Rupture without Repair, and the Discomfort of Being Misunderstood   In this deeply personal episode, Patricia (she/her) unpacks the fallout from a neighborhood rupture and the painful loss of community connection. Through the lens of being autistic and AuDHD, she explores rejection sensitivity, communication breakdowns, friendship trauma, and why repair isn't always possible. She also shares how co-regulation, body doubling, Costco runs, and fierce family love provide grounding. This conversation is raw, tender, and validating for anyone who has struggled with being misunderstood as a neurodivergent person. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       The neighborhood rupture and how a joke led to exclusion from a community group ·       What happens when rupture and repair aren't possible in friendships ·       The autistic need for clarity, communication, and closure ·       Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and how silence feels like rejection ·       The PDA (persistent drive for autonomy) response to being left out ·       The pain of friendship trauma and feeling misunderstood ·       How autistic people process and loop on unresolved conflict ·       The role of community in belonging and nervous system regulation ·       Why body doubling and co-regulation help autistic/ADHD brains stay grounded ·       Finding comfort in Costco runs, small joys, and simple routines ·       Permission to need rest, wear earplugs, or retreat from sensory overwhelm ·       Generational differences in friendship and communication between neurodivergent people ·       Practicing adaptability through change (like moving workspaces at home) ·       The bittersweet truth: not all friendships are meant to last ·       Gratitude reframed through an autistic lens—how to find appreciation without bypassing pain SOUND BITES “For us, it felt like there was no space for human mistakes, no place for rupture and repair.” “This activated friendship trauma in me, and I've noticed my protective armor is up.” “Intellectually, I know this is fine. Emotionally, feeling misunderstood and powerless is really hard.” "You have a right to speak up." "Not all friendships last forever." "Life is messy. Friendships are messy." “Body doubling is such a beautiful way to borrow someone else's nervous system to regulate.” “Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how you're wired. You have the right to take up space.” SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Community Dynamics 08:42 The Impact of Silence and Rejection 17:06 Rupture, Repair, and the Complexity of Relationships 23:52 Finding Joy in Everyday Moments 29:13 Gratitude and Perspective on Life PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

  Fostering positive relationships with autistic preschoolers is incredibly important. In this episode, I talk about emotional safety, understanding sensory needs, and the role of co-regulation in supporting self-regulation. The discussion highlights the need to step out of traditional teacher roles, validate autistic play, and harness deep interests to create meaningful connections. Core values such as compassion over compliance and honoring neurodiversity are explored, along with strategies for creating joyful, neuroaffirming classrooms. The conversation concludes with a focus on the long-term impact of connection and the importance of empowering educators and caregivers. Takeaways: Positive relationships create emotional safety for children. Understanding sensory needs is crucial for connection. Co-regulation supports self-regulation in children. Stepping out of teacher mode fosters authentic connections. Autistic play is valid and meaningful, reflecting unique interactions. Deep interests can be a doorway to connection. Compassion over compliance is essential in education. Creating joyful, neuroaffirming classrooms enhances learning. Presuming competence in communication builds trust. Connection lays the foundation for long-term success.

Welcome back to another episode of Know Your Physio—the podcast where we dive deep into the science of human potential and self-mastery. Today, I'm beyond excited to introduce a guest who truly embodies resilience and what it means to live with purpose: Dr. Chris Lee.Dr. Chris Lee is not only a neuroscientist but also an entrepreneur and, most importantly, a compassionate human being whose journey has been shaped by immense personal challenges. He's navigated the profound loss of his father, taken on the responsibility of being a single parent, and powered through the demanding grind of earning his doctorate. Through it all, Chris has developed an unparalleled understanding of the human nervous system and the true art of self-regulation.In this episode, we dive into Chris's personal “why”—a journey that started with heartache but has evolved into a beautiful, transformative philosophy. Chris shares his foundational mantra: “If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower.” This mindset shift helped him reframe pain, purpose, and the environments that either limit or liberate us. It's a powerful way to look at adversity—not as something to avoid, but as the very fuel for growth.We talk about the stark difference between being driven by suffering versus being inspired by purpose. High performers, as Chris explains, often unknowingly uncover what truly regulates them and what doesn't. We also explore the science of emotional intelligence, the importance of co-regulation in relationships, and how to thrive in an overstimulated world through "low-stimulation" habits.This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insights that will challenge your understanding of success. It's an invitation to embrace discomfort, redefine what “winning” really means, and discover the “unf*ckable” version of yourself that emerges when you do the inner work. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.

