What do you do when your child lives part-time in a home where regulation, connection, and felt safety aren't present? In this episode, I talk with Sybil Cummin, a therapist specializing in working with families navigating coercive control. Sybil shares practical guidance for showing up as a steady, safe presence for your child, even when the other parent’s home feels unpredictable or unsafe.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What coercive control is and how it impacts both children and the parent trying to co-regulate.
How to offer a felt sense of safety and connection, even when transitions are rocky.
Why parents need safe spaces and support when navigating systems that require co-parenting with an unsafe partner.
