94. Emotion Regulation Skill Development with Debbie

Autism & Neurodiversity ·

2023/05/27

Emotional regulation is more than just maintaining a state of calmness. It requires an awareness of self and the ability to connect with others we trust. Another part of emotional regulation is being able to sit in our negative emotions, which are a normal part of the human experience. If we model that sadness is bad our children will try to avoid it at all costs. If we label our emotions, rather than avoid them, we are better able to face them head on in the future.

Autism & Neurodiversity ·

2023/03/31

There are many barriers to effective parenting, but in this episode we’re going to discuss one of the biggest barriers that I frequently coach parents on, judgement. It often causes our neurodivergent loved ones to become stagnant in their progress and stay there. It keeps us as a mentor in a lower brain nervous system state, where worry, fear and anxiety thrive. This often sends our mentee into that same state as well, which in turn prevents them from learning and growing. Get full show notes here:

90. Attachment and Relationships with Jason

Autism & Neurodiversity ·

2023/03/17

Human nature leads us to naturally impute our own needs and understanding of the world on others, but is this the best method of developing a relationship with your neurodivergent loved one? We often ask questions that aren’t beneficial for that relationship, like “How social are they?” What if instead we asked, “Does my loved one want to interact with others?” With their needs in mind we avoid imputing our own desires onto them, which frequently causes them to spiral down a negative path.
