The Q Coach Pod | Mindset Coaching for Handlers with Julie Bacon
You know those days when your timing is off, your focus is fuzzy, and your dog's picking up on something you can't quite name? That might not be mindset or nerves — it might be nervous system dysregulation. In this episode, Julie unpacks what regulation really means, how it affects performance, and why both you and your dog need support in this area. Includes a quick breakdown of the science, real-life examples, simple tools to get regulated, and a bonus riff on dopamine's role in all of this.
What if dysregulation isn't the problem? I know I know- that's really hard to wrap our brain around! At least, it was for me. In this episode, I continue the conversation from last week's interview with Deb Dana and take a deeper dive into one of her most powerful insights: that dysregulation is simply part of being human—and it's the absence of repair that becomes the real challenge.But I think for parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors, we need to pause and explore that a little more. Because- in your home- dysregulation is a real problem!!!In this episode, you'll learn:Why dysregulation is a natural part of being human, and how polyvagal theory reframes it with compassion and hopeThe difference between dysregulation itself and the behaviors that can emerge from itHow offering repair—even when it isn't received—can create powerful shifts in your child's nervous system and in your ownResources mentioned in this podcast:Polyvagal Theory as a Path to Hope: Regulation, Repair, and Connection with guest Deb Dana {EP 233}The Club – my online parent community with resources, events, and connections!!!!The Attachment Series - eBookFree Resource Library Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/polyvagalhope***Apply now for the BBTI's Immersion Program for Professionals!Read all the details about the program and submit your application at RobynGobbel.com/Immersion*** :::Grab a copy of my book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubApply for the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With) robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

Does it feel like no matter what you try—therapy, medication, behavior plans, or new routines—your child still can't calm down, stay focused, or manage big emotions? You're not alone—and you're certainly not failing as a parent.So many families come to me after trying everything, only to watch their child continue to spiral. That's when we stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause: a dysregulated nervous system.In this episode, I'm walking you through what actually works to create lasting change. From calming the brain and building emotional safety to using science-backed, sensory-based tools, you'll learn how to help your child regulate from the inside out.Why Doesn't Traditional Therapy Work for a Dysregulated Child?It's heartbreaking when therapy doesn't help, but the problem isn't the therapist—it's the timing. A dysregulated brain simply can't process insight.Talk therapy assumes the brain is ready to reason. But when kids are in chronic fight, flight, or freeze, that thinking part of the brain is offline.What Works Instead:Start with nervous system regulation—then therapy becomes effective.Use play, movement, and sensory input for younger or highly dysregulated kids.Don't expect meds to teach skills. They may reduce symptoms but don't build regulation.Regulation is a skill, not a switch. It develops with practice, connection, and safety—not punishment or over-verbalizing.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.What Brain-Based Tools Can Help Regulate Emotional Reactivity?You don't need a complicated treatment plan filled with charts, timers, or new rewards every week. What your child really needs is simple, brain-friendly tools used consistently—tools that calm the nervous system and support regulation from the inside out.The key is working with your child's biology, not against it. When the nervous system feels safe and supported, the brain becomes more flexible, and emotional reactivity begins to settle. That's when your child can finally start to pause, think, and respond—not just react.One powerful option is neurofeedback or PEMF therapy, which helps the brain learn how to shift into more regulated patterns over time. These tools gently retrain the brain for calm and focus, creating lasting changes without side effects.Daily breathwork and grounding exercises are another game-changer. Long, slow exhales activate the vagus nerve, signaling to the body that it's safe. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big impact.Here are a few simple grounding strategies to try:Lying flat on the floor to reconnect with the bodyTapping each arm gently in a slow, calming rhythmDoing a body scan before bed to release tension and improve sleepSensory integration activities are incredibly effective for resetting a dysregulated brain. These movements strengthen the communication between both sides of the brain and support mood, focus, and behavior.Try incorporating:Cross-body movements (like cross crawls or opposite elbow-to-knee taps)Rhythm games (clapping, drumming, or patterned jumping)Deep pressure input (weighted blankets, bear hugs, or joint compressions)Biofeedback is another helpful tool. It teaches kids how to control automatic...

