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!

When is it parental separation anxiety and when is it simply normal biology? In a culture that values separation and independence, where is the line between a parent's instinct that they and their baby aren't ready to be separated around nighttime sleep verses anxiety around separation. In this episode I'm unpacking this complicated topic. I discuss some important cultural and historical context that shapes how we think about separation between parent and baby. I also talk through context that matters such as the parent's preferences, the likely stress level of baby, familiarity with other caregivers, and other signs of anxiety. It's not ok for a parent to feel pressure to be away from their baby or toddler overnight before they are ready, but it's also good to support anxiety if that is the driving factor. Connect with Kim Grab the free guide busting common sleep myths and learn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdc

Send us a textDrawing the line between childhood trauma and anxiety can be one of the most challenging diagnostic dilemmas therapists face. When a child shows regression, clinginess, and somatic symptoms, are you witnessing the aftermath of abuse or the manifestation of separation anxiety disorder? The answer requires nuanced clinical judgment that goes far beyond memorizing symptom lists.This episode tackles the subtle yet critical differences that help distinguish these overlapping conditions. We explore how abuse-related hypervigilance differs from separation-specific vigilance, why the content of play reveals profound diagnostic clues, and how family dynamics can either clarify or further complicate the clinical picture. Through practical examples and licensing exam scenarios, we unpack the patterns that matter most when making these high-stakes assessments.Perhaps most importantly, we address the dangerous assumption that these conditions are mutually exclusive. Children experiencing abuse may develop separation anxiety as a protective mechanism, creating complex presentations that demand thoughtful analysis. For both new and seasoned clinicians, recognizing these nuances isn't just about passing an exam—it's about ensuring vulnerable children receive the right interventions at the right time.Whether you're preparing for your licensing exam or seeking to sharpen your diagnostic skills, this episode provides the contextual understanding and critical thinking framework needed to navigate these challenging cases with confidence and care. Remember that thorough assessment, consultation, and prioritizing child safety remain the cornerstones of ethical practice when working with our youngest and most vulnerable clients.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

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.

Jennie Monness is joining me this week to break down the difference between developmentally normal (and healthy!) anxiety and signs that your child may need additional support—and how you can adjust your parenting approach to effectively support both.   Together we explore:   Why our instinct to remove discomfort may actually make anxiety worse—and what to do instead. How to support children with separation anxiety, and the surprising stressors that often go unnoticed during transitions. Utilizing strategies to help your child feel more grounded, like routines, visual schedules, and previewing. The difference between information gathering and reassurance seeking behaviors in children - and how knowing this difference can impact which parenting tool you use to best support them. Dr. Sarah's simple “anxiety formula” that helps you know exactly where to focus your support. How to get to the root of your child's fear, when it isn't so obvious to decode and identify for parents. Play therapy techniques and somatic work you can use to explore the fears that are hard for your child to talk about or that they are avoiding outside of playful environments.   Whether your child is anxious about school drop-off, starting something new, or just seems to struggle with big feelings, this conversation will help you feel more empowered to support them—without needing to rescue them from every hard emotion.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: https://www.jenniemonness.com/ https://www.unionsquareplay.com/ https://charmspring.com/   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

