Podcast appearances and mentions of Gordon Neufeld

Parenting doesn't need to swing between being overly strict and overly permissive. When you understand what's driving your child's behaviour, everything becomes clearer, calmer, and more manageable. I am talking to psychotherapist and parenting coach Todd Sarner about transformative parenting and how to raise resilient, emotionally secure children. We cover attachment, boundaries, emotional regulation, and how small shifts in your approach can reduce daily struggles and create more connection at home. Todd and I talk about: • Why behaviour is often a symptom of unmet emotional needs, not defiance• How to move away from reactive parenting and become more proactive• What “attachment-first parenting” actually looks like in everyday life• How to set firm, calm boundaries without yelling or being harsh• What to do when your child is pushing limits, melting down, or acting out• Why emotional outbursts are a sign your child needs support, not control• How to support your child through big emotions without escalating the situation• Practical strategies to help your child build resilience and emotional regulation• Simple self-care tools to help you stay calm and respond instead of react Todd Sarner is a licensed psychotherapist, a parenting coach and the director of Transformative Parenting. Mentored by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and trained by leading relationship experts Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Stan Tatkin, Todd helps parents strengthen connection, improve emotional regulation, and address behaviour challenges using practical, attachment-based strategies. His signature Transformative Parenting Process Intensive (TPPI) has become a lifeline for thoughtful parents who've “tried everything” but still find themselves stuck in daily battles. Todd is the author of The Calm & Connected Parent: An Attachment-First Guide to Raising Resilient Kids in the Age of Screens and AI.

What happens in the deepest moments of Stage 2 EFT work? In this special roundtable episode of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosts Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Rana sit down with three pioneers in EFT process research and training: Dr. Jim Furrow, Dr. Kathryn Rheem, and Dr. Marlene Best. Together, they unpack the heart of Stage 2 change events in EFT: withdrawer re-engagement, pursuer softening, therapeutic presence, fear, longing, attachment risk, and the healing power of vulnerable reach-and-response moments. This conversation is more than theory. It is a masterclass in how therapists help clients move from talking about emotion to speaking from emotion. The group explores how fear and longing work together, why vulnerability requires both courage and safety, and how the therapist's emotional presence becomes the bridge that helps clients risk connection. You'll hear powerful reflections on: Why fear must become experiential in Stage 2 The difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 emotional work How longing creates movement through fear Why enactments are essential for deep limbic revision The therapist's role in co-regulating attachment risk How healing becomes more powerful than hurt in secure connection This episode is rich with clinical wisdom, emotional depth, and heartfelt reflections from some of the leading voices who helped shape modern EFT. If you're an EFT therapist wanting to deepen your Stage 2 work—or simply someone passionate about emotional connection and healing relationships—this is an episode you will want to revisit again and again. In This Episode The Origins of Stage 2 EFT Research The guests reflect on the early development of EFT process research and how their studies on pursuer softening and withdrawer re-engagement helped therapists better understand the moment-to-moment dynamics of attachment transformation. Fear vs. Speaking From Fear The conversation explores the difference between naming fear cognitively versus helping clients experientially contact fear in the present moment. Longing and Fear Work Together Dr. Marlene Best shares her now-famous insight that longing must move through fear for attachment change to occur. The group discusses how longing creates movement and momentum toward vulnerable reach. Therapeutic Presence as Co-Regulation Dr. Jim Furrow highlights that clients cannot stay emotionally present to fear unless therapists bring their own grounded emotional presence into the room. Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 Emotional Work The panel clarifies the crucial difference between: accessing primary emotion in Stage 1 restructuring attachment through view of self/view of other in Stage 2. Healing Is More Powerful Than Hurt Dr. Kathryn Rheem closes with a moving reflection on how humans are wired both to hurt and to heal—and how vulnerable connection transforms emotional suffering into secure attachment. Key Clinical Takeaways Fear is not the enemy in Stage 2—it is the doorway. Longing creates movement through attachment fear. Therapists must bring their presence before asking clients to bring theirs. Enactments help clients move from insight into embodied relational experience. Stage 2 is about restructuring view of self and view of other. Healing occurs when fear is shared relationally. Withdrawers often access sadness and loss before fear. Pursuer softening requires risk, surrender, and emotional reach. Emotional safety grows through repeated vulnerable experiences. Deep limbic revision requires deep experiential contact. Best Quotes from the Episode “We don't just talk about fear in Stage 2—we speak from fear.” “If you want someone to be present to their fear, you need to bring your presence.” “Longing has to move through the fear.” “The therapist's regulation becomes the emotional scaffolding for the couple.” “Stage 2 is not just emotional access—it's restructuring attachment.” “Fear reshapes our priorities and tells us not to reach when we most need connection.” “The healing becomes more powerful than the hurt.” “The goal isn't to eliminate fear. The goal is to reach while fear is still present.” “Therapists often drive past view of self and view of other instead of slowing down and exploring them.” “We heal when vulnerable experience becomes relationally shared.” “The deeper the longing, the deeper the fear.” “People pull away from love when they're terrified of losing it.” “Healing happens when someone risks reaching and another person responds.” “Fear says ‘don't reach.' Love says ‘try anyway.'” “We all want someone who can help us carry what feels too heavy alone.” “The strongest relationships aren't fear-free—they're responsive in the presence of fear.” “Behind anger and distance is often grief, fear, and longing.” “Secure connection grows when people can finally share what they were afraid to reveal.” “You don't heal by never hurting again. You heal by no longer hurting alone.” “The courage to be emotionally honest changes relationships.” EFT World Summit 2027 We wanted to let you know that the EFT World Summit 2027 is coming to Vancouver — May 9 to 11, 2027 — and we would love to see you there.

