Is it possible to feel better even if your child’s behavior doesn’t change?
Even if the stress doesn’t change?
Theoretically, yes.
Your chronic watchdog or possum state means you are in chronic protection mode. Is it possible to shift out of protection mode before the chaos in your life changes?

In this episode, you’ll learn
- The two different paths you can take to feel better (come out of protection mode) even if the chaos in your life never changes
- The neuroscience behind how connection and co-regulation (for you!) becomes twice as important for your ability to stay more regulated even when things are really hard
- Resources to help you feel better (shift out of protection) that you can do by yourself, as well as resources that are based in connection and co-regulation
