Description

Looking for practical strategies to nourishing a fried nervous system?Living with someone who has significant vulnerability in their nervous system can lead to a sensitized stress response system, resulting in unpredictable and sometimes unsafe behaviors. This can leave our own nervous systems in a state of distress. While we often discuss secondary trauma in parenting kids with trauma histories, the truth is that living with someone who has significant dysregulation is trauma in itself. Understanding this perspective allows us to acknowledge the challenges we face without criticizing ourselves or others.In this episode, you’ll learn:The impact of parenting on your nervous systemThe consequences of burnout and lack of supportSigns of a fried nervous systemPractical strategies for nourishing a fried nervous systemFREE One-page PDF infographic- what to do when your nervous system is fried!CLICK HERE to begin the downloadResources mentioned in this podcast:Previous episode recommendations:Connection vs. Protection (7)Self Compassion (8)Understanding Behavior is Not Excusing Behavior (109)Grief in Parenting Kids with Vulnerable Nervous Systems (129)Scaffolding (82)When Parenting is Traumatic (95)Read a the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/friedOver on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)Ongoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: Being With:::The Club is opening our doors and welcoming new members starting Tuesday the 27th!