All flourishing is mutual, that's a given. And yet the schisms in our culture, the tribal divides and limbic hijack seem to grow deeper and more powerful by the day. It doesn't have to be like this.  We do have the tools of connection, of genuine listening, of offering trust to gain trust and offering respect to gain respect, we just need to know how  - and when - to put them into practice.  If we're going to move forward into that future we'd be proud to leave behind, we need to start practicing these skills as if the world depended on them - because it does.  This week's guest is someone who practices and teaches the deep, transformative skills of conflict resolution daily.  Carm Aufderheide has a master's degree in conflict and dispute resolution (CRES), and qualifications in positive reinforcement dog training from the Karen Pryor Professional Dog Training Academy (KPA-CTP and CPDT-KA) and in Separation Anxiety from Malena DeMartini, bringing both to her consultations in her NorthStar Training Solutions in Oregon. Together, these put her right in the middle of quite fierce conflicts that rage around the dog training world over the various styles of dog training, most of which boil down to: do we use force or don't we?  This is a perfect microcosm of the greater macrocosm of our torn and wounded world and Carm brings her dual skills to this with grace and intelligence and a fierce compassion that is a joy to encounter.  I first came across Carm on the Functional Dog Collaborative podcast and was blown away by the clarity of her thinking, and her capacity to live true to her convictions. I made contact later that day and we set up time for the podcast.  That was roughly six months ago, when the world was a different place. Now, recording on the day of the Pope's death, as our reality spirals deeper into chaos, it feels ever more essential that we learn these skills.   Carm suggested a whole set of reading before we recorded and I have put a link to all the books, as well as Carm's NorthStar website in the show notes.   Northstar Training Solutions https://www.northstartraining.info/ Street Epistemology https://www.streetepistemology.com/Albert Mehrabian's 7-38-55 Rule https://www.rightattitudes.com/2008/10/04/7-38-55-rule-personal-communication/Carm on the Functional Dog Collaborative podcast Carm's Recommended readingHow Minds Change by David McRaneySupercommunicators by Charles Duhigg High Conflict by Amanda RipleyThe Book of Beautiful Questions by Warren BergerNever Split the Difference by Chris VossWe Can Work it Out by Marshall RosenbergIf you're interested in joining us at a Gathering, or in the Membership, please follow the links below: Accidental Gods Gatherings https://accidentalgods.life/gatherings-2025/Accidental Gods Membership https://accidentalgods.life/join-us/

Nightmare Day Two - Separation AnxietyWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2041%3A10&version=CJBIsaiah 41:10Don't be afraid, for I am with you; don't be distressed, for I am your G_d. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with my victorious right hand.Genesis 43:1 But the famine was severe in the land; 2 so when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little food." 3 Y'hudah said to him, "The man expressly warned us, `You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.' 4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food; 5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, `You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'" Genesis 43:6 Isra'el said, "Why did you bring such trouble my way by telling the man you had another brother?" 7 They answered, "The man kept questioning us about ourselves and about our kinsmen. He asked, `Is your father still alive?' `Do you have another brother?' and we answered according to the literal meaning of his questions. How were we to know he would say, `Bring your brother down'?"Genesis 43:8 Y'hudah said to Isra'el his father, "Send the boy with me; and we will make preparations and leave; so that we may stay alive and not die, both we and you, and also our little ones. 9 I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me responsible. If I fail to bring him to you and present him to your face, let me bear the blame forever. 10 Except for our lengthy delay, we would have been there again by now."Genesis 43:11 Their father Isra'el answered them, "If that's how it is, do this: take in your containers some of the land's best products, and bring the man a gift — some healing resin, a little honey, aromatic gum, opium, pistachio nuts and almonds. 12 Take twice the amount of money with you; and return the money that came back with you in your packs — it could have been an oversight. 13 Yes, and take your brother too; and get ready; and go again to the man. Genesis 43:14 May El Shaddai give you favor in the man's sight, so that he will release to you your other brother as well as Binyamin. As for me, if I must lose my children, lose them I will." 15 The men took that gift, and they took twice the money with them, and Binyamin; then they prepared, went down to Egypt and stood before Yosef.Genesis 43:16 When Yosef saw Binyamin with them, he said to his household manager, "Take the men inside the house, kill the animals and prepare the meat. These men will dine with me at noon." 17 The man did as Yosef ordered and brought the men into Yosef's house.Genesis 43:18 Upon being ushered inside Yosef's house, the men became fearful. They said, "It's because of the money that was returned in our packs the first time that we have been brought inside — so that he can use it as an excuse to attack us, take us as slaves and seize our donkeys too." 19 So they approached the manager of Yosef's household and spoke to him at the entrance of the house: 20 "Please, my lord, the first time we indeed came down to buy food; 21 but when we got to camp, we opened our packs, and there inside our packs was each man's money, the full amount. We have brought it back with us; 22 moreover, we have brought down other money to buy food. We have no idea who put our money in our packs." 23 "Stop worrying," he replied, "don't be afraid. Your G_d and the G_d of your father put treasure in your packs. As for your money — I was the one who received it." Then he brought Shim`on out to them.Genesis 43:24 The man brought the men into Yosef's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he provided fodder for their donkeys. 25 Then they got their gift ready for Yosef's arrival at noon, for they had heard that they were going to eat a meal there. 26 When Yosef arrived home, they went in the house and presented him with the gift they had brought with them, then prostrated themselves before him on the ground.Genesis 43:27 He asked them how they were and inquired, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?" 28 They answered, "Your servant our father is well; yes, he is still alive," as they bowed in respect. 29 He looked up and saw Binyamin his brother, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" and added, "May G_d be good to you, my son."Genesis 43:30 Then Yosef hurried out, because his feelings toward his brother were so strong that he wanted to cry; he went into his bedroom and there he wept. 31 Then he washed his face and came out, but he controlled himself as he gave the order to serve the meal. Genesis 43:32 They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians included at the meal by themselves — Egyptians don't eat with Hebrews, because that is abhorrent to them. 33 So they sat there facing him, the firstborn in the place of honor, the youngest in last place; and the men expressed their amazement to each other. 34 Each was given his serving there in front of him, but Binyamin's portion was five times as large as any of theirs. So they drank and enjoyed themselves with him.Credit to:https://unsplash.com/photos/brown-wooden-pagoda-temple-under-white-sky-during-daytime-ziRSVNNqzbYhttps://unsplash.com/photos/a-dark-cloudy-sky-over-a-mountain-range-iIK7FAyiavE

