Bipolar Disorder and the Polyvagal Theory Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

Compared to the anxiety and depression diagnoses, bipolar disorder was more difficult to break down into polyvagal terms. Seems like the issue is that there could be a few polyvagal paths to the behaviors of the disorder.

Traumas After the Trauma(s) Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Definitely a content warning on this one. Don't listen if you're not ready. No specific details of traumatic events, but definitely an emotionally triggering episode.

Often a client will tell me that the moment their life changed is not when the original traumatic event occurred, but instead, from the stuff that follows. Mercedes and I discuss some of the traumas that take place after the initial trauma(s).

The Pressure on Parents / No Consequences at All? Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

This topic has me genuinely upset and concerned about my fellow parents. There is an incredible amount of pressure on parents to basically be perfect co-regulators and never ever use consequences, including time-outs. Mercedes and I talk about this, share our own experiences professionally and personally. BTW, done correctly, time-outs aren't harmful.
