A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
The answer lies in the nervous system. When a child's brain is in “survival mode,” even small stressors can feel huge. That's why these exercises are designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the body's natural "calm and connect" state.No fancy equipment required. These therapeutic exercises are simple, science-backed ways to help children and teens regulate emotions and build emotional balance. The more consistently you practice them, the more emotional regulation skills improve over time.Let's walk through the top 5 therapeutic exercises to improve emotional regulation skills in children and teens.Why Does My Child Struggle With Emotional Regulation?Many kids today are stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Their nervous system is overreactive, which means even small stressors can trigger intense emotional reactions. And when that system never gets a chance to reset, emotional self-regulation becomes nearly impossible.
What if the edge you're searching for isn't outside of you—but already within? I sit down with Gina Tucci-Karnisovas—mental strength coach and former competitive athlete—to explore the often-overlooked drivers of sustainable performance: breath, presence, visualization, and grounded confidence. Gina shares how embracing both “white belt curiosity” and “black belt strength” helped her navigate intense performance anxiety and how that mindset now shapes her work with elite athletes and high performers. We get into what real confidence looks like, how to stay calm under pressure, and why mental fitness is just as essential as physical training—if not more.

Send us a textComfort is slowly killing us, but we don't even recognize it as an addiction. What happens when society's most celebrated coping mechanisms become our greatest chains? In this transformative episode, I pull back the curtain on the socially acceptable addictions that hide in plain sight: food and alcohol. These aren't stereotypical addictions – they're the wine moms at PTA meetings, the neighbors hosting barbecues, the coworkers bringing donuts, all numbing themselves with substances we collectively celebrate.The neuroscience tells a clear story: food and alcohol hijack the same brain pathways, creating powerful dopamine loops that keep us coming back despite the consequences. I share my personal journey through these dependencies, revealing how childhood conditioning, identity attachment, and cultural pressure maintain our comfortable prison of numbing behaviors. The most dangerous lie? That moderation proves we're not addicted.Breaking free requires more than willpower – it demands replacing numbing habits with regulation practices and confronting the emotions we're desperately avoiding: shame, loneliness, rejection, and boredom. My two months on the carnivore diet after years of sobriety have shown me what clarity and presence truly feel like, but the path wasn't easy. When you change, expect resistance from everyone comfortable with your former self.The ultimate goal isn't just avoiding substances but creating a life so fulfilling you don't need to escape from it. Take one step today – whether that's seeking community support, establishing accountability, or simply choosing presence over numbness. Subscribe to join me on this journey toward authentic living, and remember: there's nothing more powerful than building a life worth staying present for.

The truth is, early parenting choices, like sleep training and letting babies cry it out, can affect how their brain and body develop for years to come. Many well-meaning parents follow these popular methods, only to see their kids later struggle with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues that seem to come out of nowhere. That's because early attachment and nervous system development shape a child's mental health in ways we don't always see. Everything that happens in the first years of life, from how you respond to your baby's cries to how connected they feel, helps build their brain, nervous system, and their ability to feel safe and calm. Even common parenting habits can create hidden stress, making it harder for children to grow into resilient, emotionally healthy adults. In this episode, Dr. Darcia Narvaez joins Dr. Aimie to talk about what babies really need for healthy brain development, emotional safety, and attachment. You'll also learn how parents and practitioners can begin to repair early childhood trauma and help heal the nervous system, no matter the age. You'll hear about: How sleep training and crying it out disrupt a baby's developing nervous system The link between early separations and anxiety, depression, and attachment issues later in life How your own childhood experiences influence your health, relationships, and parenting style Practical ways to rebuild connection and help your child's nervous system heal Why the vagus nerve is essential for emotional regulation in children How common newborn medical procedures can cause lasting trauma Why children need love and connection, not constant performance for approval Whether you're a practitioner wanting to understand how early attachment trauma affects adult clients, or a parent looking for nervous system regulation techniques and coregulation strategies to support your child, this episode offers science-backed insights and practical tools you can use right away. Dr. Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame. She is the co-founder of the public and professional educational outreach project the Evolved Nest Initiative whose nonprofit mission is to share her science research into developing appropriate baselines for lifelong human wellness and providing guidelines for fostering full human potential.

