You’ve probably wondered how you can know the neuroscience of behavior and have a toolbox full of tools…and still struggle to actually USE those tools.

It’s not because you’re a bad parent.
It’s because you’re dysregulated, have a sensitized stress response system, and probably have some implicit memories that leave you vulnerable to being triggered.
In this episode you’ll learn:

- Why your sensitized stress response system leaves you vulnerable
- Why regulated, connected parents who feel safe parent the way they want to
