LFPWLI: Anna Seewald, Living Through Loss and Action Steps for Healing      In this episode, Mathew, and Anna discuss how experiencing loss changes who you are, the importance of radical self-care, and how you truly are in control of how you feel. By embracing the power of relationships, being in nature, journaling, and moving her body Anna has developed emotionally flexible, deep empathy, and eternal gratefulness for life.   Anna Seewald was 13 years old when the earthquake struck Armenia killing about 60,000 people, including her mother, cousin, friends, teachers, and relatives. Anna recounts the surreal chaos of the day her life changed forever, how it shaped her views on human nature, and what she has learned about herself in the wake of tragedy.   “There are no sure things in life. It's unpredictable and uncertain. So you have to enjoy and be present here and now, today.”   In this episode, you'll hear:  Difference between losing a parent as a child versus as an adult Tools cope with triggers when you start to feel weighed down by your past Tips for journaling and the benefits of a regular practice   Follow the podcast:  Listen on Apple Podcasts (link: https://apple.co/3s1YH7h)  Listen on iHeart (link: https://ihr.fm/3MEY7FM)  Listen on Spotify (Link: https://spoti.fi/3yMmQCE)  Connect with the guest: Anna Seewald on Facebook Anna Seewald on Instagram Anna Seewald on LinkedIn Resources:  Authentic Parenting Podcast Authenticparenting.com  More information on the earthquakes in Armenia Connect with Mathew Blades:  Twitter - twitter.com/MathewBlades Instagram - instagram.com/MathewBladesmedia/  Facebook - facebook.com/mathewbladesmedia/  Website - learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com/

It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.

In this solo episode Anna talks about the 6 critical emotional needs of children. She provides an overview with some examples to help you understand your children better; become a better decoder of their behavior, uncover their emotional needs and meet the needs with responsiveness and sensitivity.  She goes over her 4 Buckets Framework for understanding challenging behaviors (NEEDS is only one of the categories).  In our culture we are always fixated on the behavior itself(we want to stop, correct and get rid of). When we focus on the behavior in isolation (wanting to stop, correct, get rid of etc.) and see the behavior as the problem, we misunderstand children. We miss the mark. So challenging behaviors not only persist but escalate and become more destructive, and intensify.  Behavior-based approach is not effective.  In no particular order here are the 6 emotional needs: Safety Respect Acceptance Autonomy Significance Connection If you want to learn more and go deeper, get The Why of Challeneging Behaviors and the How-to of Dealing with Them now.    SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join 18 exisiting memebers who contribute $92 towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review   FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    WORK WITH ME I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!

We enter into the world with a breath and the process of breathing continues automatically. We don't pay much attention to it unless of course something goes wrong.  But the way we breathe has an enormous impact on our health. To quote my guest directly:  “Breathing impacts every aspect of health-sleep, digestion, movement, mental well-being, disease and recovery. It's an extraordinary resource with life-changing potential. And it's simple, free and available to everyone.”  You are about to learn some great information and practical techniques that are key to healthy breathing and healthy living. In today's conversation Patrick McKeown explains the difference between functional and dysfunctional breathing, the effects of dysfunctional breathing on our health, he emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing, the roles and misconceptions about oxygen and CO2, teaches us to breath correctly to get more oxygenation to our brain and cells, for improving focus, concentration, sleep, and ease stress and anxiety, relax the nervous system, overall health and performance. and get this, it turns out breathing for women is different.  This is such a rich episode, packed not only with great information but also practical tips that you can apply right away for example how to open a blocked nose. I asked him about mask wearing: is it good, is it bad, what does it do to us, as well and learned interesting things about dry lips, double chin, ADHD and breathing and mouth taping at night for better sleep.    GET HIS BOOKS The Breathing Cure The Oxygen Advantage    BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

For the past 25 years Marc Brackett, Ph.D has been researching and writing about emotions and running around the world talking to people about their feelings.  Marc Brackett, Ph.D., is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. “Our emotional state is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It rules everything else. Its influence is pervasive. Yet it is also the thing we steer around most carefully. Our inner lives are uncharted territory even to us, a risky place to explore.  Our lives are saturated with emotions-sadness, disappointment, anxiety, irritation, enthusiasm and even tranquility. Sometimes-often-those feelings are inconvenient.  The irony, though, is when we ignore our feelings, or suppress them, they only become stronger. " Key poiints:  Why emotions matter?

