Was tun, wenn dein Gegenüber Raum braucht – und in dir alles Nähe will? Wenn Verlassenheitswunden sich melden? Wie verhandeln wir Nähe & Distanz? Wie gut für sich sorgen, wenn wir gerade nicht in Verbindung sind?
Auch mal nicht das bekommen, was man will - und damit klarkommen. Eine Fähigkeit, die Kinder lernen sollten. Im Leben kann man sich schließlich nicht alles aussuchen. Aber wie sieht die "optimale Frustration" aus? Ab welchem Alter können Kinder Frustration überhaupt aushalten? Und wie schafft man es, die Bindung zum Kind dabei nicht kaputt zu machen? Fragen, die Mela sich auch jetzt schon mit ihrem Eineinhalbhalbjährigen stellt. Wie sie dem Kleinen erklärt, dass ihre Energie am Ende des Tages aufgebraucht ist und er doch bitte nicht mehr mit dem Essen wirft, mit welchen Sätzen sie ihn motiviert Dinge erstmal alleine zu probieren und woran sie merkt, dass er dadurch selbstbewusster wird, hört ihr in dieser Solofolge. Wie bringt ihr euren Kindern bei, dass Frustration zum Leben dazugehört? Lasst mal einen Kommentar da :)
Before our learners can independently manage their emotions, they need to first master co-regulation.

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.

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 11:09:14 +0000 https://zensibility.podigee.io/179-von-der-regulation-des-nervensystems 158a9b9ccac893a738c0ad2cd28ab3f5 Überlebenswichtiges Wissen - gerade bei Neurodivergenz Das Wissen über das Nervensystem: seine Funktionsweise und die Möglichkeiten der Regulation bzw. das Wissen wann Regulation gerade nicht mehr möglich ist sind essentiell für das überleben heutzutage. Hört sich dramatisch an, ist aber gerade im Leben mit Neurodivergenz purer Realismus. Es geht darum selbstwirksam sich selbst helfen zu lernen wo es geht und wo nicht andere zur Co-Regulation oder Unterstützung einzubinden um gesund am Leben zu bleiben. Gerade bei Kindern ist Selbstregulation oft noch nicht vorhanden bzw. mit Neurodivergenz verzögert oder gar nicht möglich zu erlernen. Für Kinder ist es deshalb besonders wichtig das Eltern und vor allem Bezugspersonen in Kita/Schule darüber über das Nervensystem und Regulation zumindest rudimentäre Bescheid wissen um für das Kind zu handeln und es zu lehren sich selbst zu regulieren. Die heutige Episode umfasst knappe Grundlagenwissen zum Nervensystem und viel darüber was, warum und wie es reguliert wird um das Energie-Stressmanagement möglich zu machen. Besondere persönliche Empfehlung, an der Stelle (unentgeltlich) der Kurse der Polyvagal-Akademie zum Thema Nervensystem-Grundlagen und/oder Autismus, die helfen das Gesamtsystem Mensch gesund zu erhalten. Bitte den Podcast inkl. Empfehlung wenn ihr es als sinnvoll erachtet gerne teilen, damit das Wissen darüber sich weiter und tiefer verbreiten kann! Danke in unser aller Namen

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.

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.