Parenting feels so much harder than it should and this conversation explains why. In this powerful and unforgettable episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Gordon Neufeld to talk about a critical shift that has changed childhood over the past many decades: kids turning to peers instead of parents for guidance, identity, and belonging. Drawing from his book Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld shows why no parenting strategy can replace relationship, why independence has been misunderstood, and why the real work is getting your child's heart back. This one will change how you see behavior, discipline, screens, and even the pressure to “socialize” kids and it will leave you with a deep sense that it's not too late to rebuild what matters most.

Welcome to the Parenting Well podcast with Parent Engagement Network!  I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host and today's well source is Melissa Holland. Melissa Holland is a parenting coach, founder of Inner Wisdom Parenting, and a PEN Ambassador at SHMS who is passionate about helping parents raise emotionally healthy, resilient children, starting with themselves. Melissa works with parents of young children, particularly ages 5–10, helping them better understand what's really going on beneath behavior and how to respond with clarity, confidence, and connection. Through her coaching and workshops, she supports parents in tuning into both their child's inner world and their own, so discipline becomes less about control and more about growth, trust, and relationship. Grounded, compassionate, and deeply practical, Melissa's work empowers parents to slow down, listen differently, and parent from a place of intention rather than reactivity. Her approach reminds parents that they already have much of what they need. Sometimes they just need support accessing their inner wisdom. Melissa will be speaking at PEN's Stress & Anxiety Conference on Feb 28, 2026.

Getting teens to talk isn't about fixing their feelings—it's about creating emotional safety. In this episode, we talk about how parents can become a safe place for teens to open up, why advice often shuts conversations down, and how simple presence builds trust over time. We explore: Why availability matters more than schedules How listening without fixing changes everything Why side-by-side conversations work better than face-to-face How personality and timing affect when kids open up What Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore teach us about sitting with hard feelings If you've ever wondered why your teen says "nothing" or "I'm fine," this conversation will help you understand what they may actually be asking for.

