      Why So Controlling? {EP 193}


      Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

      Parenting kids with vulnerable nervous systems is practically synonymous with “controlling.” Our kids are controlling and for most of us, if we were honest, we’d notice that the stress of parenting is causing us to get controlling, too.

      • Why protection mode almost always leads to an increase in controlling behavior
      • How controlling behavior is an attempt to find safety and connection
      • Tips on how to offer co-regulation to a child who is attempting to control you

        Is Co-Regulation Just Coddling? {EP 192}


        Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

        Almost every time I teach, especially if there are folks in the audience not already familiar with my work or the concept of co-regulation, someone asks the very valid question of- 

        “Isn’t this (co-regulation) just coddling?”

        Fair question! There are a lot of underlying assumptions and fears in this question that we will deconstruct in today’s episode.

        Spoiler: Co-regulation is NOT coddling!

        In this episode, you’ll learn

        • The difference between co-regulation and coddling
        • Why asking this question helps us understand some of our fears
        • What trust has to do with co-regulation
