Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 109

In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw discusses the topic of ENABLING.  She actually draws upon her own recent first-hand experiences and the lessons that she's learned personally in handling a particular interpersonal relationship.  While "enabling" is most often associated with an adult-to-adult relationship, and while the example story that unfolds in this podcast does involve adults, there is an aspect to how one handles situations in which one is an enabler that is quite helpful in parenting situations.  Often the enabler is attempting to not just help, but to satisfy a need or to define oneself in a particular way.  It's a fascinating topic, and as always, Dr. Shaw's perceptive inward and outward observations can be quite edifying.
