131 – Answering your questions

Today I want to share my latest podcast episode from the live Q&A that I opened up to my email list last Thursday. The questions were amazing and covered a spectrum of topics that relate to regulation and creating change in our lives.

Here is a brief overview of some of the questions and answers:

Q 1) How do we help our children regulate?

• The importance of regulating the child within us.
• Being regulating and not doing regulating.
• The power of mirror neurons.

Q 2) Is being triggered another way of saying dysregulation?

• The process of being triggered and/or dysregulation.

Q 3) How does dysregulation relate to concepts of Intuitive Eating?

• Regulation can replace Intuitive Eating without the cognitive construct.

Q 4) Can sharing our state with our children have a negative impact?

• The importance of not leaving internal struggles internal.
• Ways we can relay our state to our children.
• Finding ways to meet our needs in less than ideal situations.

Q 5) How does one balance regulating themselves and others?

• Changing your trauma story.
• Being honest about your own needs in a dysregulated environment.
