    Questions To Ask a Potential Therapist! {EP 218}


    Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

    Have you ever wondered what types of questions you should ask a new therapist to assess how well they understand behaviors through the lens of the nervous system?

    No need to take notes during this episode, I created downloadable handouts you can access with just one click. Listen to the episode then head over to my website!

    PLEASE NOTE. These are suggestions. Please vet your professionals thoroughly. I’m certain there are many important questions left off of this list. I’m also certain there are many excellent trainings that I did not include in the list of potential trainings. Also, even if a therapist meets all the criteria, that doesn’t mean they are the right therapist for your family. Even someone trained with me isn’t necessarily the therapist or professional that is right for you. 

    In this episode, you’ll learn

    • Questions you can ask a therapist to get a feel for how well they conceptualize behaviors through the lens of the nervous system
    • Red flags to pay attention to
    • Trainings on a therapist’s resume that suggest they conceptualize behavior through the lens of ‘all behavior makes sense.’

    You don’t have to take notes!

      Co-Regulating? Or Masking? {EP 217}


      Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

      Kids with vulnerable nervous systems need more co-regulation than other kids their age and yes it’s exhausting.

      Did you know it’s possible to be GOOD exhausted and not just BAD exhausted?!?! 

      It’s you’re chronically exhausted, you’re probably not doing as much co-regulation as you are masking how dysregulated you are.

      And hey- no judgment here! This is very explicitly a no-judgment episode. I don’t want you to feel bad or even try to do anything different.

      In this episode, you’ll learn

      • The difference between co-regulating and masking
      • How doing something really hard (like co-regulating a child with a vulnerable nervous system day in and day out) means that YOU need more connection and co-regulation, too!
      • That you don’t need to try to do anything different right now, it’s too much work to do anything different. In this episode, I’ll just ask you to notice- without judgment

        “On Purpose” Behavior {EP 216}


        Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

        Have you ever wondered how those behaviors that feel ‘on purpose’ fit into this nervous system approach?

        They feel so intentional! Like there is so much Owl-brain thought involved.

        But they certainly aren’t behaviors of connection!!!

        This episode will:

        • Demystify ‘on purpose’ behaviors
        • Remind you to always consider regulation, connection, and felt safety…then strategize how to respond to those ‘on purpose’ behaviors accordingly

          The #1 Ingredient of Self-Regulation {EP 215}


          Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

          Monitoring and modifying are the two essential elements of regulation. ~ Dr. Dan Siegel

          When we really understand what makes up the skill of self-regulation, we can be more intentional about helping our kids develop those skills.

          We can also be more understanding and compassionate when they aren’t able to use those skills!

          This episode explores the skills of monitoring (noticing) and modifying (changing) our level of arousal and activation as the main ingredients of self-regulation.

          Remember that self-regulation can only develop with enough co-regulation. But once there is a strong foundation of co-regulation, we can encourage our kids to develop the skills to notice and change (when appropriate or needed!) their level of arousal. 

          In this episode, you’ll learn

          • The main ingredients of self-regulation- monitor & modify
          • How to scaffold up to teaching kids to monitor and modify
          • How to have appropriate expectations about your child’s ability to monitor and modify, even after they have learned the skills
