A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Parenting a child who melts down over homework or seemingly simple tasks can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You're not imagining it—the frustration, tears, and chaos aren't bad behavior. It's a dysregulated brain struggling to access its control center.In this episode, let me explain why dysregulated kids can't use their executive function, what that means for daily life, and practical strategies to help your child regain focus, complete tasks, and strengthen their executive functioning skills.Why does my child melt down after school?Many parents notice that after a long day, their child becomes irritable or shuts down at homework time. This isn't defiance—it's a dysregulated brain that's gone offline.When stress builds, it hijacks the prefrontal cortex, the control center for planning, organization, and impulse control. Your child simply can't access their executive functions or working memory until their nervous system settles.What's happening:Stress or sensory overload disrupts brain functions.Transitions and overstimulation lead to poor executive functioning—especially in kids with ADHD or anxiety.Their brain shifts from learning to survival mode.What helps:Co-regulate first. Your calm presence signals safety.Once calm, executive functioning skills like focus, planning, and task completion return.Let's calm the brain first—because that's when real learning begins.Download the Executive Functioning Toolkit — packed with science-backed strategies you can start using today to reduce stress and improve focus.How can I help my child focus when they can't control their emotions?When emotions flood in, logic and problem-solving shut down. This is common in children with ADHD, learning disabilities, or high emotional sensitivity.Regulate first: Deep breaths, movement, or sensory grounding can reset the brain.Break tasks into small, manageable steps to avoid overwhelming a child with poor executive functioning.Use internal self-talk modeling: Narrate your planning out loud to teach cognitive strategies like task initiation and sustained attention.

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the critical difference between nervous system REPAIR and nervous system REGULATION—and why getting the order right changes everything. While tools like breathwork, craniosacral therapy, and neurofeedback are trending, they can't work effectively until foundational trauma is addressed first. He explains how physical, chemical, and emotional stress gets locked into the body through subluxation, creating sympathetic dominance that blocks healing. This episode provides a roadmap for sequencing your healing journey correctly, knowing when you're ready for regulation tools, and why some families need years of foundational chiropractic care before other interventions will stick.

Today I'm talking about how to create a real safe space so your brain and body can downshift, regulate, and actually recover—especially when the world feels loud and chaotic. Even if you've been eating well, taking your supplements, moving your body, and still feel dysregulated, this might be the missing layer: your environment and boundaries. Why this matters We're processing more inputs than our nervous systems evolved for—constant news, social feeds, and everyone else's emotions at work and at home. That unseen load keeps cortisol revved and makes it hard to feel grounded, sleep deeply, and digest well. If you don't have a calm place to land, everything feels harder. What I cover in this episode The nervous system cost of "always on" and why your stress response takes longer to reset now. How to spot dysregulation at home (it's often not about the puppy, the purchase, or the dinner choice). Creating sanctuary in real life when you share space with others—and they're dysregulated too. Boundaries that lower friction (what we discuss, when we discuss it, and why timing matters). The power of temporary unplugging: how 48 hours off social + dim evenings can change your sleep and mood within days. Scripts that help in the moment so you can opt-out of hot-button conversations without escalating conflict. Why rest isn't laziness (yes, I want you to schedule the nap—your cortisol curve will thank you). Practical steps you can start tonight Evening calm protocol (90 minutes): soft lighting only, no overheads; music or quiet; screens off at a set time. House rules that preserve peace: choose one window per week for budget/"new purchase" talks; table all non-urgent ideas until then. Weekend reset: tell your people you're going phone-off from Friday night to Sunday night; no news, no feeds. Conversation boundaries: pleasant/creative topics on weeknights; heavier topics reserved for agreed times. Sanctuary cues: a chair, blanket, tea, journal—same place, same time—so your body learns "we're safe now." Micro-breaks that count: 10-minute outside walks, eyes off screens, slow exhales (4 seconds in, 6–8 seconds out). Permission to rest: if afternoon fatigue hits, a 20–30 minute nap is a tool, not a failure. What changes when you do this Sleep comes easier and feels deeper. Mood smooths out; reactivity drops. Digestion calms (less bloat, better motility). Clarity returns—you can actually see what to work on next. Ready for a guided first week? If you want a simple, done-for-you plan to Restore Energy, Reset Mood & Renew Digestion—with checklists, timing, and if-this-then-that troubleshooting—join my 7-Day Recharge. It's the exact structure I use to help you regulate quickly so the rest of your health work finally sticks. Join the 7-Day Recharge: Restore Energy, Reset Mood & Renew Digestion — join us here!