Posture: The parts of the brain that control the physical body (the inner Warrior) and the parts of the brain that operate in terms of emotions (the inner Artist) are tightly linked in the brain. Changes in one automatically trigger changes in the other. So, getting kids to become more aware of their posture, and to habitually adopt good posture, supports being in a positive emotionally state-of-mind. The art is being able to frequently help kids improve their posture without it becoming obnoxious. Co-Regulation: When you synchronize your nervous system and a client's nervous system. This is most easily done through high energy activities such as playing an active game together; however, it can also happen in quieter moments such as watching something engaging together. When kids co-regulate with a relatively organized adult, they are exercising the same parts of their brain that are involved in self-regulating. If they get skilled enough at self-regulation, they still may require treatment, but would no longer need to receive that treatment in an institutional setting. Empathic Listening: The goals of Empathic Listening are two-fold. The first is to create a co-regulating experience for the client. The second is to leave the client feeling like their feelings are understood by you. That's the heart of empathy – being able to feel what another person is feelings. There's seven steps to Empathic Listening: 1. Mirroring – match the client's general body language and speech (speed and tonality). Slightly lead the client toward lower and slower physiology and speech. 2. Intense listening – use body language, gestures, and small verbal cues to convey that you are intensely listening. One “trick” you can use to help yourself slip into conveying intense listening is to speak and carry yourself as if you were trying to memorize what the client is saying. 3. Ask clarifying questions in a non-judgmental fashion – convey that your interest is in understanding the client. Do not just repeat what the kid has said; rephrase the highlights or key points, taking care to not distort the meaning. a. Can I just clarify? You're saying that … b. Am I understanding you correctly; you're saying… c. Let me make sure I've got this right; you're saying … d. A lot of times people use the same word a little differently. What do you mean by… 4. Focusing on emotions – ask clarifying questions to inspire the client to share the emotional content of what they're saying. Take care to not tell kids how they are feeling. Often times, adopting an air of curious confusion can be helpful for getting kids to elaborate on their emotions. Adopting a non-judgmental tone is again crucial. Remember, feelings don't have to be logical, they just are. You're trying to get the client to talk about their feelings. a. When you said that made you “angry”… what do you mean by that? Is that something you feel in your body? b. When you say you're “upset”… I'm not sure I really know quite what you mean? Help me understand better…. c. When you say “it's unfair,” I could kind of guess at what exactly you mean, but I don't really want to guess. Could you explain that? 5. Avoid problem-solving – it can be incredibly tempting to steer the conversation into problem-solving. Don't do that. That shifts the kid from speaking from an emotional place to using the more analytical parts of the brain. That's a key point of Processing, which is a separate tool, from Empathic Listening. The goal of Empathic Listening is to create a sense of connection and a therapeutic alliance. It's much more powerful, and in most situations more therapeutic, to simply leave the client with a feeling of being understood, and sitting together with the feelings, than thinking that your role is to help them solve some problems. 6. Avoid the “empathizing equals agreeing with” trap – sometimes an Empathic Listening session can include a kid complaining about other adults. It is wise to be explicit that while you think you understand what they're saying, that doesn't necessarily mean that you agree with their characterizations of others. Done skillfully, if you've established a rapport, this distinction will be accepted by kids without breaking the rapport you've established. 7. Plug the client back into program structures – while it's not necessarily “wrong” to end an Empathic Listening session with Problem Solving, that can take away from the power of the Empathic Listening. Instead, it is often times preferable to end the session by acknowledging that the emotional issues that were shared are not something that can be solved, and then directing / assisting them to engage in whatever scheduled structures are currently the group's focus (e.g. “I really appreciate you sharing some really difficult feelings with me; I hope on some level you also found that helpful. I think the best thing to do now is to switch gears to the schedule, which right now would be bed prep.”).

