The Power of Perspective with Neha Saluja

Perspective shapes everything, our thoughts, our feelings, and the way we show up for our families. In today’s episode, Dr. Jerry Weichman goes solo without Christina to conduct this interview and is joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Neha Saluja to unpack how negative thinking takes root in kids, why it impacts resilience and mental health, and what parents can do to shift the lens at home.  Together they explore the traps of black and white thinking, the ripple effects of pessimism, and practical ways parents can model flexibility and optimism without dismissing their kids’ real emotions. Neha’s candid insights, combined with Dr. Weichman’s perspective as both a clinician and a parent, provide a roadmap for helping families break free from negativity and build healthier, more hopeful outlooks.  If you’d like to keep up with Neha and learn more about the services she offers, be sure to check out her website at nehasalujalmft.com.       More from Dr. Jerry Weichman   Podcast Website: raisingfamiliespodcast.com   Website: drjerryweichman.com   Instagram: @drjerryweichman   YouTube: @RaisingFamilieswithDrJW   TikTok: @drjerryweichman  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jerry-weichman-ph-d   Facebook: facebook.com/drjerryweichman    Clinic: theweichmanclinic.com      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com      The content in this video is intended for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.