The core struggle for most of us is we want things to be different than they are. How can we free ourselves from unnecessary suffering and experience freedom that is already present in our lives.  Ask yourself, what am I feeling right now that I don't want to feel? And is that a problem?  Often we look outside ourselves either for problems or solutions. Couples blame one another-you should change so that I won't feel disturbed. By placing the cause of our disturbance outside of ourselves they miss the opportunity to develop a capacity to deal with our own disturbance.  What is our tendency? We avoid feeling discomfort. We get wrapped up in stories and interpretations. Our normal way of operating is to relate to our embodied sensation from the perspective of our interpretations.  According to my guest-Bruce Tift, the author of Already Free, the more we stay embodied with our moment to moment experience, the more confidence we have that we can work with whatever arises.    GET HIS BOOK Already Free: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation   BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Stress is part of life. When stress becomes too intense, too much and too frequent it overwhelms our nervous system, and awakens stress imprints from our past and we lose the ability to effectively recover from it. And for the past year-and-a-half we have been all pushed to our limits and stress and overwhelm have been ever more present in our lives. With stress activation unhealed and unprocessed, we can go through life almost on autopilot. Listen to this fantastic conversation as Rebekkah LaDyne talks about developing mind-body tools for stress resilience.  Key Points: How parenting is an emotional experience and can place tremendous stress on our mind and body, especially if we have trauma history How there is beginning, middle and end to stress and how we often don't allow ourselves to experience the end, and new stresses over lapse causing more overwhelm  How we can develop resilience by daily mind-body practices and there is no quick fix Why the key to well-being and resilience lies in befriending our body OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY ENHOY  194 The Dark Side of Motherhood 281 The Power of Self-Regulation 227 Moving Beyond Trauma with Illene Smith 203: Discovering Wholeness and Healing after Trauma with  James Gordon, MD 147: What Does Self-Care Really Mean?  113 Signs of Childhood Trauma in Adults  This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, the most comprehensive daily nutritional supplement.

"We are really struggling with kiddos not listening right now…I'm struggling to be patient and to show up as the parent I would like to be." In this solo podcast episode I answer some of your parenting questions (posted recently in our FB group).  "We are struggling with our 6.5 year old teasing his brother and yelling at him. My little one is about to turn 3. My boys are whining and struggling to listen. It's feels like there's a lot of conflict going."  "How to respond to my 6 yr old's frequent, explosive (& sometimes violent) tantrums - he has several a day over minor frustrations and not getting his way (even in response to long-established rules like no snacks in the hour before dinner)." I pulled common threads: kids not listening = not cooperating  kids having tantrums and whining = exhibiting emotion regulation and impulse control challenges  When it comes to kids not listening-cooperating, there are 2 emotional needs that we need to pay attention to: Attachment-connection Autonomy  I can suggest 3 ways to elicit cooperation:  Strengthen connection Honor and give more autonomy (in what areas you can give more autonomy?)

Anna Seewald, M.Ed is a Parent Educator, Keynote Speaker, Author and Host of The Authentic Parenting Podcast. With a background in psychology and education, and having worked with children for 18 years, today Anna helps conscious moms and dads to become calm and connected to themselves and their children through trauma-informed education. She believes in helping children by helping parents. She has a private practice that specializes in parent education, where she provides one-on-one parent coaching, parenting, court-ordered, and co-parenting classes. Anna shared some extremely important information from her experience of helping parents who are divorcing or are divorced, and from helping people who are going through custody battles and/or are already in blended families. To her, the biggest challenges in blended families are communication and discipline. "If Scott and Stephanie can learn to co-parent, then I have hope that I can help ANY parents!" "Use your energy for healing as opposed to fighting and trying to punish each other. Shift your energy and things will shift." Anna ends her sessions by challenging each co-parenting partner: "Can you say 5 positive things that you admire about your coparenting partners?" "Seeing the humanness in the other person...Have compassion and understanding for the pain of the other person."