We're taking a deeper dive into polyvagal theory & co-regulation because understanding our nervous system can aid in managing moments of panic or stress. Inside the episode:Polyvagal theory, proposed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges, simplifies the nervous system's response to threats into three states: fight, flight, and freeze. Unlike the common four-state model, which includes faun, freeze, and variations of fight or flight, Polyvagal theory focuses on these three primary states. Co-regulation, where calm signals from trusted individuals alleviate threat responses, is another method we can use to help get our brains and bodies back online. In professional settings, trusted colleagues or managers serve as co-regulators. Lack of co-regulation contributes to feelings of isolation and heightened stress in workplaces.When co-regulation isn't immediately available, individuals can employ retrospective techniques, recalling moments of safety and creativity to soothe their nervous systems. These practices, documented in an "SOS note," aid in re-regulation and problem-solving. Notably, the urge to rush through soothing processes impedes progress. Adhering to Phil Dunphy's adage from Modern Family— "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"—advocates for a deliberate, unhurried approach to achieving a calm, creative state conducive to problem-solving Homework: Make a SOS note.Think about that relaxed state where creativity has come to you. What were you doing? What were the conditions for this? Write that down so you can reference it when things are bad so you don't have to try and figure out how to feel better in that moment.
Kinder benötigen am Lebensanfang eine emotionale Unterstützung in ihrem Gefühlserleben, insbesondere dann, wenn der Wirbelsturm an Emotionen hohe Wellen schlägt. Voraussetzung für eine unterstützende Co-Regulation ist die Empathiefähigkeit, die durch die Aktivität unserer Spiegelneuronen ermöglicht wird. Über diese Fähigkeit können wir uns mit anderen verbinden, indem wir uns auf die Gefühlslage des Gegenübers einstimmen. Das Kind ist abhängig von einer solchen zwischenmenschlichen Interaktion. Sein Gefühlsspektrum will erlebt und entfaltet werden. Auf diesem aufregenden Ritt benötigen Kinder jemanden, der über die Nutzung der Körpersprache, Mimik und der verbalen Sprache ihr emotionales Erleben spiegelt und so haltgebend eine Orientierung über diese sogenannte Co-Regulation vorlebt. Dabei ist es bedeutend, dass sich das Gegenüber vom emotionalen Sog des Kindes lösen kann, indem es eine stabilisierende Präsenz einnimmt. Diese Fähigkeit der Selbstregulation können wir üben. Kinder geben uns hierfür ein breites Übungsfeld.Die Selbstregulation setzt die Fähigkeit der Differenzierung voraus. Konkret bedeutet dies, dass der emotionale Ausdruck des Kindes nicht als persönliches Versagen oder Kränkung gedeutet wird. Das Kind sendet über seinen Ausdruck ein Signal seines inneren Erlebens. Über den kindlichen Ausdruck wird immer auch etwas in uns als Eltern angerührt, werden eigene Erfahrungen unbewusst verknüpft und angeregt. Eine Bewusstseinsentwicklung hierfür ist bedeutend. Wir Erwachsenen besitzen diese kognitive Reflexionskompetenz, welche das Kind in seinem Heranwachsen erst noch entwickeln wird. So liegt es an uns Eltern zu differenzieren: Was gehört zu unserem eigenen emotionalen Lebensrucksack und was ist die emotionale Not des Kindes im Gegenwartsmoment? Über eine Beobachtung des eigenen inneren Erlebens entsteht ein Raum zwischen dem kindlichen Ausdruck und unserer Reaktion darauf. Dem impulsiven Reagieren, das die emotionale Wucht befeuert, wird so entgegengewirkt. Nicht immer gelingt das. Eltern sind mit den auftretenden Gefühlen, die mit dem kindlichen Ausdruck einhergehen oft überfordert. Das darf sein. In solchen Momenten benötigen auch wir jemanden, bei dem wir uns in unserer Not anlehnen können. Ein haltgebendes Gegenüber gibt uns als Erwachsene die Möglichkeit, belastende eigene Erfahrungen nachzunähren. Das kann der Partner oder die Partnerin, eine gute Freundin, ein guter Freund oder eine Fachperson sein. Offen zu sein, Unterstützung anzunehmen und sich eigenen emotionalen Verletzungen zuzuwenden, verändert. Denn die Fähigkeit zur Co-Regulation ist eine lebenslange Reise. Sie ist eine Quelle der Verbundenheit, des Wachstums und der Weiterentwicklung, sowohl für uns als auch für unsere Kinder.Buchtipp: Daniel J.

Linda K. Murphy is a speech language pathologist who has written two books, Declarative Language Handbook and Co-Regulation Handbook. I found her books wonderful in clarifying how language can either turn the volume up or down on anxiety. Imperative language, those questions or comments that demand a response can create stress or anxiety. In contrast, declarative or descriptive language can help your child achieve a more regulated and open state. In this conversation, we talk about the power of just describing or observing, rather than jumping into problem solving. In this approach, we can begin to avoid unproductive power battles and foster a more collobrative relationship with our children. For more information about Linda K.