Tell me how Broadcasting Minister Paul Goldsmith is going to sort the unsortable? The Broadcasting Standards Authority has, deliberately or not, opened a box of whoopee that is playing out all over the world in various forms. In simple terms regulators are trying to work out how to control tech. The problem with regulators is their jurisdiction is limited. The problem with tech is there is no border. The same way a Government isn't going to charge a tech company for nicking news and putting it on their websites, a broadcasting watchdog is not going to control Joe Rogan. The Prime Minister has already worked this out and said so Monday. But then the Broadcasting Minister, in that ponderous sort of surprise-ladened fashion that is unique to Goldsmith, started wondering out loud why the Herald NOW stream wasn't regulated while breakfast television was. That of course is the simple version of the problem. You are only dealing with the difference in transmission mode - terrestrial vs the internet. Next issue - if you are regulating the internet, what internet? Where does it stop and start? Local streaming? What is local streaming? If you are protecting an audience, surely you have to protect them universally? And yet you can't. Even if Goldsmith argues the line that things that look like radio or look like TV are captured, what if the radio consumed in New Zealand originates in London? Next problem - if you regulate the internet, where does that stop and start? Does a podcast look like radio? What about short form vs long form? What about local content on TikTok and, if so, why not all content on TikTok. Answer: because you can't. And if you can't, how is it fair to regulate my TikTok but not Piers Morgan's? Talk about a horse and bolting. Governments look old world. They look “AM” in an "FM" world. They look like they are trying to save letters from the internet. They look like control freaks who don't know how to save their powers. Rightly or wrongly making me adhere to rules while every half-baked weirdo on the net gets to say whatever they like is the cold, hard reality of the here and now. Save yourself the time and the headache and give it up. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this episode of The So Be It Podcast, Dr Amen Kaur explores how modern women can build confidence without burnout through nervous-system science and self-mastery.What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't burnout, but biology doing its best to keep you safe? We trace how history shaped a survival reflex that ties safety to approval and why that reflex still shows up as people pleasing, perfectionism, and self-silencing in high-stakes rooms. Drawing from epigenetics, neuroception, and practical nervous system science, we break down what happens when the amygdala takes over, why language disappears at the moment you most need it, and how to turn awareness into lasting change without white-knuckling your way through.Together, we unpack the difference between hustle-fueled productivity and presence-driven progress. You'll learn how to spot survival strategies masquerading as strengths, and how to replace them with regulated action...small, calm steps that compound into confidence and self-trust. We walk through breath cues that re-engage the prefrontal cortex, reframes for fear that honor your body's intent, and practical micro-asks that train your system to associate visibility with safety rather than threat.This is confidence as chemistry, not performance; courage as capacity, not posturing.If you're ready to stop outsourcing safety to approval or overwork, this conversation offers clear tools and compassionate language to help you lead from presence. Expect grounded strategies for asking for the raise, naming your contribution, and holding boundaries without guilt - plus a simple framework for turning awareness into action.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the one small, safe step you'll take today.

You're not alone. Wellness Wednesday are candid conversations about the unique challenges and opportunities facing CAAs in their pursuit of sustainable wellbeing.In this episode I relate how OR life can jack your nervous system into overdrive... constant alarms, literal hammering, a sudden “patient's moving", and yet our role as a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant demands we have steady hands and a clear head. I unpack three discreet, science-backed techniques you can use behind the drape to quiet the buzz without calling attention to yourself. Think long, quiet exhales that nudge your vagus nerve, a quick dose of tension-then-release to steady your hands, and a soft “voo” on the breath that taps the laryngeal branches of the vagus for an extra parasympathetic boost.Whether you're a practicing CAA, AA student, or prospective applicant, this episode marks the beginning of a community-centered approach to wellness that finally names and validates your experience.

Let's talk about body image and how to stop comparing yourself to other in this interview with author Deb Schachter. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Rethinking Body Image from a Somatic Perspective with Deb Schachter Most of us try to fix body image by changing how we look — dieting, working out harder, or comparing ourselves to others. But what if real healing starts on the inside? In this conversation with somatic therapist Deb Schachter, we explore a radically different approach to body image — one that begins with listening to the body, rather than judging it. Deb explains how our relationship with our body is shaped by early experiences, trauma, and disconnection, and how we can begin to repair that relationship through awareness, compassion, and presence.

Real and Uplifted with Dorothy - Weight Loss Tips for Women 40+
Episode 101 ✨How to Start Over Without Starting From Scratch In this episode, Dorothy opens the door to a fresh new chapter, both in her work and her life. After 100 episodes of growth and reflection, Episode 101 marks a gentle evolution: a conversation about beginnings, endings, and the space in between. You'll learn why “starting over” is rarely about wiping the slate clean. Dorothy shares how nervous-system safety, self-trust, and aligned action make new beginnings sustainable, and how returning to what once worked can coexist with redefining what's true now. In This Episode: Why every “fresh start” carries the wisdom of what came before How to close energetic doors that never fully shut Returning vs redefining — knowing which season you're in What to do when resistance shows up How I'm shifting from “fixing” to “frequency” from proving to peace Begin again in alignment, not pressure Because you're never truly starting from scratch. Episode Highlights: “You're allowed to close a chapter without crossing every t or dotting every i." “Sometimes expansion looks like doing more. Other times, it's creating more space to breathe.” “Beginning again can sound empowering, but in real life it can also feel heavy, confusing, sad, or even scary.” “You're never truly starting over. Every new beginning carries the wisdom of what came before.” Keywords (SEO):self-trust podcast, personal growth, nervous system regulation, mindset coach, women's self-development, sustainable habits, consistency vs perfection, emotional regulation, gratitude practice, embodiment, Trusting Dorothy podcast Resources & Links: Explore Within: A Return to Self – A 21-Day Journey of Embodied Calm, Clarity, and Deep Self-Trust →https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/Within-Waitlist Move your body with me inside The Lift Library → HERE Apply for Peace & Prosperity 1:1 Coaching – Six Weeks to Regulate, Realign & Receive _____________________________________________________ Click HERE for the Show Notes.

Childhood trauma can turn into CPTSD which has pervasive symptoms throughout your life, but you can learn to heal from childhood trauma. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Emotional Flashbacks video: https://youtu.be/oVLHysMGi8o?si=oJZy76o957LNranw Relationships after Childhood Trauma: Coming soon Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker is a compassionate, practical guide for understanding and healing childhood trauma, CPTSD, and complex trauma. Walker explains how chronic abuse or neglect in childhood wires the nervous system for danger, leading to symptoms like emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, harsh inner critic attacks, and difficulty with boundaries. He introduces the 4F survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—showing how they develop as protective adaptations to childhood trauma but can block healthy adult relationships. Healing, he says, begins with recognizing emotional flashbacks, shrinking the inner critic, and practicing self-compassion through “reparenting” the inner child. Walker emphasizes building healthy boundaries, grieving childhood losses, and replacing self-abandonment with self-protection. His approach blends psychoeducation, practical tools, and validation, empowering survivors to reclaim self-worth, safety, and connection. Ultimately, the book offers a hopeful roadmap for healing complex trauma—moving from a life shaped by survival to one grounded in presence, love, and resilience.

We'll explore common thought spirals like fear of abandonment, self-blame, and overthinking, and I'll share how to re-center with compassion instead of control.This episode is for you if:* You find yourself stuck in anxious or intrusive thought loops.* You panic when there's space or silence in your relationship.* You replay conversations, wondering if you said the “wrong thing.”* You want to feel calm and grounded instead of consumed by fear.I know now that spiraling is actually just my body asking for safety. When you pause to root into what's actually happening, regulate your nervous system, and redirect your energy back to yourself, you stop trying to fix the fear and start learning from it.

Ever feel like you know all the “right” things to do in a relationship, but when the moment comes, your body is flooded with stress, your voice tightens, or you just shut down? Many of us long for deep connection and trust, but when life gets real, our nervous system can hijack our best intentions. The invisible forces of old wounds, protective patterns, and the lightning-fast reactions of our bodies can make true safety in love feel just out of reach. In this episode, you'll discover practical ways to bridge the gap between knowing and feeling safe and connected with your partner. Drawing on insights from attachment and polyvagal theory, somatic psychology, and real-world relationship experiences, the conversation sheds light on what “embodied safety” truly means—and why it's the foundation for intimacy, trust, and even passion. Listeners will come away with tools to notice their body's cues, co-regulate with a partner, and develop relational intelligence that supports lasting, resilient love—even when challenges arise. Aubrey Aust is a writer and master's candidate at NYU studying relational psychology and philosophy. Her work explores how emotional safety, embodiment, and relational intelligence shape intimacy and trust. Drawing from attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and somatic psychology, Aubrey helps individuals and couples understand how to build safety in relationships through both the mind and the body. She is passionate about making complex psychological insights practical, soulful, and deeply human. Episode Highlights 08:38 How our bodies subconsciously sense safety or danger in relationships. 10:32 The importance of nonverbal cues and body sensations in emotional communication. 16:50 Identifying and changing self-protective behaviors that block intimacy. 19:10 Accessing vulnerability for co-regulation. 21:54 How consistency shapes true relational growth. 26:32 Navigating the tension between meeting others' needs and self-care in daily life. 28:08 How curiosity about intense emotions can help heal shame and estrangement. 32:04 How understanding core needs brings freedom and new options in relationships. 35:17 Rewiring your reactions: How noticing your nervous system transforms relationships. 38:39 How small shifts in attention can instantly calm your nervous system. 41:30 Unlocking the power to heal and evolve through relationship challenges. Your Check List of Actions to Take Take conscious pauses to slow down and deepen your breath, helping you regulate stress and become more present in relationships. Practice tuning into your bodily sensations during interactions—notice tension, breath patterns, or relaxation—to better understand your felt sense of safety. Build somatic awareness by gently observing your physical reactions when you feel unsafe or activated, such as tightness, speeding up, or shutting down. Create check-in rituals with your partner to attune to each other's nervous system cues, like noticing changes in body language, tone, or energy. Normalize and expect moments of rupture or conflict, and view them as opportunities to build relational trust through repair and open communication. Get curious about your protective patterns (such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or hyper-independence) and consider when they may no longer serve intimacy. Use subtle self-regulation techniques in social situations, like grounding your feet, gently pressing your fingers together, or scanning the room to calm your nervous system. When you feel dysregulated in a conversation, ask clarifying questions or take a brief pause to gather yourself instead of reacting from a place of activation.

HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws. He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears. 1960
