Sissy Goff on the Power of Peace
Episode 172
“I am seeing parents who are doing a beautiful job of getting their kids to talk about their feelings, sitting with those kids in their feelings, but they’re not helping their kids work through the feelings … because they feel like the most important thing in this moment is hearing their child instead of giving them coping strategies themselves.” - Sissy Goff
On today's episode of The Matthew West Podcast, I’m joined by my friend, Sissy Goff! Sissy is a child therapist of 30 years, a well-known and trusted voice in the media immediately following a recent Nashville tragedy, and a 13-time author. My wife, Emily, and I personally endorsed her newest book The Worry-Free Parent and will shout from the rooftops about how needed the message is - our life is proof! Join us as we talk about how anxiety in parents impacts their kiddos, what it means to do your own work (and how to get started), and practical tips to minister to children in the midst of uncertainty.
Let's go to the Story House with Sissy Goff!