AFAB Autism Assessment: PDA, and other Common Questions Answered Dr. Jessica Myszak, who provides autism assessments for late-diagnosed, high masking women answers the following questions: What is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance or Persistent/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy)? What does PDA look like? What is important to ask if someone wants to pursue a formal autism diagnosis? What are common comorbidities (as well as misdiagnoses) if one is autistic? Is it possible to manipulate or cheat an autism assessment or fool the assessor? What happens after one is diagnosed as autistic? GUEST Dr. Jessica Myszak, Licensed Psychologist HIGHLIGHTS What is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance or Pervasive/Persistent Drive for Autonomy? PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance, a subtype of autism that involves significant anxiety and demand avoidance. Many people with PDA prefer to call it Persistent or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy. PDA is a newly identified subtype of autism that can result in meltdowns or explicit behavior or just avoidance of everyday tasks. People with PDA often have a desire to have control in order to preserve their autonomy. PDA can be challenging to diagnose, and many people with PDA struggle to get a diagnosis. Strategies for managing PDA symptoms include recognizing triggers, reducing demands, and providing choices. People with PDA often work best in jobs where they have minimal oversight or control over their work. PDA is not a personal choice or behavior but rather a way that the brain works. It's a nervous system disorder/disability. Understanding PDA can help people with the condition and their loved ones cope with the challenges it presents. PDA is a complex condition that requires individualized treatment and support. What does PDA looks like? Everyday tasks can often result in meltdowns or explicit behavior or just avoidance of these types of demands in a variety of ways. PDA can be misdiagnosed as oppositional defiant disorder because people don't know what autism looks like. PDA is often characterized by a need for things to be in a certain order for a sense of stability. Children with PDA may have meltdowns, and PDA is often misdiagnosed as oppositional defiant disorder. Adults with PDA may struggle with social interactions, have difficulty with authority figures, and may have trouble with employment. PDA can present differently in different people, and there is no one-size-fits-all description of what it looks like. People with PDA may have a unique set of triggers and coping mechanisms that are specific to their individual experience. Understanding what PDA looks like can help people with the condition and their loved ones cope with the challenges it presents. Having another human to co-regulate with, can be instrumental for someone who is PDA. What is important to ask if someone wants to pursue a formal autism diagnosis? It's important to find a qualified professional who has experience diagnosing autism in high masking, late diagnosed adults. Ask how many AFAB (if relevant) the person has assessed. How do they assess for high masking and internalizing behaviors. Ask about the diagnostic process and what it entails, including any assessments or evaluations that will be used. Ask about the criteria for an autism diagnosis and what the professional will be looking for during the assessment. Inquire about the professional's experience working with adults or children with autism, depending on the age of the person seeking a diagnosis. Ask about the cost of the assessment and whether insurance will cover it. Inquire about any additional support or resources that the professional can provide after the diagnosis, such as referrals to therapists or support groups. Ask about the timeline for the assessment and when the results will be available. Inquire about any additional information or documentation that may be needed for the assessment, such as medical records or school reports. Ask about any potential barriers to getting a diagnosis, such as the need for a parent interview or other assessments that may be required. Inquire about the professional's approach to diagnosing autism and whether they take a person-centered approach that considers the individual's unique experiences and needs. Is it possible to manipulate the results of the autism assessments or fool the assessor? Dr. Myzak acknowledges that people with autism are often very good at masking their symptoms and may be able to manipulate an assessment to some extent. - However, she notes that many assessments have embedded validity measures that can help detect when someone is being overly negative or positive in their responses. Dr. Myzak emphasizes the importance of being authentic and honest during the assessment process, as this is the best way to get an accurate diagnosis and receive appropriate support. She also suggests that people who are concerned about being able to remember early signs of autism can do their own detective work by asking family members or friends for information. Dr. Myzak believes that it is important to trust her clients and take a person-centered approach to diagnosis, rather than relying solely on standardized assessments. Common comorbidities if one is autistic: Anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are common comorbidities of autism. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also frequently seen in individuals with autism. Depression and other mood disorders are more prevalent in people with autism than in the general population. Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a common comorbidity of autism, as many people with autism have difficulty processing sensory information. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, are more common in individuals with autism than in the general population. Gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), are more common in people with autism. Epilepsy and other seizure disorders are more prevalent in individuals with autism than in the general population. Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders are more common in people with autism. Intellectual disability is a common comorbidity of autism, although not all individuals with autism have intellectual disability. Other conditions that may co-occur with autism include allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders. What happens after an autism diagnosis? After an autism diagnosis, individuals and their families may work with healthcare providers to develop a treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and challenges. Treatment for autism may include a combination of therapies, such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills training. Medications may also be prescribed to help manage symptoms of autism, such as anxiety, depression, or hyperactivity. Individuals with autism may also benefit from support groups, educational programs, and other resources that can help them and their families better understand the condition and navigate daily life. It is important for individuals with autism to receive ongoing support and care, as their needs may change over time and new challenges may arise. Some individuals with autism may also be eligible for special education services or accommodations in school or the workplace. Families may also need to navigate insurance coverage and other financial considerations related to autism treatment and support. Ultimately, the goal of post-diagnosis care is to help individuals with autism lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, with the support and resources they need to thrive. GUEST BIO Dr. Jessica Myszak is a Chicago-area psychologist who specializes in autism assessment for both children and adults. Doing both in-person and telehealth evaluations in many states across the US, she has developed a niche in less-typical presentations of autism--autism in women, high-masking adults, and pathological demand avoidance (PDA). She also provides educational content on Tiktok about these topics. She is also the founder of the Autistic Support Network, a free private online community for members to share information and connect with other autistic adults.

