The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma} Ep. 20: Why Do I Get So Dysregulated?
Or mad? Or scared? Or overwhelmed? Or shut-down?
Why do I make a mountain out of a mole hill? Why can’t I keep it together?
Being ignored (or yelled at or cussed at or disrespected or refusing to eat or do a chore or or or or the list is endless) is never going to feel good. But- have you ever wondered why your brain goes into full on attacking watch dog mode when the reality is- refusing to do a chore, go to school, or even being ignored or yelled at, isn’t life threatening?
If it isn’t life threatening, why does our brain go to attack mode?
We talk about two reasons in today's episode:
- Decreased window of stress tolerance
- Implicit memory awakenings
