What if dysregulation isn’t the problem?
I know I know- that’s really hard to wrap our brain around! At least, it was for me.
In this episode, I continue the conversation from last week’s interview with Deb Dana and take a deeper dive into one of her most powerful insights: that dysregulation is simply part of being human—and it’s the absence of repair that becomes the real challenge.
But I think for parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors, we need to pause and explore that a little more. Because- in your home- dysregulation is a real problem!!!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why dysregulation is a natural part of being human, and how polyvagal theory reframes it with compassion and hope
- The difference between dysregulation itself and the behaviors that can emerge from it
- How offering repair—even when it isn’t received—can create powerful shifts in your child’s nervous system and in your own