In this episode, Lauren explores what it really means to regulate in the midst of everyday chaos. Building on the Five Ives framework she and her partner developed, she explains why common strategies like breathwork or meditation often fall flat when we are overwhelmed and in survival mode. Regulation, she reminds us, is not about staying calm all the time. It is about noticing when we are dysregulated and learning how to recover quickly and effectively.Lauren shares practical, real world tools that do not require extra time, just a shift in intention. From humming in the car to squeezing your toes while standing in line, she offers simple ways to pair regulation with routines you already have. Whether you are barely making it to lunch or trying to prevent burnout, this episode offers accessible, meaningful strategies that meet you right where you are.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:How to Get Kids to Cooperate without Power StrugglesWhat Happens When Consequences BackfireHelping Children Catch your Calm with Nervous System RegulationChaos to ConnectionPart 2: Behavior isn't the ProblemPart 1: Behavior isn't the ProblemHive- The Last Stage of the Five IvesThrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?Our Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey.

Do you feel like your body is always on high alert? Does emotional stress lead to a racing heart, skin breakouts, or stomach problems? If you're an empath or highly sensitive person (HSP), you might be experiencing mast cell activation, and it's more common than you think. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explores the hidden biology behind why sensitive people get sick from stress. Here's what's happening: Your body has special immune cells called mast cells. They act like security guards. But after trauma or chronic stress, these cells can become overreactive. They can treat everyday experiences like threats, even normal conversations or emotional triggers. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your body treats emotional stress like a physical emergency How your immune system gets stuck in “danger mode” (and why it's not your fault) How to naturally calm an overactive nervous system Supplements for mast cell activation Dr. Aimie's favorite technique that resets your nervous system How blood sugar levels affect emotional reactivity Simple daily habits to support nervous system healing Whether you're someone who feels emotionally or physically drained after social interactions, a practitioner absorbing clients' trauma, or someone who seems to absorb energy from others, this episode will give you practical tools to feel safer in your body and break the cycle of overwhelm.

In this episode, I explore what it really means to let go—from a nervous system perspective, not just a spiritual one. We're often told to “detach” or “just let it go,” but when you're clinging to something for survival—be it a relationship, money, validation, or identity—that kind of advice feels impossible, even cruel.I share how attachment strategies develop from early childhood experiences, how they shape the way we hold on (often desperately), and what it looks like to gently shift into a place of self-trust and inner safety. This isn't about bypassing or rushing—it's about meeting the part of you that's clinging with compassion, nervous system awareness, and time.Whether you're navigating the end of a relationship, a big transition, or just feel stuck in a loop of longing and fear, this episode offers a grounded, embodied path forward.David Ghiyam Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-david-ghiyam-podcast/id1775548374❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥Join HeartSpace monthly community with a free trial: https://marinayt.com/community❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rootedFollow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/marina.y.t Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"The part of you that's clinging was born for a reason—it helped you survive.

Dr. Jon Finn wrote his best-selling book ‘The Habit Mechanic' (which took him over 20 years) because his life's mission is to help people to be their best in the challenging modern world.He founded the award-winning Tougher Minds consultancy and has three psychology-related degrees, including a PhD. He has worked in performance psychology, resilience, and leadership science for over 20 years. He also writes regularly for Forbes.Tougher Minds uses cutting-edge insights from psychology, behavioural science, neuroscience, and world champions to help organisations develop “Habit Mechanics” and “Chief Habit Mechanics”—resilient people, outstanding leaders, and world-class teams.Having trained and coached over 10,000 people, Dr. Finn, and his colleagues, work with global businesses, high-growth startups, individuals, elite athletes, coaches and teams, leading educational institutes, families, the UK government, and think tanks.In this episode, Dominic explores AI's impact on the workforce and the journey of integrating AI into behavioural science and habit formation. Inspired by Geoffrey Hinton's work on neural networks, learn how blending traditional methods with cutting-edge AI enhances understanding of brain function and behaviour. Dr. Jon shares the concept of brain states - recharge, medium-charge, and high-charge - and how AI can revolutionise workflows by automating routine tasks and co-working with humans on complex tasks. Looking forward, we explore the concept of creating high-performing human-AI teams, guiding individuals and businesses toward harmonious collaborations with AI, enabling unprecedented speed and efficiency in achieving goals.DiscoverAutomatic Thinking: Human thoughts and behaviours are largely driven by automatic or semi-automatic processes. This is influenced by biases and past experiences, which affect the ability to generate truly conscious and unbiased ideas.Emotional Regulation in Athletes: In elite sports, the ability to regulate emotions plays a pivotal role in determining whether young athletes maintain or lose their professional status as they age.Effort and Performance: Sustained success in any field relies on consistent effort, ongoing learning, and the ability to perform effectively under pressure, particularly in challenging or high-stakes situations.Training Gaps in Mental Performance: While athletes typically receive extensive training in physical, technical, and tactical aspects, they often lack structured training on understanding and improving their cognitive and emotional processes.Risks from AI in the Workplace: AI is disrupting workplace roles that involve medium-energy tasks, and people unable to adapt or up-skill are at risk of being replaced. Emotional regulation and the ability to shift to higher-performance states are critical for adapting to these changes.
You shape your emotional experiences SO deeply. Even if you can't see it now, even if it feels like your partner is the main shaper of how you feel in your relationship, even if it seems like you are often emotionally at the effect of the world. YOU, in fact, are the #1 source of your own emotions.This is the best news EVER. Because it means you have so much more power over how you feel in your relationship--and how the relationship goes-- than you've ever known. It's time to learn to access this power--what I call Emotional Agency. (Think of this as a follow-up episode to the last episode, Emotional Delegation 101. Although they go together, you can listen to either one first.)In this episode, you'll delve deep into the details of where your emotions really come from (likely not where you've always assumed they come from). And you'll hear many concrete examples to illustrate this essential teaching and make it clear as daylight, so you can:develop a whole new, way more empowered relationship with your emotions. start to soften, influence, and guide your emotions, regardless of outside circumstancesStart to feel way less disappointment, resentment, frustration and upset, and WAY MORE ease, love, lightness, and closeness, so you can naturally make your marriage how you want it to be.It all starts by being truly open to understanding the real source of your feelings. Everything will get better once you really understand and live this. So dig in to really get this life and love-transforming understanding.SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

