The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
Formerly the Parenting after Trauma podcast, internationally recognized children's mental health expert Robyn Gobbel decodes the most baffling behaviors for parents of kids with vulnerable nervous systems. If you're parenting a child who has experienced trauma or toxic stress or a child with a neuroimmune disorder, sensory processing, or other nervous system vulnerability, this show will let you know you are not alone. You can stop playing behavior whack-a-mole because Robyn offers you tools that actually work.
You can become your child's expert, feel more confident as a parent, and bring more connection and clarity into your family.
Educators, therapists, coaches and consultants- you too can learn all about what behavior really is and become more effective at helping the families you support. You can love your work again!

{REPLAY} Grief in Parenting a Child with a VNS
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system, grief is an ever-present companion, whether we acknowledge grief or not.
The holiday season often stirs that grief up a bit more. Our kids need more accomodations, they don't find the same things fun that other kids do, and sometimes it feels like special events aren't even worth it.
As November begins, I'm replaying this previously episode all about grief in parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The relationship between trauma and grief
- Why it's important to make space for grief in our kids and in ourselves
- The role of self-compassion
- How a lack of media representation of your parenting journey causes grief