When leadership breaks down, trust often disappears first — and without trust, connection is impossible. In this episode of Reclaim Your Life, U.S. Marine Officer, author, and leadership educator Olaolu Ogunyemi shares what he's learned about rebuilding trust when people stop listening, pushing back, or shutting down altogether.This conversation is for anyone who leads — at work, at home, or in their community — and feels the tension between discipline and empathy. Drawing from Marine leadership, personal wake-up moments, and real-world experience, Olaolu explores why control creates resistance, how empathy restores connection, and what it takes to lead with strength and humanity.Together, Olaolu and Irina unpack how trust is built (and rebuilt) through understanding, daily habits, and self-leadership — not authority alone. This episode offers grounded insight, practical perspective, and reassurance that leadership doesn't have to rely on force to be effective.In this episode, you'll explore:• Why people stop listening when trust is broken• How discipline and empathy can coexist in leadership• The role of self-awareness and insecurity in how we lead• How resistance signals disconnection — not failure• Daily practices that build resilience across body, mind, and spirit• Why connection always comes before influenceIf you've been feeling disconnected, stretched thin, or unsure how to lead in a way that inspires others to follow, this conversation offers a thoughtful reset — and a reminder that real leadership starts within.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Today we are talking about one of my favorite topics ever, the roots of attachment.Nature's answer to separation is not independence. It is connection. Deep, steady, invisible roots that help our kids and us hold on even when we are apart.In this episode, I talk about the six layers of attachment that Dr. Gordon Neufeld describes, from the first root of the senses all the way down to being fully known and loved for who we are.We talk about:How attachment deepens each year of a child's lifeWhy separation feels so hard and what to do about itHow to strengthen connection when your child pulls awayWhat it means to experience separateness without losing togethernessThink of this one like a gardening episode for the heart. We are learning how to care for the roots that keep us connected no matter the distance.Grab your tea, take a breath, and let's dig in. Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Kate McAllister describes how nervous system regulation shifts behavior from reaction to response. The conversation maps how stress patterns shape daily life, from parenting and school to refugee camps and co-regulation through rhythm and presence. Breath, movement, and sensory grounding become practical tools for returning the thinking brain online when fight, flight, or freeze take over.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When a young person you love is struggling with substances or challenging behaviors, the instinct to fix everything can feel overwhelming. In this illuminating conversation, marriage and family therapist Todd Sarner brings decades of attachment science into sharp focus, and offers a roadmap for parents navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence. Drawing from his training with Dr. Gordon Neufeld and other attachment pioneers, Todd reveals why our kids' most hurtful behaviors often mask their deepest needs for connection. We explore the delicate dance between holding firm boundaries and maintaining compassion – what Todd beautifully describes as being both the "agent of futility" (clear limits) and the "angel of comfort" (empathy). We unpack why teenagers simultaneously push us away while desperately needing our presence, and how parents can invest in their own nervous systems to weather these storms.Perhaps most powerfully, Todd reminds us that attachment isn't about perfection – research shows secure relationships miss connection bids 50-60% of the time. It's about showing up consistently, even imperfectly, with the understanding that our love remains the most powerful intervention we have.You'll learn:Why sensitive kids often present as tough and disconnected – and how "defensive detachment" protects them from the pain of unmet connection needsThe critical difference between punishment and boundaries, and how to communicate limits while preserving relationshipHow to navigate the teenage paradox: their biological drive for independence colliding with their continued need for guidance and safetyPractical nervous system regulation techniques (including 4-7-8 breathing) that help parents stay grounded during explosive momentsWhy investing in your own self-care isn't selfish – it's essential preparation for holding space during your child's strugglesThe power of "bridging" – maintaining connection even through conflict, letting your child know that nothing can change your love for themEPISODE RESOURCES:Transformative Parenting websiteTodd's InstagramThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

This is one of my favorite topics to teach: the powerful emotional journey from mad to sad. In this episode, I talk about what Dr. Gordon Neufeld calls the path of adaptation, the incredible shift from frustration and resistance to sadness and surrender.I'll walk you through the “traffic circle” of big emotions, how our brains look for exits when things don't go our way, and why the second exit, the one where we change ourselves instead of the situation, is where emotional growth actually happens.We'll also talk about how to create the conditions for this kind of growth in our homes. What helps our kids and us feel safe enough to move through futility and into maturity? And why crying, real sad tears, is one of the most healing things we can do.If you've ever wondered how to help your child handle disappointment, rejection, or just plain “no,” this episode will help you see those moments as doorways to growth, not breakdowns to fix.Ready to go deeper with Connect Method Parenting?

What does it mean to be a compassionate alpha as a parent? It's not about being harsh or domineering, and it's not about being passive or permissive either. It's about finding that steady, sturdy ground between strength and warmth.In this episode, I unpack the term Compassionate Alpha (learned from Dr. Gordon Neufeld) and share why kids need a parent who can lead with both firmness and kindness. You'll hear why being “too soft” spikes a child's anxiety, why being “too hard” erodes trust, and how calm, confident leadership creates the safety kids need in order to just be kids.We'll explore:What a compassionate alpha parent really looks like in actionWhy connection must come before correctionHow sturdy leadership calms a child's nervous systemThe dangers of swinging to either extreme — passive or authoritarianPractical ways to embody calm, kind authority (even when you mess up)When you step into this role, your child can rest. They don't have to take charge. They don't have to fight for your attention or protection. They know you've got them. And that's the soil where trust, maturity, and deep connection grow.Tune in to learn how to lead with confidence and compassion — sturdy and kind, the way your kids need you most.Ready to go deeper with Connect Method Parenting?

