How I Broke Generations of Emotional Dysregulation (My Real Story)
About this episode
Emily shares her personal journey of overcoming emotional dysregulation and its impact on her parenting.
Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "If my child could just [insert the daily task that often ends in a meltdown], I'd feel like I won the lottery"? It can feel silly to celebrate those moments when they finally happen, but they're actually signs of something much bigger. In this episode, Emily gets real and shares part of her own story growing up in a home with emotional chaos. She promised herself that when she was a mom, her family would be different. (Sound familiar?) Then one day, she was faced with the reality that her kids were scared of how she reacted when they really just needed her support. That's when she had to make a choice. What you'll take away: Why those "small" emotional regulation wins are actually monumental and what they're really evidence of Why willpower alone doesn't work for neurodivergent brains How to keep going when therapy, OT, or past approaches have only "helped some" Why emotional regulation is a lifelong journey, not a finish line Join the FREE class for parents: Emotional Regulation for Neurodivergent Kids https://emily-hamblin.com/class Connect with Emily on Instagram: https://instagram.com/emilyhamblincoaching