Childhood trauma, often referred to as ‘complex' or ‘developmental' trauma, is extremely common but is not often discussed in the context of our work as early childhood educators. And yet, children are showing up to our settings/programs every day carrying the weight of these circumstances and, according to research, a trajectory of negative health outcomes for the lifespan as a result. But Mary Hewitt shares with us that there is hope: early positive relationships and experiences with informed educators have the power to protect, buffer, and even reverse the devastating impacts of childhood trauma.   This episode is sponsored by Mangotree Kids.

Have you ever given or received advice, only to realise it didn't land the way you hoped? This week I explore the common (and sometimes uncomfortable) experience of unsolicited advice—when someone offers suggestions or solutions without being asked. I reflect on how this type of advice, even when well-intentioned, can feel dismissive, create disconnection, and even lead to codependency. Support doesn't always mean solving. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer is our full, caring attention. In this episode you will learn: Why unsolicited advice can feel invalidating or emotionally disconnecting What some of the internal motivators are behind giving advice The importance of presence and co-regulation over rushing to fix someone's feelings Helpful alternatives to unsolicited advice Reflective journal prompts to consider - How do you feel when someone gives you unsolicited advice?

Resources for Emotional Healing: Episode 79Resource for Dental/Airway challenges: Episode 71Podcast dedicated to addressing mold: Never Been SickerIn this episode of the "Ask Dr. Tony" series, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses the question of whether there are times when nervous system work should not be the first priority in healing. While he typically advocates for starting with nervous system regulation through chiropractic care before moving to detoxification and other therapies, he identifies three significant exceptions: mold exposure, family emotional stress, and dental/airway issues. These environmental factors can create constant stress on a child's body, preventing nervous system healing despite proper chiropractic care. Dr. Tony explains how these issues work as continuous stressors that exhaust the nervous system and require specific interventions before chiropractic care can be fully effective.[00:05:00] Foundational ConceptsDr. Bruce Lipton's quote: "The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells"The "inside-out" healing approach vs. pharmaceutical/symptom-based approachesHealth as a balance between internal regulation and environmental factors[00:10:00] First Exception: Mold ExposureHow mold creates a constant 24/7/365 burden on the immune and nervous systemsSigns that mold might be an issue (persistent respiratory problems despite treatment)Why mold must be addressed before nervous system work can be effective[00:19:00] Second Exception: Family Emotional StressHow stress and emotional trauma within the family affect a child's healingThe importance of treating parents' nervous systems for co-regulationPersonal examples from Dr. Tony's experiences with his own children's health challenges[00:23:00] Third Exception: Dental Infections and Airway IssuesHow dental problems and airway dysfunction create continuous nervous system stressThe connection between oral health and vagus nerve functionWhy these issues can block progress despite proper chiropractic care[00:29:00] Identifying Issues and SolutionsUsing INSiGHT Scans to measure nervous system function and identify non-responsive casesThe "three scans" rule for determining when to look for other underlying issuesImportance of proper referrals and comprehensive care approaches-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

This episode explores the profound impact of stress on autistic children, emphasizing the need for compassionate approaches to behavior management. It highlights the importance of understanding behaviors as forms of communication, the necessity of self-advocacy, and the creation of supportive environments that cater to the unique needs of autistic individuals.  The discussion provides practical strategies for educators and caregivers to foster emotional regulation, validate feelings, and promote effective communication. Takeaways Behavior is deeply tied to stress, especially for autistic children. Stressful environments can exacerbate behavioral challenges. Understanding behaviors as communication is crucial. Compassion-based approaches prioritize understanding unmet needs. Traditional compliance-focused methods can harm emotional well-being. Self-advocacy is essential for autistic individuals' safety. Protests are valid forms of communication. Creating predictable routines helps reduce anxiety. Co-regulation is vital for emotional management.

In this episode of the HX podcast, Bri Morsa joins us for a deep dive into the importance of co-regulation—especially when self-regulation falls short. We explored how, no matter how much inner work we do, we all hit moments where we simply can't do it alone. Bri shares how her own life transitions have made her increasingly reliant on her "humans" to co-regulate, and how allowing yourself to be seen and supported in your struggles can lead to greater personal healing and growth. Together, we discussed the power of having trusted people who can hold space for you in tough times, offering a gentle mirror when you need it most. We also covered the often-overlooked challenge of co-regulation for leaders, particularly those in HR and executive positions. We unpacked why it can feel unsafe to seek co-regulation within your organization and stressed the importance of finding external communities of support. Bri shared personal stories of navigating these dynamics and provided actionable insights for identifying the right people to turn to for co-regulation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels the weight of leadership, is navigating personal or professional transitions, or simply wants to better understand the role of emotional connection in the human experience.