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—especially if you have ADHD.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
When your child is constantly overwhelmed, melting down over transitions, or avoiding tasks altogether, it's easy to feel like they're just not trying. But the truth is much deeper than behavior. Their brain is likely dysregulated—and stuck in survival mode.Let's walk through what's really happening inside your child's brain when they can't focus, remember directions, or sit still… and what we can do to help them thrive.What Happens to the Brain When a Child Experiences Trauma or Chronic Stress?Trauma hijacks the nervous system. When a child experiences trauma or ongoing stress, their brain shifts into survival mode—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. This automatic response shuts down the very brain regions responsible for learning, focus, and behavior regulation.One of the first areas impacted is the prefrontal cortex, which governs executive functioning. When this part of the brain goes offline, your child may struggle with impulse control, organization, memory, and attention—not because they aren't capable, but because their brain is busy trying to stay safe.At the same time, the body floods with stress hormones like cortisol, keeping your child in a hypervigilant state. They may appear jumpy, on edge, or quick to react—because their nervous system is stuck in overdrive.Sensory input also becomes overwhelming, making even routine classroom activities feel chaotic or threatening. Transitions, bright lights, or loud sounds can easily trigger a shutdown or meltdown.Focus and memory decline when the brain is in survival modeImpulsivity and disorganization are signs the prefrontal cortex is offlineSensory overwhelm makes learning environments feel unsafeMeltdowns, avoidance, or zoning out are protective—not defiant—responsesReal-Life ExampleOne mom shared how her daughter would break down in tears every time math came up—not because she didn't understand the numbers, but because her nervous system went straight into panic mode. That fear of failure was rooted in earlier struggles that left her feeling ashamed and defeated.Once they shifted the focus to calming her brain first—with simple regulation strategies—her anxiety around math began to ease, and learning became possible again.What Does Emotional Dysregulation Look Like in the Classroom?Emotional dysregulation doesn't follow one script. It shows up in so many different ways—and that's exactly why kids get so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or mislabeled.

The very drive that pushes you to succeed might be steering you directly toward burnout, hormonal chaos, and chronic stress.My guest today, Dr. Mariza Snyder, knows this cycle intimately. She spent years running from childhood trauma, channeling that energy into becoming a hyper-efficient, top-achieving machine. This state of constant alert dysregulated her entire system, leading to the same symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain she saw in her perimenopausal patients. Except she was only 30.In today's episode, we explore how childhood experiences can wire our brains for a lifetime of hustle, why this leads to addiction to stress hormones like cortisol, and the deep mindset work required to finally get off the hamster wheel. You'll learn how to spot the signs of a dysregulated system and reclaim your calm with some powerful, in-the-moment tools."When you activate that stress response system many times a day to become more efficient in life, it's going to wear and tear on you." ~ Dr. Mariza SnyderAbout Dr. Mariza Snyder:Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, perimenopause and menopause expert, and the voice behind the top-rated Energized podcast with over 12 million downloads.

Emotional dysregulation is one of the most common but often misunderstood signs of trauma in children. And trauma isn't always obvious and the signs can be easy to miss at first—explosive outbursts, sudden shutdowns, anxiety, panic, or even unexpected perfectionism. For today's episode, we're diving into the link between trauma and emotional dysregulation. We'll talk about how trauma impacts a child's developing brain and behavior, what red flags to look for, and most importantly, what tools and therapies actually help kids feel safe and regulated again.How Does Trauma Affect a Child's Brain and Behavior?Trauma keeps a child's brain locked in survival mode—where logic goes offline and calm feels out of reach. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, even small stressors can feel huge. That's why a forgotten homework assignment or a simple change in routine can trigger a full-blown meltdown.Emotional dysregulation is often the first and loudest clue that something deeper is going on. With cortisol and adrenaline flooding their system, it's harder for kids to focus, connect, or calm themselves down.And trauma isn't always what you think. It doesn't have to be one big event. It can be chronic stress, bullying, emotionally unsafe environments, or even ongoing family conflict. Every child's brain responds differently—but all of it matters.And the good news is: you can help calm their brain and get them back to feeling safe.Real-Life ExampleOne mom noticed her 10-year-old suddenly refusing to go to school. She was crying over forgotten pencils, melting down over tiny mistakes, and nothing seemed to make sense. The first response she got? “It's just anxiety.” But after digging deeper, they discovered unresolved trauma from a recent car accident was at the root of it all.What you're seeing isn't misbehavior. It's a dysregulated brain doing exactly what it's designed to do: protect your child.You don't have to figure this out alone. Grab your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and learn exactly what to say and do in the heat of the moment.No more guessing. No more guilt. Just clear, step-by-step support to help your child—and yourself—stay calm.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletterTake the first step toward a more peaceful, connected home.What Are the Signs of Trauma-Based Behavior in Children?Trauma doesn't always look how you expect. It often shows up as behavior that seems “off,” extreme, or out of proportion.If your child's reactions feel too big for the moment—or they're constantly withdrawing, shutting down, or clinging to control—that's a sign their nervous system may be stuck in survival mode.Here are some of the most common trauma-linked behaviors:Explosive reactions to small stressors — what looks like overreacting is actually a brain that doesn't feel safe.Shutting down or emotionally withdrawing — especially in response to demands or social situations.Sudden perfectionism or people-pleasing — some kids try to avoid chaos by being “extra good.”Over-controlling behavior and obsessive thinking — unpredictability feels dangerous to a dysregulated brain.Emotional outbursts followed by guilt or shame — they're not trying to be dramatic; they're overwhelmed.Increased sensitivity to noise, touch, or change — these aren't overreactions, they're nervous system red flags.Behavior is communication. And when trauma overlaps with ADHD,...

Ever wondered why ADHD meltdowns seem so extreme and hard to manage? The answer lies in a crucial but often overlooked aspect of ADHD—emotional dysregulation—which surprisingly isn't even included in diagnostic criteria.We dive into some neuroscience behind these emotional challenges, exploring fascinating brain differences that explain why criticism can trigger an emotional tsunami in someone with ADHD. With approximately 80% of adolescents and adults with ADHD experiencing rejection-sensitive dysphoria, understanding these brain-based reactions transforms how we respond to emotional outbursts.Through a real-life parenting example about screen time limits, we demonstrate practical strategies for navigating boundaries without triggering meltdowns. You'll learn why co-regulation (bringing calm to emotional fire) works better than punishment, how to teach responsibility rather than enforce compliance, and why narrowing choices helps ADHD brains make decisions when they're paralyzed by too many options.Most importantly, we reframe discipline as teaching rather than punishment. The word "discipline" comes from "disciple," meaning to teach—and our goal should be equipping those with ADHD with skills to navigate their emotional landscape independently. We explain why consistency and repetition are crucial, and why working memory, long-term memory, and processing speed deficits (not just attention issues) create everyday challenges.Whether you're raising a child with ADHD or managing it yourself, this episode offers compassionate understanding alongside practical, science-backed strategies to transform your approach to emotional dysregulation.

In this episode, Kreed delves into the feelings of disrespect that parents often experience when their adult children assert their independence, linking these feelings to unresolved childhood traumas. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own emotional triggers and the need for healing to foster healthier relationships. Kreed encourages parents to reflect on their past experiences and to seek support in their journey towards emotional safety and connection with their children.TakeawaysThe feeling of disrespect often stems from unresolved childhood issues.Parents may interpret their adult child's independence as disrespect due to past experiences.Dysregulation in adult children can be misinterpreted as disrespect by parents.Control in parenting often arises from a desire for emotional safety.Respect demanded through control is actually fear-based, not love-based.Reactivity in parents can signal deeper emotional issues from their past.Self-regulation is a skill that can be learned and practiced.Estrangement can reveal underlying childhood wounds that need attention.Support and healing are crucial for both parents and children in estranged relationships.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)THE HEART COLLECTIVEEstranged Moms ONLY - https://theheartcollective.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/estranged-momsReconciled Moms ONLY - https://theheartcollective.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/estranged-heart-membersTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

189 (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 190) Being a highly sensitive person obviously means we are more sensitive than others. This has real ramifications in our love lives— both wonderful and challenging. Listen in to this VERY revised (almost totally new) version of an older topic, where you will learn that, luckily, you can support your sensitive self in ways that amplify the best parts of your sensitivity, and make the challenges of it so much easier. . . .and how this will involve caretaking your sensitive Mind Body Heart System, (starting with your nervous system) MORE deeply and consistently than non-HSPs (like it or not!).In other words, even if you resist the idea, the truth is, in order to have an intimate relationship (and life) that feels deeply satisfying, nourishing, and fulfilling as an HSP, you need to attend more to your emotional well-being and nervous system regulation than non-HSPs. In this episode you will hear my own story around this, and how, as I've accepted this, and learned how to caretake my sensitive nervous system (and sensitive mind, body, heart, and emotions), I've fallen in love with doing it. AND how doing so changed EVERYTHING for the better forever in my love life.This can be true for you, too. You'll also learn:why love and marriage can be so hard as HSP without truly caretaking your sensitive system in the right wayswhy accepting your higher need for emotional caretaking can be difficult, and why it's more than worth it to do sothe 4 simple but essential foundational steps to get started with right away to be able to truly caretake your sensitive systemAnd the best way to truly regulate the most foundational aspect of your emotional well-being (your nervous system) so you can always be able to guide yourself back to that calm, steady, connected-to-your-heart-and-wisdom place from which you'll best relate to your significant other in ways that lead to the deepest connection, love, and collaboration, and the most fulfilling intimacy. Without this emotional tending, the kind of relationship you most want – full of love, lightheartedness, attraction, effective and connecting communication, and mutual supportiveness – is likely to remain elusive.But with it? You set the stage for what can feel like magic to happen in your relationship. Dive in to begin.SHOW NOTES:Take the Dysregulation quiz in the next episode (190) via podcast (it's live!), or here in written format.Learn all about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being Course; The Root Of A Better Relationship here.

190 I made you a special short quiz to determine the level of dysregulation in your unique nervous system. (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 189, so I highly recommend listening to it first, or after you take the quiz.)Why should you take it? Because as highly sensitive people (and really, as just regular human beings on this planet in these modern times), our nervous systems are often chronically dysregulated.And this has a major impact in a not-so-great way on our lives in general and especially on our relationships. So you need to understand if you have a nervous system that is dysregulated chronically or that tends to get easily dysregulated.Unfortunately this can happen even more easily for us than non-HSPs. When we are dysregulated, we react more strongly than we normally would, in one way or another, and that leads to much more drama, much more struggle in our relationships, and a lot less clear, effective communication, a lot less getting through to our spouses, and being able to really hear each other, a lot less open-heartedness and connection, and a lot less feeling the mutual supportiveness and sense of being on the same team.So there really are many different ways that nervous system dysregulation can show up to the detriment of your relationship and to the detriment of your life in general.And you do want to know if it is happening for you so that you can make the necessary changes. Because that's the really good news: you have so much sway over your nervous system regulation or dysregulation. It just can take a little bit of learning and attention to it.Dive in now with pen and paper in hand.SHOW NOTES:Take the Dysregualtion quiz here in written format.Learn all about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being Course; The Root Of A Better Relationship here.

