In this Ask Steph episode, I respond to a listener who says they generally feel secure in their relationship — except when their partner travels and is physically away. During those periods, they experience intense separation anxiety, spiralling thoughts, and a sudden sense of insecurity that feels confusing and disproportionate.I talk about why distance and absence can be uniquely activating for anxiously attached nervous systems, even when a relationship is otherwise healthy and secure. We explore how separation can trigger old attachment wounds around abandonment, uncertainty, and loss of felt safety, and ways that you can support yourself both individually and relationally to better handle these challenges.
In this episode, Piers Cross explores the psychological impact of a child's first night at boarding school and why it often becomes a lifelong emotional imprint.Drawing on accounts from Richard Branson, Sebastian Faulks, and Peter Sykes, we examine what happens when children are separated from their families at a young age. Many remember intense fear, others remember nothing at all — a sign of dissociation.Psychotherapist Joy Schaverien describes this moment as a “threshold experience.” It is not simple homesickness. It is a sudden loss of attachment figures, familiarity, identity, and safety.This episode discusses: • separation and attachment • dissociation in childhood • why some memories are vivid and others blank • adult relationship difficulties • emotional disconnection in high achieversMany adults who attended boarding school later become capable, resilient, and successful — yet struggle with intimacy, vulnerability, and feeling truly at home.Understanding the beginning helps explain the adult patterns.Website: https://compassionateleadersglobal.com Podcast: An Evolving Man--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

Rachel's stay in Aruba has come to a close. With her husband and son spending an extra week, she discusses the impending sense of separation anxiety she feels leaving them behind. At the same time, she is experiencing a rare migraine, which leaves her wondering - how many of the ailments we feel in our body are purely emotional and energetic? What if the mind is responsible for a lot more than we really know? With all of this happening, Rachel shares some final stories from her time in Aruba, including what has changed on the island since her last time visiting and how family gatherings go with Dennis' side. She then shares about her plans for Sweden as she returns home. It's a lighthearted episode that will leave you uplifted and thoughtful. In the spirit of throwing it back to 2016, Rachel has a new yoga class out on Patreon with a playlist and poses from a class she taught way back in the day. Take the class here.

After the high emotion of "Promicide," couldn't we all use a little breather? (Also, let's be real: in a 23-episode season, you can't go straight from prom to commencement anyway.) Dawson is very slowly getting used to the idea of having lost Gretchen when Gale announces that she's leaving town, so he better try to get what closure he can in a hurry. Joey's moping around her Yacht Club shift when good old Mr. Kubelik from Worthington asks her to bring that charming boyfriend of hers to an imminent freshmen's mixer because Mr. Kubelik wants to introduce Pacey to the Dean of Admissions. Pacey, dying of shame, agrees to go, maybe even letting himself get as hopeful as Joey about what this invitation could mean. Jen comes home to a realtor showing Grams's house to prospective buyers, which is how she learns that Grams plans to use the proceeds to send Jen to college and live on what's left at an apparently not very nice retirement community. Jen immediately decides she's not going to go, so it falls to Jack to take a break from his very offscreen dates with Tobey to suggest there's another solution. Don't stress about losing us -- we're right here with a new episode on "Separation Anxiety"! JOIN THE AWT CLUB
This week on the podcast we sit down to discuss a topic that many people have experienced with their dogs and other pets: Separation Anxiety. Have you had a dog that just freaks out when you leave? Maybe they get into things that they shouldn't, maybe they bark the entire time you're gone or who knows what else. If you've dealt with this, you know it can be a huge hurdle. Today we discuss some different ways to try combatting the issue. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
In this episode, I respond to two questions from Megan in D.C.—one about navigating self-esteem work and another about handling separation anxiety in school settings. I explain how to respond when a child asks for praise or directs you to say something specific, such as "Say yes." Rather than refusing or complying without context, I share how to reflect the request first ("You want me to say that I like your drawing") before complying. This approach maintains the focus on the child while allowing the work on self-worth and validation to unfold naturally over time. Then I address a complex separation anxiety scenario in a school-based setting. I outline how to advocate for the child by becoming the single point person to eliminate confusion and inconsistency among staff. I also explain how to respond to the child's distress using reflection, patience, and containment—without rescuing or distracting—so the child can develop coping and self-regulation. Finally, I offer practical language parents and teachers can use, including choice-giving and neutral limit-setting, to support the child's adjustment while maintaining boundaries.

In this week's episode with Josh Zello from Jesus Loves Preschoolers, host Hannah Augustine asks a question many preschool KidMin leaders have asked: how do we address separation anxiety? While this is a very normal phase for the youngest kids in our care, we can feel at a loss on how to lead them through it. Using his experience as a preschool pastor, Josh shares helpful tips and strategies for helping kids feel safe in your ministry, as well as the “why” behind this phase of their lives.

In this episode, I answer a listener question from Ellie, a mom navigating separation anxiety with her 9- and 7-year-old children. We unpack the root of separation anxiety—how it's often more about a child's internal anxiety than the separation itself—and discuss the natural coping strategies kids develop in response. I also touch on the connection between anxiety and control, and how those patterns form over time. If you're seeing signs of anxiety in your kids, this episode will help you understand how those patterns develop, how therapy can help, and why what your child believes about their world and themselves is more powerful than anything you can tell them. We also discuss the role your own healing journey plays in shaping a safe emotional environment for your children.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna — the faith-based inner healing modality that helps you achieve emotional freedom. In this heartfelt episode, host Laura Milliken sits down with Shayla Huber to explore the powerful intersection of parenting, therapy, and healing from trauma. Together, they discuss the emotional journey of raising a child who struggles deeply with behavioral and emotional regulation, and how therapy brought transformation to their family. Shayla shares her vulnerable story about her son Leroy's healing process — from despair and frustration to breakthrough moments of connection, empathy, and joy. This episode highlights how faith, therapy, and understanding child development can bring new life to family dynamics, creating deeper connection, communication, and emotional growth. It's a story of hope for every parent who has ever felt defeated or unsure — reminding us that love and surrender can lead to transformation. ✨ Key Takeaways: Parenting can often be filled with guilt, shame, and exhaustion. Therapy provides tools, hope, and perspective when parenting feels overwhelming. Emotional struggles in children often have roots in trauma and disconnection. Connection and communication are key to lasting change. Faith and emotional regulation work hand in hand in the healing process. Art, writing, and creativity can be therapeutic outlets for children. Understanding trauma helps parents respond with compassion rather than control. True transformation begins when we learn to see our children the way God sees them. Healing impacts not just the child — but the entire family dynamic. “Jesus changed everything.”

While separation anxiety can be tough for both parents and children, it's reassuring to know it happens because we love each other so very much.

And YOU can find comfort in knowing that your child is in good hands, even on the most difficult days.

Elizabeth, Zak, and Lucy respond to a parent whose 7-year-old has developed intense separation anxiety—panicking anytime they're apart, even with another parent nearby. The fears center around monsters the kid hasn't seen, but hears about at school. So what do you do when reassurance stops working and fear takes over the routine? But first, we'll circle up for a round of check-ins: Elizabeth recounts a fireworks fiasco, Lucy faces down her daughter's back-to-school worries, and Zak's planning a very special birthday.

This week we are talking about separation anxiety with Caitlin Wolfe. After adopting a dog who suffered from separation anxiety Caitlin wanted to be able to help other dog owners experiencing the same thing. While Caitlin works with a variety of behavior issues, she is specifically CSAT certified for separation anxiety. Each dog is an individual and it's important that the training can be customized for each dog. Some dogs are okay as long as someone is home, other dogs need their owner present. This is why individual training plans are not only important but necessary. We are talking about some of the causes and some of the misinformation surrounding separation anxiety. One thing owners can do for their dog is contact a trainer as soon as they see signs of separation anxiety. This way the dog doesn't have months or years of rehearsing anxiety behaviors. The goal in training is to change how the dog feels about being left alone. Even though changes in routine, housing, or family dynamics can cause set backs, Caitlin does believe separation anxiety can be cured.Don't forget to review, subscribe, and share!

Is your dog scared to be home alone? Sleep white noise is a proven tool that soothes dogs with separation anxiety and helps them nap while you're away. White noise also masks outside sounds that may upset your dog such as delivery drivers and gardeners. As a result, your dog is less likely to excessively bark. A lot of humans use white noise for sleeping and dogs are no different. This sound of white noise promotes a comfy environment that allows your dog to rest. It can be heartbreaking when you have to leave your dog, but you can feel better knowing they are at home in comfort listening to soothing white noise!

The journey from reactive, anxious dog to confident companion isn't always straightforward. In this follow-up session, we check in with a client who's been implementing changes to address her dog's separation anxiety, reactivity issues, and their overly-structured relationship.What happens when we stop micromanaging our dogs and instead give them opportunities to make good choices? The transformation can be remarkable. We explore how to balance freedom with boundaries by allowing dogs space to explore while maintaining clear expectations. This delicate balance creates confident dogs who understand their world rather than anxious ones constantly looking for direction.E-collar training serves as a perfect example of this approach. Rather than using it strictly as a correction tool, we discuss how it becomes part of a communication system that creates clarity and consistency. You'll learn how to match stimulation levels to your dog's state of mind, how to transition from leash guidance to e-collar communication, and when body language speaks louder than verbal commands. The goal isn't constant control but creating a dog who makes better choices without your intervention.We also tackle the challenges of multiple-dog households, addressing controlling behaviors at doorways, and managing reactivity from different angles. Sometimes the most valuable training moments aren't about teaching new commands but about teaching dogs how to navigate their world with confidence.Whether you're struggling with reactivity or just looking to give your dog more freedom while maintaining reliability, this conversation offers practical insights into creating the right balance for your unique dog. Ready to stop micromanaging and start enjoying a more natural relationship with your dog? This episode shows you how.Visit us at theeverydaytrainer.com