Conflict is part of every relationship, but how we handle it is what really matters.In the final episode of our mini-series with cognitive neuroscientist Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa, we're diving into what's actually happening in your brain during conflict, and how your patterns, reactions and even past experiences can shape the way you argue, avoid, or shut down.We unpack the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict, how to stop reacting on autopilot, and the small communication shifts that can lead to stronger, more secure relationships.Whether you avoid conflict at all costs or tend to meet it head-on, this episode is full of practical tools to help you navigate tough conversations with more self-awareness and a little less drama.More from Alexis: @alexisfernandezpreiksaFollow us: @movewithus | @racheljdillon

In this episode, Kamini Wood delves into emotional regulation, defining it as the ability to intentionally manage one's emotional reactions rather than controlling them. She explains that emotional dysregulation occurs when the nervous system interprets situations as threats, pushing us into fight, flight, or freeze mode, even when there's no life-threatening danger. Poor emotional regulation can significantly impact relationships by eroding emotional safety, hinder career success by affecting perceptions of capability, and negatively affect physical health through chronic stress. Kamini offers practical tools for emotional regulation, including box method breathwork (inhaling for four, holding for four, exhaling for four, pausing for four) and grounding techniques that engage the five senses. She also suggests mindfulness practices like pausing to acknowledge feelings without judgment and identifying needs. Kamini stresses that emotional regulation is about managing emotional expression, not suppressing emotions, and is a continuous practice of self-care and self-leadership that can transform relationship dynamics.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges. HIGHLIGHTS · We often need to recharge after overstimulation. · Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. · It's important to communicate needs in friendships. · Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. · Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. · Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. · Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. · Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. · We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. · It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us. SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you. CHAPTERS 00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia 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 podcast Unapologetically Sensitive 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.

In this culturally timely episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with Jacob Spehar—licensed mental health and addiction counselor and founder of Courageous Way Counseling. Together, they unpack the concept of “Death by Distraction”—how our dependence on screens, overstimulation, social media, hustle culture, and avoidance behaviors are not only numbing us but quietly stealing our joy and dismantling our families, physical and mental health, spiritual connection, and connections to one another. Jake shares both clinical insights and practical tools for interrupting the dopamine loops, rewiring your life with intention, and simplifying your environment for healing and joy. Jamie gets vulnerable about her own struggles, and together, they explore what it really takes to step off the conveyor belt and start living. Expect raw call outs, practical ideas, and a push for radical change - starting with bold, countercultural choices. This episode invites you to slow down and start leading your life and family with presence and purpose. You're not powerless. Start small. Go countercultural. It only seems hard until you do it. It only seems weird until everyone else starts doing it, too. Topics Covered: Screen addiction, social media, dopamine dysregulation Time as our most valuable and fleeting asset Trauma as a root cause The link between distraction and self-medication Parenting and restoring the family unit Men's mental health and community Why family meals, boredom, and silence matter Reclaiming mornings for neuroplasticity and spiritual alignment The invisible cost of overcommitment, youth sports, and the hustle How boundaries, presence, and “no” create better outcomes Resources Mentioned: Find a PHWC or NTP The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Codependent No More.