Do you find it challenging to stay calm and mindful when your child is having a tough time in public? Gabriele Nicolet and I explore understanding kid's behavior from both behavioral and neurophysiological perspectives. Gabriele, a seasoned speech therapist and parent coach, shares invaluable insights into decoding what behaviors signify about a kid's internal states and sensory needs. We discuss the importance of validating those needs without letting behavior spiral out of control, and offer practical strategies to co-regulate with your child.Throughout the episode, you'll gain a profound understanding of the critical balance between encouraging self-advocacy and addressing immediate behavioral issues, especially in kids facing neurodivergent challenges. Gabriele discusses why compliance is often overvalued while genuine self-efficacy starts from a child's early refusals and disagreements. You'll also hear personal anecdotes that bring these concepts to life, offering you relatable scenarios and practical advice for managing everything from sensory discomfort to school avoidance. Don't miss out on learning how to parent with empathy, understand the true roots of your child's behavior, and create a sense of safety and calm in both routine and challenging moments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support.

The Parenting Reframe
6 Tips for Self-Regulation

The Parenting Reframe

Play Episode Listen Later May 1, 2024 21:57


In this solo episode I'm talking all about self regulation and how to help kids self regulate. Self regulation is all about how to get your child to calm down when they aren't calm. Essentially, how can we help our kids gain the ability to understand that a. They're going to be ok, b. The outcome will likely be the same, and c. They are safe. I have six tips for self-regulation that I share with the parents I work with one-on-one and I'm sharing them with you in this episode! Co-Regulation: The idea we are working on regulating ourselves while our child is working on regulating himself/herself. When your child starts to exhibit a negative behavior, you might become uncomfortable or triggered by their actions. Co-regulation happens when we remain calm, when we recognize our own triggers, and we keep our boundaries. Boundaries: Boundaries are a structure that is predictable and consistent. Children are looking for things that are predictable in nature to keep themselves regulated. Boundaries help teach our children how to self-regulate while experiencing dysregulation. Validation: Validation is when we can understand why our child feels a certain way, not giving them a pass for that emotion or behavior. There is so much power in practicing validation in the long-term. Breathwork: Breathwork is a great way to practice self-regulation in times where your child is completely regulated. Then they can utilize this tool when they are feeling dysregulated. Blowing out candle breathwork, fire hose breathing, and other things that help the nervous system calm down are great ways to help with self-regulation. Sensory Toys: There are so many different sensory toys that can help kids while they are regulated and dysregulated. It's a calming mechanism that can help people of all ages. Having sensory toys available such as fidget spinners or expanding tubes available at all times is a great go-to as children continue to learn more about how to self-regulate. Work on Regulation while They're Regulated: Working on self-regulation during a tantrum won't work 9 out of 10 times. Co-regulation is the best way to help work on self-regulation at the moment. What can you do in the moment when a tantrum is happening? Boundary-Empathy Sandwich - state your boundary, note your empathy (it's hard to not get the thing you want), restate your boundary.Remind yourself “I am safe and so are they.” - Many of us learned that showing sadness or other “negative” emotions as a child was met with reactions like “stop crying” or “don't be upset.” This likely caused us to feel unsafe. Now, as parents, when our children have similar emotions, we have a strong response and want to remedy it as quickly as possible. This mantra will help you to steady yourself and stay calm. Take a break if you really have to - Give yourself a no-demands day to reset as you fatigue. This looks like loosening boundaries, not engaging in high-stress times, and relaxing. Say less - Don't over explain your boundary and feel confident in your boundary. If they become physical, keep them and others safe - Stand up in a neutral position with your hands at your sides. Sometimes you need to pick them up and move them to another location to keep them safe. Other times you need to hold onto them. Remind them they are safe and physically calm their body. Tell them they are not allowed to hit you.  Resources: Free Emotional Regulation Webinar: https://stan.store/theparentingreframe/p/free-download-emotional-regulation-for-parentsIf you would like to do my 2 month 1:1 coaching with me to get a custom road map on how best to tune into your child's needs, book a free call to see if we are a good fit:  https://stan.store/theparentingreframe/theparentingreframe_store/page/51536Be sure to sign up for my Substack newsletter for longer and more specialized parenting content: https://albiona.substack.com/ I hope you found this episode helpful; for more parenting tips, check out my website and blog for more information. https://theparentingreframe.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparentingreframe/Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentingreframe
