Co-regulation Demonstration

We're at the end of the "Flipping Your Lid" series and it's time to take a look at how all this works together. There's a lot of nuance that can happen in the moment. You'll have to decide if you're seeing watchdog (fight/flight) or possum (freeze/collapse) kind of behaviors and adjust things accordingly. In this video, we'll take a look at an example of "collapse" and helping get the lid back.

This was an illustration. It felt rather harmless. Each situation is different, but in this case I'm sure he knew his son knew about details in drawings. They probably talked about it other times, when not angry. Actually, helping kids put words to their problems is a good thing, even if they didn't hear the word before. One time is always the first occasion, right? But if you deal with deep trauma, maybe those details it's not the first thing to discuss.

I always teach my son, if you ever feel you can't do something, ask for help :D

You are using words too big. “Details”? What does this mean to a young traumatized child? Nothing. They don’t understand the word. Please try again with different language.
