is for you.
