Let him know! Neil often uses listener-submitted questions as main the topics for his parenting podcasts. The Healthy Family Connections Podcast Episode 200 Duration: 00:13:05 We'll talk about this and a whole lot more on this week's podcast, What If We Did It All Wrong? Today we're hearing from Janice from Yakima, Washington and Janice writes: Dear Neil, So if we have had the problem of the Mom, namely Me, being.
In this previously unpublished chapter for his book, Neil gives youth an honest look at their relationship with their parents and offers them a healthy path forward towards their independence. Parental burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. It leaves parents feeling chronically fatigued, often experiencing sleep and concentration problems - and it can lead to depression, chronic anxiety, and illness.

Now enough time has passed to say with certainty that it really works, and we continue to do the work. There are no more blow-ups or paralyzing threats. We are committed to continuing on this path, knowing that simple does not mean easy, especially in the "get over bad habits" department.

My husband and I live in Idaho and reached out to Neil for assistance several months ago as his book resonated with us regarding Teen Control Battles.
We were initially looking for therapy for our son, but discovered as parents with Neil's assistance, we could use Neil's advice and tools to redirect our son.
After several months of therapy via Zoom, Neil taught us how to effectively parent an independent and strong willed teenage boy.
Our entire family is better for it. Invest in Neil; invest in your family and you will not regret it.

Neil Brown is an amazing counselor. While I was going through a very chaotic, gaslighting, marriage/divorce/trial...Neil changed my world.
Although I was told “no one will believe you”...
Neil Brown ultimately gave me the tools that changed me from being a frightened 99 pound 47 yr. old, to a strong - in mind, body and spirit- 59 yr. old woman.
I’m grateful he understood, believed, and woke me up.

I'm not sure Neil's approach is right for everyone, he seemed interested in getting down to brass tacks and wasn't afraid to push you to assume responsibility. That might be too confrontational for some, but if you want an expert's opinion of what's going on and what you need to do about it then Neil is a great resource.
A close friend recommended him after her family found his work extremely helpful and I was in a situation where we were navigating a transition in our relationship. Neil gave us work to do and things to think about and we made a great change.

Neil Brown is super sharp and does not take long to get to the heart of the matter. You may not like what he has to say, but this is because you may need to change what you are doing which is not easy. Looking at one's self and realizing you have "work to do" is tough. Neil is thoughtful and thorough. Excellent at conflict resolution, which is his specialty.

If you truly "want" some help & you are ready to look inward and ready to realize that YOU maybe the cause of many of your woes, then contact Neil. When one "needs" to see a counselor it is generally not during great times in one's life, which is why I feel these other negative comments have come from disillusioned clients not ready to realize their part in the woes set in front of them.
I started seeing Neil on a regular basis in 2009 and saw him once or twice a month for quite sometime. I still go back on rare occasion, though only to check in.
Call him ONLY if you

I saw Neil initially when my son and I were having communication issues. We had the whole thing wrapped up in 3 sessions.
However...Later, my wife (#2) and i went to see him with some problems. After a couple of sessions, it was..."Sounds like you guys need to divorce". Really? As mentioned earlier, I felt this guy had woman issues as he almost tended to flirt with my wife and was more than a little condensing towards me. It felt way too polarized to be effective.

Do not hire this "therapist." Though I may not have personally dealt with him, I can tell you that he is no good. A very close friend of mine was made to see Brown on the request of his parents, and every time he came back from his sessions, I noticed he was more upset than when he first left. I know that a therapist's job is not to make you feel "good," but it shouldn't make you hate yourself either. I asked my friend about how the sessions went, and was told that Brown repeatedly put him down, saying that he had "no dignity" and "no integrity."

If you are serious about getting help for personal problems AND you are willing to work at it, Neil Brown is the therapist for you. He gets right to the heart of the matter and is perfectly capable of making his clients uncomfortable if that is what it takes. Do not meet with him if you want a "yes man" who will only commiserate with you and feel your pain. He will help you see how you are a part of your problems and take it from there. He is a very talented and perceptive therapist.

Does Dr Brown take kickbacks for referrals to youth camps and/or pharmaceutical companies? It would seem that at the very least he alters his treatment plan accordingly. After looking back at the experience a few years after it happened it would seem very likely that he does.
I was to see Dr Brown at the request of my parents for drinking and partying that they did not agree with.
After only 2 SESSIONS I was prescribed DRASTIC(wilderness survival camp) measures against the better judgement of my parents. He convinced them he knew how to deal with me better then they did. Mind you that hes supposed
