Summary
Sometimes we confuse spiritual health with mental health, assuming they are one in the same when that’s often far from the truth. Knowing this, it seems appropriate to take a little deeper dive into our emotional health with Licensed Professional Counselor, Debra Fileta.
We cover a lot of ground today with topics like: ways to take inventory of our mental health, when spiritual answers don’t address our mental health issues, the importance of modeling emotional health with our kids, training our kids to identify their emotions, recognizing our kids’ default emotion and investigating the deeper issue.
And please don’t miss Debra’s advice on preparing our kids for dating relationships, the frequent pitfalls they may face, and resources we can use to navigate the dating years.
Here’s to a show addressing the very important mental and emotional health issues facing all parents!

| 0:02.0 | This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching |
| 0:21.0 | us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk the parenting |
| 0:26.5 | road alone. |
| 0:32.8 | Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Musk. Glad you're joining us today today it is the beginning of august and so here's |
| 0:38.4 | the question of the day are you really okay and i can tell you as a mom who is dropping her firstborn |
| 0:44.2 | off at college next week no a resounding no i am not really okay but i love that title for deborah philletta's |
| 0:51.3 | new book and she's with us today talking about our emotional and mental health. And I love that she talks about how we can't always give just a spiritual |
| 0:59.0 | response to mental health, that there's other things to consider. She talks to us about different |
| 1:03.6 | ways to inventory our mental health because only when we are fully healthy can we help our families. |
| 1:09.2 | I particularly like that she said during the interview |
| 1:11.8 | that there is a default emotion that most of our kids go to when they're struggling. That can be |
| 1:17.3 | anxiety, that can be anger, it can be a whole lot of different things. And that when we see that |
| 1:23.4 | default emotion, that's when we know to dig in and see what's below it. I think that is so helpful. |
| 1:29.0 | And so I know there's all kinds of tidbits you're going to love today. At the end, we wrap it up with |
| 1:33.5 | also talking about true love dates, which is another book she has and how to look at dating with |
| 1:38.5 | our kids. So she's very practical. She's very helpful. And I'm thrilled to have her with us today. |
