The Parent/Teen
Relationship Reset

Reset your relationship with your teen...

in one weekend!

Can One Conversation Transform Your Relationship?

If it’s the right conversation, it can. 

We promise, if you follow our step-by-step guide for preparing for and having this three-part conversation with your teen, your relationship will improve.

Does your teen...

Roll their eyes at you, never want to spend time with you, seem to be pulling further and further away from you?

Are you worried that they are… having trouble dealing with their emotions, not able to make good decisions, going to fall short of your expectations of them—and their expectations of themselves?

What if you could...

Get your relationship back on track, so that you could... feel good about their mental health, trust their judgement, and feel inspired about their future.

And they could... feel more confident in themselves, have more joy in their lives, and consider you their most trusted ally?

A Few Words From Kristin

Kristin MacDermott, a resilience expert and co-founder of the MacDermottMethod

Hi, I'm Kristin MacDermott. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, resilience expert, and creator of the MacDermott Method.

 

A Joyful Mission

 

Families can be our greatest source of joy, but parenting is hard if you don't have training in communication and conflict resolution. Where do you get that training? Right here!

 

You shouldn't have to pay thousands or dollars or spend dozens of hours in therapy to get the tools and skills you need to enjoy parenting. 

 

Our mission is to help every parent who wants to have a better-feeling relationship with their teen achieve that goal.

 

An Evidence-Based Curriculum

 

I have spent two decades studying and teaching resilience and relationships, and the tools of this short but powerful program will not only help you repair your relationship with your teen but also allow you to communicate and resolve conflict more effectively in the future so you can enjoy each other's company going forward.

The Evidence-Based Curriculum

The tools of this course pull from my resilience-training curriculum that has been validated in 4 studies with researchers from The Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in peer-reviewed journals, and proven to promote clinically significant improvement in key mental health and resilience measures, including distress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-efficacy.

 

Versions of the curriculum have been used by a diverse array of organizations, including Navy SEALs, the LAPD, 20 hospitals across the country, including Duke Health and the National Institutes of Health, the National Guard, and the Veterans Administration, and they have been funded by The National Cancer Institute, Navy SEAL Family Foundation, Pfizer, Genentech, Amgen, Livestrong, Duke Cancer Institute, Colorado Health Foundation, Women’s Cancer Research Fund, the Aspen Center for Integral Health, Susan G. Komen Foundation, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the Annenberg Foundation.