The Season 2 premier starts with an alarming update as viewers are brought into the aftermath of an alarming fight between Jax and Britney, one bad enough to result in everyone encouraging him to seek professional help. Then, we flashback to a week prior and see Britney's efforts to find her own place within the friend group, and the world, independent of Jax. Jesse and Michelle navigate contentious divorce proceedings and co-parenting drama as they both establish new relationships. Kristin and Luke are still focused on starting a family - and standing by Kristin's comments revealing Janet's rumored conversations about Michelle from last season. Now that Janet has had her baby, she wants to mend the issues with Kristin, but still has it out for Zach. Nia and Danny continue to debate where to move and when to have another child, Jasmine and Melissa are getting more serious, and through it all, we're reminded of what it looks like when people actually "mention it all" on a show. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

It starts the moment you walk out of the room, your baby bursts into tears like you've just left for good. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Separation anxiety is a completely normal part of your baby's development—but that doesn't make it any less exhausting, especially when it starts to affect sleep. In this episode of The Kids Sleep Show, we're digging deep into what separation anxiety is, when it typically shows up, and most importantly, how you can support your baby through it, without losing your mind or sacrificing sleep. I'll share why this emotional milestone is a sign of healthy attachment (yay!) and offer practical, gentle strategies to help your little one feel safe, secure, and yes, ready to sleep soundly, even when you're not in sight. From creating consistent routines to practicing mini “goodbye” exercises during the day, you'll walk away with actionable tools you can start using tonight. Whether you're a first-time parent or you've been through this before, this episode will give you the confidence and calm to navigate separation anxiety like a pro. Listen in and let's help your baby (and you) get the rest you both deserve.   Episode Highlights What is separation anxiety? How do you identify if it is separation anxiety with baby? How old is a baby when separation anxiety begins?  What is some advice to support and help a baby through separation anxiety?

Letting go is hard—on kids and parents alike. At what age can separation start causing anxiety for a child? What should parents and caregivers expect? In this episode of Young & Healthy, host Symfhani Fair-Harris sits down with pediatric psychologist Dr. Lynne Merk and child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Brian Kurtz to explore the ins and outs of separation anxiety. They break down its causes, common signs, and strategies to ease transitions for both kids and caregivers. Plus, they discuss when separation can be beneficial and how to recognize when professional support might be needed.  Parenting isn't always easy, and in the tough moments, grace can feel out of reach. So, grab your headphones, hug your little one, and learn how to navigate the art of letting go.  Resources:   Follow the Young & Healthy podcast on Instagram. 

In this episode of the Aware Parenting Podcast, which is part of the Foundations of Aware Parenting series, I discuss separation anxiety. I delve into the history and current usage of the term and I contrast Aware Parenting's understanding of separation anxiety with Classical Attachment Parenting's understanding. I explore various causes of separation anxiety, including developmental stages, a need for safety, accumulated feelings, past unhealed separation trauma, and the parent's own past unhealed separation trauma. I also emphasise the effect of cultural beliefs on the understanding of separation anxiety and, as always, I offer lots of compassion to parents and children who are experiencing separation anxiety. I provide practical suggestions, such as the use of separation games and listening to crying and raging, to help both parents and children experience more connection, safety, and healing.