Can you apply the Dahl technique to localised POSTERIOR wear? Spoiler alert: hell yeah! How can the Dahl Technique help when there is posterior wear and NO space to restore? How predictable is building up posterior teeth (rather than the usual worn anteriors)? In this episode, Jaz dives into the ‘Reverse Dahl Technique', a twist on the classic method typically used for localized anterior wear. Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal from Norway shares his insights, explaining how building up posterior teeth with composite can lead to occlusion magic!  If you're curious about this technique and want to see a real-life case study, this episode breaks it all down, with a special visual breakdown for those watching on YouTube or Protrusive Guidance. https://youtu.be/V8MTFfXmdlw Watch PDP235 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Jaz shares insights from Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld & Dr. Gabor Maté, emphasizing how modern children lose parental attachment too soon, turning to peers for guidance. This shift can lead to anxiety and emotional disconnection.  Takeaway: Kids thrive when their primary attachment remains with parents, not peers. Strengthening this bond is crucial for healthy development.  Key Takeaways The traditional Dahl principle focuses on creating occlusal space for anterior crowns. The reverse Dahl technique is a direct method for treating worn POSTERIOR teeth. Diet plays a significant role in tooth wear and dental health. Taking photographs of patients' teeth can help track wear over time. Understanding the etiology of tooth wear is crucial for effective treatment. Building up dental anatomy is essential for successful restorations. Occlusion should be viewed as a dynamic system rather than a static one.  Patients can adapt well to this treatment modality “Patients that wear their teeth, they don't usually have TMJ problems.” Highlights of this episode: 02:22  Protrusive Dental Pearl 04:50 Guest Introduction: Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal 07:06 Understanding the Original Dahl Concept 09:31 Exploring Reverse Dahl Technique 13:30 Etiology and Patterns of Tooth Wear 23:46 Facial Patterns and Occlusal Traits Linked to Wear 24:44 Clinical Approach to Posterior Wear 30:26 Patient Comfort and Staging Treatments 32:11 Cuspal Planes and Guidance 34:21 Review Schedule and Observations 38:44 Longevity of Treatments 44:04 Contraindications and Patient Selection  45:24 Case Studies and Practical Tips 49:30 Night Guard Use 53:06 Final Thoughts and Education Opportunities If you want to learn more about Dahl Technique, be sure to listen/watch: Why do some Dentists find Dahl Distasteful? – PDP016 Dahl Part 2 (The Spicy Bit) – PDP017 Dahl Technique and ‘Maryland Bridges' – GF001 This episode is eligible for 1 CE credit via the quiz on Protrusive Guidance. This episode meets GDC Outcomes B and C. AGD Subject Code: 180 OCCLUSION (Occlusal functional concepts) Aim: To explore and understand the Reverse Dahl Technique, focusing on its application for patients with localized posterior tooth wear. This technique provides a solution when posterior teeth are worn, and there is insufficient space for proper restoration. Dentists will be able to - 1. Understand the principles behind the Reverse Dahl Technique and how it differs from the traditional Dahl Technique. 2. Identify the clinical scenarios where the Reverse Dahl Technique can be applied. 3. Comprehend the role of composite build-up in restoring posterior wear and its impact on occlusal reestablishment.

Lisa advocates for “flow” rather than structure in the homeschool day and paints a picture of what a rich— but achievable— prayer life looks like in a busy home. “We have to get away from the idea that our prayer life has to be rigorous,” Lisa says. “If our children are called to a rigorous monastic life, God will give them the grace for that.

In so many ways, "Hold On to Your Kids" by Gabor Maté and Gordon Neufeld was such an influential read for our own parenting journeys and in creating The Reconnected! In this podcast, we unpack how kids can end up more attached to their friends than their parents and what that means for their development. We got real about our struggles with our own children and reflected on our teenage years, too, seeing how our society basically pushes kids toward peer connections while weakening the parent-child bond. And this may come as no surprise, but our breathwork practice has been a game-changer for reclaiming our connection with our kids when things get tough.

In this powerful episode, Jess sits down with renowned developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld to unpack the growing mental health crisis among children today. Dr. Neufeld shares how children are losing their ability to feel deeply, struggling to engage in true play, and searching for belonging in all the wrong places. He challenges our desire to raise independent kids, calling it “one of the most ridiculous things,” and instead emphasizes the critical role of connection and attachment. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why you are the answer to your child's struggles—and how to step fully into your role as a confident, compassionate leader in your home.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with Dr. Deborah MacNamara. She is a dynamic speaker and best -selling author sought after for her expertise on human development, speaking at the United Nations and Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. She's the author of Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers and Nourished: Connection, Food, and Caring for Our Kids. Deborah is on the faculty at the Neufeld Institute and works alongside Gordon Neufeld to make sense of kids to the adults responsible for them. You might remember when we had Gordon on before and got to hang out and chat with him about connection and relationship and attachment. Dr. Deborah MacNamara's passion is to translate development through science and story, making it transferable to the home, classroom, and everyday experiences. She and I got to chat about why relationship is so key for picky eaters and how food is so much more than nutrients. Honestly, I left this conversation feeling restored and seen and like I was doing enough. You know, those conversations are so life -giving. Remember to stay tuned for the breakdown at the end with Rach where she and I dive into what this looks like in our real lives, taking the science and nerdiness and looking at practical application with a couple of parents in everyday life.
