This is a beautiful poem by Ullie Kaye Poetry 💚 Grief has to come through the body and be felt, we cannot run away from it, try to ignore it, hide it or bury it. Westpsych - Psychologists can help you find closure and heal from loss- you do not need to carry it around you in silence anymore 💛

Co-regulation before self-regulation wires the brain to thrive and not only survive 🥰

Thank you The Contented Child, Child Wellbeing Consultancy 🙏🏻✨💕🧠

Before a child can calm themselves, they first need to experience calm with someone.
Co-regulation is the bridge — it’s how children borrow our calm to find their own.

When adults stay steady through storms of big feelings, we’re not just managing behaviour — we’re wiring the brain for emotional safety and self-control.

Explore practical ways to support co-regulation and help children manage big feelings with our Managing Big Feelings Toolkit for Parents & Educators. Link in comments or via Linktree Shop in Bio.

Proud to share that my first podcast has gone live today! 🤗 I was invited by Mariette Snyman Journalist to talk on her Podcast Show Calm, Clear and Helpful which regularly covers matters related to emotional and physical health, parenting, love & intimacy, and the challenges of life. We spoke about Emotional Dysregulation as a Key Component of ADHD.

Listen to the Podcast: https://www.mariettesnyman.co.za/blog/emotional-dysregulation-in-adhd

It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about the lived emotional experiences of those living with neurodivergence and ADHD and how the condition can affect every aspect of life. We also looked at ADHD from a brain-based theoretical perspective and how this has the potential to remove all kinds of shame from the dysregulation experienced with this condition, allowing us instead to offer an effective treatment approach with BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT) at its heart 💚💪🏻🧠

Thank you to Mariette for being so incredibly professional, well-prepared and putting me at ease during the talk 🙏🏻🤗 I highly recommend Mariette to other healthcare professionals should they be interested in using her services as a Podcast Producer https://www.mariettesnyman.co.za/services.

Understanding that emotional dysregulation is a brain-related symptom in individuals with ADHD can counter shame and offer hope. Counselling psychologist Ronel Carver discusses ADHD and its effects, executive functioning deficit, emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitive dysphoria. Concerning

How do you, your partner and your children feel when they’re in the ‘learning space’? Really frustrated and uncomfortable most of the time, right?

That’s exactly where we grow the most, or even, where we feel the most stuck. What would happen if we instead looked at all of those frustrating areas of our lives and instead asked, ‘What is this teaching me? What do I need to learn here?’ The faster we learn the information and the skills we need to grow, the faster we are free from what keeps us stuck. Then you ‘level up’ and can learn the next best thing for your growth and development ☺️

Thank you Dr Becky at Good Inside 🤗💚