What we call “bad behavior” in schools isn't the issue, control is. In this episode of The Resistance, I peels back the layers on why students resist, refuse, and retreat in classrooms and why that resistance is sacred. From pit schools to secret marriages, enslaved Africans modeled resistance in big and small ways. Today, our students are doing the same.If you're an educator constantly asking “Why won't they just listen?” this episode is for you. “Our students are the descendants of people who resisted with their entire being. Why are we surprised when they do the same?”Resources + Links: Join the Ten Toes Down Summer MastermindBecome a Liberation Library MemberFollow Me on InstagramWatch the slavery classroom lesson mentioned in this episode

In this episode, I'm sharing a recent discovery about a "program" that runs in my brain when I'm feeling unsafe: the belief that I need to do MORE to fix it and reach safety. But the truth is, doing more & more & more only heightens my stress and anxiety—and makes me feel very, very unsafe. I'm talking about a framework and perspective on what actually reinforces the experience of safety—not to fix the problem at hand, but to close the loop on the "I'm not doing enough" program itself.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about... What to do when your toddler spirals from silly to overstimulated in seconds. Unpacking the difference between dysregulation and high arousal—and why this distinction matters. Strategies parents can use to share joyful, silly and playful moment with your sensitive child without overwhelming them. If you stop being so silly and fun, is that over-accommodating and bowing down too much to your child without teaching them that they need to handle this? When these stimulation meltdowns happen, what you can do to recover. How you can build your child's tolerance for the silliness while modulating the intensity to help you. How a playful response can also help move you out of a shame response. Is there a different strategy to use if this high arousal overwhelm comes from a more fun and silly moment versus you losing your cool and yelling? REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

Children's behaviors are often viewed through a lens of judgment—disobedient, defiant, or disrespectful—leading to quick conclusions and punishments. However, this perspective doesn't tell the whole story. More often than not, these behaviors are signs of deeper emotional or neurological struggles, not intentional misbehavior. By reframing how we view behavior, we open the door to greater connection and understanding with our children. Let's explore why we need to rethink "bad behavior" and how understanding its roots can transform how we respond, creating opportunities for healing, growth, and deeper emotional connections.Not sure where to start?

Send us a textWhat looks like resistance is often dysregulation in disguise—showing up as avoidance, blame, or burnout. We talk all the time about helping kids manage their emotions, but what about adults? When adults become dysregulated, their brains shift from thoughtful decision-making to fight-or-flight mode, sabotaging effective communication and clear thinking. Kim Hall breaks down exactly what's happening during these moments and shares a simple, powerful strategy to hit the “calm the heck down” button—helping you move from knee-jerk reactions to intentional responses. Because as coaches and leaders, we can't effectively support our beautiful educators and students until we've regulated ourselves first. The Whole Educator is now booking for the 2025–2026 school year—keynotes, PD, and our Human Centered Academy are all designed to turn resistance into real progress.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about... Simple, effective emotion regulation strategies that actually work for 6-year-olds when disappointment over losing takes over—and how to use them in a way that feels supportive, not controlling. When to step in and what to say—a breakdown of the best parenting approaches before, during, and after a game to help your child manage big feelings in the moment (and build skills for the future). The secret to teaching good sportsmanship outside of game time—why some of the most powerful lessons happen when no one's keeping score. How the exact same words you say to your child can be either validating and invading - and what makes the difference so you can avoid the latter. How to keep things fun while still building resilience—because not every moment needs to be a teaching moment (and knowing when to step back is just as important). Unpacking the root drive of competitiveness in children so you know how to best channel this toward healthy and socially acceptable behaviors. ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:
Do you find yourself feeling dysregulated more often than you'd like? Dr. Amber Thorton, licensed Clinical Psychologist, is on the show today to talk with us about how we can recognize and work with the different triggers that can set us off. If you are someone who tends to stress about worst case scenarios that “might” happen, she has some tips for you. Or maybe you dread the infamous 2nd shift of parenthood; that time between school/daycare and bedtime? Dr. Thornton shares some strategies to help us cope with the overwhelm that can come at that time of day. She leaves us with realistic expectations we should be setting for ourselves and reminds us that at the end of the day, we aren't going to be able to meet every single one of our child's needs, and that's okay.
