In this episode of Therapy Matters, host David Recinos explains why therapy and co-parenting work best when both parents actively participate. He highlights how mothers often shoulder emotional labor while many fathers minimize issues or avoid emotional work. David discusses the value of combined family therapy for changing interaction patterns and the importance of individual therapy for each parent to process personal history, triggers, and grief. When both parents engage, children benefit from consistent communication, better emotional modeling, and a more balanced family system. The episode ends with a call to reflect on how fully you're showing up as a parent and an encouragement to seek help together so the whole family can thrive.
