Living With Someone Chronically Dysregulated {EP 171}


Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

Do you live with someone or love someone who is chronically dysregulated?

This episode isn’t an episode that is going to tell you what to do.

This is an episode of commiseration. Of “I see you.”

It is exhausting to live with someone who is chronically unhappy, or chronically dysregulated. Knowing you’re not alone can help.

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • How nervous systems match each other
  • How we get our sense of safety from the state of each other’s nervous system
  • The serve & return and rhythms of relationship, and what happens when that gets disrupted

Why Kids Act Better For Other People {EP 170}

Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

It’s very common for all humans- kids and adults- to have more behavior struggles and dysregulation. Kids with vulnerable nervous systems, as well as attachment trauma, are especially likely to demonstrate some confusing patterns with regard to where they are regulated and where they aren’t.

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • The neurobiology behind why it’s normal for kids (and adults) to behave better at school (or work or out shopping or wherever)
  • How the connections in a family could be the trigger for dysregulation
  • How all families tend to have moments that ebb and flow in dysregulation- this is normal

Resources Mentioned on the Podcast

  • Disorganized Attachment podcast
  • Stress Response Podcast
  • When Connection isn’t Safe podcast

The Privilege of Parenting With Safety {EP 169}


Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

Parenting with co-regulating and seeing below our kids behaviors is actually a privilege we rarely talk about. It’s always a privilege, but especially when we consider different marginalized and oppressed identities that a lot of kids- and those of you listening- intersectionally hold. 

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • The definition of privilege (it is NOT a criticism)
  • The privilege of safety for folks with histories of trauma
  • The privilege of safety for folks with other marginalized and oppressed identities
  • How this relates to parenting

I HATE YOU! And Other Big Feelings {EP 168}


Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

Kids with vulnerable nervous systems often say BIG, hurtful, and scary words. They say things like “I hate you!” or “You hate me!” They sometimes threaten to hurt themselves- or you! Verbal aggression almost always pulls us right onto the watchdog pathway ourselves- which is understandable. Let’s talk about how you might respond if you’re able to hang onto your owl brain.

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • To stay focused on the level of activation, not the words being said
  • What to say (if anything) back to statements like “I hate you,” “I wish you’d never adopted me,” or “I’m going to hurt you.” 
  • How to start listening for what’s really being expressed