In this week's episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Taylor Kulik, an advocate for families who choose not to sleep train their infants. Taylor is an occupational therapist turned holistic sleep consultant with a passion for non-toxic living, homeschooling, and snuggling babies all night. Years ago, Taylor was struggling with trusting what she knew was best for her children, and was consumed by fear-based parenting. This experience led to her passion for sharing her experiences and education with other parents who are going through the same journey to help lead them from fear to freedom.Today, Kelley and Taylor discuss the concept of self-soothing and how babies are not capable of self-regulation. Instead, babies are meant to co-regulate and borrow calm from a calm caregiver. They discuss how certain types of sleep training can raise cortisol levels in infants, insights on infant sleep and how to bed share safely, how co-sleeping benefits mental health for both parents and children, how to transition children into their own beds, and the most common reasons beyond children that adults aren't sleeping well or deal with insomnia.

Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hull discussed co-regulation of the brain and the importance of parent brain regulation while parenting a child on the autism spectrum who is dysregulated. When Dr. Holmes was researching co-regulation she wondered about this in marriages such as NDCC.Please check out part 1 to get a full discussion on the basics of co-regulation, as part 2 today will focus on co-regulation for spouses in a NDCC relationship.From Dr. Kevin Hull's blog, he defines co-regulation as:“What is co-regulation?” you may ask. Co-regulation is a neuro-relational phenomenon that occurs when two or more brains are in synchronous connection. Basically, the brains are in tune with one another. This attunement brings a sense of connection which translates into safety. Our brains consistently assess our environment for safety, and our senses are used to evaluate the appearance and behavior of others. Once the sense of safety is identified, there is a myriad of reactions that bring our level of arousal to match that of those around us. Here are some examples of co-regulation. Bio:Dr. Kevin Hull owns and operates Hull and Associates, P.A. a private practice in Lakeland, Florida. Dr. Hull is a licensed counselor who has worked with children and adolescents and their families on the Autism spectrum since 2001. He conducts weekly individual and group therapy sessions with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Dr. Hull has been a professor for 18 years and is currently an Associate Faculty with Liberty University. Dr. Hull has published Play Therapy and Asperger's Syndrome: Helping Children and Adolescents Grow, Connect, and Heal through the Art of Play (2011, Jason Aronson); Bridge Building: Creating Connection and Relationship between Parents and Children and Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum (2012, Liberty Press); Group Therapy Techniques with Children, Adolescents, and Adults on the Autism Spectrum (2014, Jason Aronson); and Where There is Despair, Hope (2015, Liberty Mountain Publishing), a novel about play therapy. He has also published several chapters for textbooks and journal articles. Dr. Hull specializes in using electronic devices in group and individual play therapy and his dissertation work examined the use of video/computer games as a play therapy tool with children with emotional difficulties. Dr. Hull enjoys open water swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, playing golf, long walks, biking, and spending time with his wife, Wendy and their four children. https://drkevinhull.com/

For many parents who are invested in strengthening their mindset, and expanding their toolbox, they forget two other main components: the hands, and the heart!

Everyone is a facilitator, whether consciously or unconsciously. In our relationships at all levels - professionally and personally - we are woven into, affected by, and affecting a web of relations. In this episode, I sit down with my dear brother, co-groover, and facilitator from Melbourne, Henry Fowkes. We explore the nuanced and little-spoken-of insights into facilitation and group-work. In this, we cover the terrain of embodied attunement, integrating authenticity and authority, the role of the body and its wisdom within facilitation. Henry is one full of cackles, stories packed with humility, and a genuine zest for discovery. Here we were, sitting in my bedroom, microphone listening in, sharing a brotherly, down-to-earth, and mutually curious conversation that we trust you'll take something for your medicine bag from. --Show-notes and links hereConnect with Al on InstagramConnect with Al on FacebookMusic by RhoneSupport the show (https://aljeffery.com/podcast/)
