Episode 174 - The Brain and Fear Part 3 Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Do you ever feel as if you are not enough? That you can’t parent your child? As if you're going to mess it all up? You aren’t alone. Many parents feel this way. We get stuck in the scarcity mentality. We believe the “bad report.” And just as our children who are stuck in survival mode, we get stuck there too.

Episode 173 - The Brain and Fear Part 2 Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Is your child stuck in survival mode? Is he hypervigilant and unable to feel safe? Maybe his fear response is stuck on the on position. If so, you’ll want to listen to this week’s episode. Last week we covered a bit about the fear response and how the brain works. This week, I touch on how the brain wires itself into a fear response. Kids who have experienced trauma have triggers. With patience and persistence we can help our kiddos figure out what theirs are and work on rewiring them into more healthy patterns. Grab a cup of coffee and join Kathleen for some productive talk on fear!

Episode 172 - The Brain and Fear Part 1 Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

“Imagine a constant flow of cortisol and adrenaline — as if you spend every second of every day being chased by a bear with its claws bared and its teeth dripping with blood. You might be jumpy, flighty, overreative, and unable to sleep, feeling neither hungry nor thirsty, unable to read any of your body’s signals.” If your child is stuck in survival mode, he may feel like the description above (from How to Have Peace When Your Kids are in Chaos). Maybe you are stuck in a fear cycle yourself. If any of this applies to you or your children, grab a cup of coffee and join Kathleen for part one of “The Brain and Fear.” *Here are the links to the books discussed -http://kathleenguire.com/ and https://amzn.to/33hXInY
