    Whiplash! When a Meltdown Comes Outta Nowhere {EP 196}


    Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify

    Whiplash. You probably know what I mean. You start to be lulled into a life with fewer meltdowns, or less intensity. Then BOOM. An old behavior seems to explode out of nowhere. 

    You’re right back to feeling like everything’s awful or it’ll never get better or you’ll have to live like this forever. 

    You might even be frustrated with yourself that you let yourself ‘relax.’

    All of these experiences are completely normal for folks who love someone with a chronic condition that occasionally flares- which is what a vulnerable nervous system is.

    In this episode, you’ll learn

    • The whiplash and why we feel it
    • Why our kids seem to attack outta nowhere
    • Why these moments feel like everything is as bad as ever- but it probably isn’t
    • Why it’s GOOD we can finally rest, even if it does leave us feeling unprotected and whiplashed

          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.

          In this episode, you’ll learn

          • 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
