Episode notes
The word dysregulation is everywhere right now… on social media, in therapy spaces, in social conversations but it’s often misunderstood. Too often, it gets used in a way that feels like blaming or shaming, especially for neurodivergent people, trauma survivors, and caregivers who are already doing their best.
In this episode, I talk about why this matters to you and how misunderstanding dysregulation can lead us to correct, control, or criticize ourselves or others, instead of offering support.
I also share how this information helps by breaking down the nervous system in a clear, accessible way. My hope is that listeners can begin to:
- Recognize different nervous system states without fear
- Understand what their body is communicating
- Respond with care and compassion instead of correction
