In this episode of Delusional Optimism, Dr. B and co-host Seth Creekmore talk about young adults, ages 19 to 24. They discuss the defining characteristics as this age group shifts from having a shared life with their parents to their own independent life with themselves, and how this age group relates to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Dr. B also shares what is going through a young adult’s brain when they act out. Listen for three ways parents can give their children resilience and support even if they may not agree with the decisions that they’re making.
“The need of this period in life is to separate. It’s very important for young adults to separate from their parents in order to find who they are in themselves, and then they can come back later and reconnect on an adult level.” - Dr. B [13:48]
