The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
EP 176: Feel Better, Even If Nothing Changes
Is it possible to feel better even if your child’s behavior doesn’t change?
Even if the stress doesn’t change?
Theoretically, yes.
Your chronic watchdog or possum state means you are in chronic protection mode. Is it possible to shift out of protection mode before the chaos in your life changes?
That’s exactly what we address in today’s episode!
In this episode, you’ll learn
- The two different paths you can take to feel better (come out of protection mode) even if the chaos in your life never changes
- The neuroscience behind how connection and co-regulation (for you!) becomes twice as important for your ability to stay more regulated even when things are really hard
- Resources to help you feel better (shift out of protection) that you can do by yourself, as well as resources that are based in connection and co-regulation
Resources mentioned in this podcast:
- Connection Or Protection {EP 7}
- When Your Nervous System Is Fried {EP 139}
- The Privilege Of Parenting With Safety {EP 169}
