Ep. 20: Why Do I Get So Dysregulated?

38 min • 2 mars 2021

Or mad? Or scared? Or overwhelmed? Or shut-down?

Why do I make a mountain out of a mole hill?  Why can’t I keep it together?  

Being ignored (or yelled at or cussed at or disrespected or refusing to eat or do a chore or or or or the list is endless) is never going to feel good.  But- have you ever wondered why your brain goes into full on attacking watch dog mode when the reality is- refusing to do a chore, go to school, or even being ignored or yelled at, isn’t life threatening?


If it isn’t life threatening, why does our brain go to attack mode?

We talk about two reasons in today's episode:

  1. Decreased window of stress tolerance
  2. Implicit memory awakenings

I talk about a LOT of resources in this episode!

  2. Self-Compassion