What to listen for:"I care about my dog's emotional state, how they're feeling, and how confident they are. And I work on that a lot."Two-thirds of the Dames of Detection, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing, sit down with obedience trainer Petra Ford, who unpacks the importance of seeing dogs as individuals, not assumptions!Real progress, she says, starts when you stop correcting and start connecting.Petra shares how letting go of labels like “nervous” transformed her relationship with her dog Zeal—and how trainers often project past experiences onto new dogs without realizing it. She encourages slowing down and objectively observing, not assuming. Each dog deserves to be seen for who they are, not who came before them.Through her work with a neurologically atypical dog, Petra developed calming strategies rooted in deep pressure, similar to techniques used for autistic children. These evolved into arousal “thermostat” cues that help her dogs self-regulate and perform with clarity and joy.Petra's training is driven by curiosity and persistence. She doesn't rely on recipes—she adapts, explores, and adjusts until the dog understands. Whether teaching a front or building confidence under ring pressure, her dogs learn through games, not grind. They don't just perform on command—they actually want to succeed, themselves.At the core of Petra's philosophy is respect: for the dog's emotional state, for their individuality, and for the bond they share. Titles may come, but the real reward is the connection.Because in the end, as Petra reminds us, training isn't about forcing the dog to meet our goals. The best trainers don't mold the dog to fit the plan—they mold the plan to fit the dog.Key Topics:Reframing "Nervous" Dogs and Letting Go of Labels (06:46)Using Deep Pressure for Emotional Regulation (14:21)Teaching Arousal Cues and Emotional Balance (16:58)Fitness, Recovery, and Mental Breaks (21:58)The Art of Adapting Your Training Strategy to the Dog (33:07)Why Listening to the Dog Matters Most (36:21)Creating Joy in Precision: Obedience as Play (41:10)Working Through Pressure, Not Against It (42:57)From Zero Confidence to Mental Mastery (49:45)Resources:Petra Ford on FENZIPetra Ford on FacebookJane Savoie - It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding (and Life) with a Winning Attitude (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Hey team welcome to another episode of Hacking Your ADHD Im your host, William Curb and this week we're starting a new series on the show, Research Recaps with Skye Waterson. In this series we're going to be taking a look at a single research paper and diving into what the paper says, how it was conducted and any practical take aways. In this first episode of the series we're going to be exploring a paper called Emotional regulation as a core symptom of ADHD. As this is a new series we're going to be figuring out what works and what doesn't and I'd love to hear what y'all think of it, so if you have thoughts head on over to Hackingyouradhd.com/contact and let me know. New episodes of research recap will be coming out every other Friday. All right, let's get on with the show.

Send us a textAfter years of chasing external definitions of success, I've completely transformed the Successful Life Podcast to focus on what truly matters: recovery from addiction, freedom from limiting habits, and authentic personal growth. This isn't about how much we can achieve or how much money we make—it's about waking up clear-headed, staying emotionally regulated, and building a life of integrity.My own journey has been marked by struggles with addiction, wearing different masks for different people, and pretending everything was fine when it wasn't. Though I quit drinking nearly 16 years ago, I switched to cannabis until March 2023. Today, two years fully sober, I've discovered practices that genuinely move the needle in my life: rising at 3:45 am when my brain functions optimally, daily gym sessions, ice baths that reset my nervous system, and a carnivore diet that's dramatically improved my mental clarity and physical health.The carnivore approach—eating only meat, eggs, and cheese—has transformed my energy, eliminated my need for ADHD medication, and helped me shed 12 pounds to reach 8% body fat. But the physical benefits pale compared to the mental clarity and emotional stability I've gained. When combined with recovery principles and consistent self-discipline, this lifestyle has allowed me to show up authentically for myself, my family, and my team at work.If you're struggling with addiction, poor habits, or feeling lost, know that transformation is possible. As they say in recovery, "You don't walk ten miles into the woods and get out in two"—healing takes time, but it begins with a single step today. Join me weekly as we explore what truly creates a successful life with upcoming guests including bodybuilder Tony Freeman and Jared the Plumber.

Arguments escalate into relationship disasters daily. Trial attorney Jefferson Fisher shares courtroom tactics he uses to turn conflict into connection!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1181What We Discuss with Jefferson Fisher:Use time to regulate emotions in conflict. Take a breath before responding and slow down your speech. This prevents escalation and keeps you in control rather than entering "ignition mode" where you say things you regret.Every person has surface and depth, and hostile behavior often masks deeper struggles. Asking "What's your biggest struggle?" can transform confrontational situations into connection.Approach conversations with "something to learn" not "something to prove." When you try to win arguments, you lose relationships. Focus on understanding rather than being right to achieve better outcomes.Handle interruptions strategically. Let them interrupt once, resume where you left off without acknowledging their interruption, then address it directly if they interrupt again: "I can't hear you when you interrupt me."Show you're listening with one simple question. Before sharing your own story or response, ask one follow-up question about what they just shared. This makes people feel heard and valued in conversation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.