Warning:  Because of the subject matter: death, loss, grief and the emotional nature of the conversation, this episode might be potentially triggering. Please assess your own physiological state, if you're ready to consume such content and be gentle to yourself. Listener description is advised.  In this episode Anna talks about the sudden death of her only living parent, her dad. Kristy Lauricella, who is Anna’s dear friend and a palliative care social worker, held space for her so that she can share the news of the passing of her dad with you, what she is going through right now and how she is copying with her loss and what she is thinking about end of life as an adult. As well as, what an influential person her dad was for her in becoming her authentic self and doing the work she is doing today.  Kristy was one of the facilitators at the Authentic Parenting LIVE event in 2019 and she has also appeared on the podcast.  Check out her thought-provoking conversation with Anna called Why We Need to Connect More, which striked a chord with many.  Some key points in this conversation:  Grief needs to be witnessed Grieving is an individual process  Having a social support is vital in healing Allow feelings to be, feel them, stay with them, and move through them whenever they arise  Taking care of yourself will go along the way  Tips for talking to kids about death and losing loved ones, no BS Embrace the mystery of life, live your life well to honor the dead and legacy We hope by hearing her personal story you can find universal themes and value for yourself as loss and grief for many have been real issues in the past year.  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

What do you do with so much information and advice that is out there? Do you often doubt yourself as a parent whether you are doing it right?  On today's on-air coaching call I'm helping Cara, mom of a one year old girl.  When is the right age for sending a toddler to daycare? When should she wean her baby from breastfeeding? Is it ok to pick up babies when they cry or wait 15 min before responding?  Cara is also faced with a dilemma. To return to work or to stay home with her baby. It turns out this is an emotional territory for her.  Other episodes you may enjoy:  214: The Performance Trap of Modern Motherhood 194: The Dark Side of Motherhood  226: Practicing Conscious Parenting  208: How to Be a Confident Parent   BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Yvette Erasmus on what happens when your needs are not fulfilled, the difference between needs and feelings, choicefulness, taking responsibility, stopping playing the victim and much more.  Effective communication is at the heart of strong relationships.  A critical aspect of effective communication is learning how to express our needs. But in order to learn to express first we need to get in touch with our needs.  Communication can come into conflict when needs are unfulfilled. Unmet needs can lead to feelings of anger, confusion, disappointment, frustration, hopelessness, irritation, sadness, loneliness and embarrassment, to name only a few. Fully understanding what we need makes the next step in our communication easier–asking for what we need to enrich life. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Most of us are not comfortable with our unpleasant feelings. We tend to avoid, numb out or distract ourselves from feeling their discomfort.  Knowing how to deal with intense, overwhelming and uncomfortable feelings is essential to building confidence, resilience and authenticity.

In the late '80's a horrific earthquake flattened Armenia killing thousands of people and leaving a trail of devastation. Anna Seewald was 13 at the time and, although she lost her mother, was left to deal with a world turned upside-down by herself, while the rest of the country tried to do the same. The experience shaped and changed her, and she dedicated her life to helping and serving children. It was only when she became a mother herself did she realise that parents also need help and support so that they may help their children blossom. As a young adult, Anna's studies bought her to the USA and she now lives in New Jersey with her husband and their 9 year old daughter. She's the founder of Authentic Parenting where she's helped hundreds of parents around the world in the emotional job of parenting. Anna believes that as you raise your children, you grow yourself. In this episode, we talk about the importance of dealing with unresolved past issues and healing from trauma. You'll understand how to address your big emotions so you don't become hijacked by them and manage your stress and overwhelm so you can show up more greatly in your parenting. Anna will help you make sense of your stories and break free of harmful patterns and triggers to become more authentic in your parenting.

Hunter talks to Anna Seewald about Three Steps to Stop Yelling. We know in our gut that it's harmful to yell, but it's so hard to stop. In this episode Anna Seewald comes back to talk about how yelling affects children and the three steps you need to stop. Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. Yelling is a sign that you need to pay attention to your overall stress level. It's time to reduce and manage your stress. 2. We need to tell our brain that we are safe in that moment. Your mind sees your child as a threat. 3. Yelling affects children's crucial brain development, so the amount of yelling can determine the trajectory of your child's entire life.
