In this solo episode of The Healing Mothers’ Club, Danik continues the conversation from the previous episode about why time-outs are not trauma-informed — and dives deeper into what it truly means to self-regulate as a mom with trauma. She explains how to build a baseline of inner safety so that you can stay regulated when your kids have big emotions or unwanted behaviours. You’ll learn why most popular parenting hacks don’t work for moms with trauma, what nervous system regulation actually looks like, and why timing is everything when it comes to feeling safe enough to co-regulate with your child.

In this episode, Danik talks about:

• Why cognitive and "quick fix" parenting tools don't work when your nervous system doesn't feel safe
• The difference between top-down and bottom-up nervous system regulation
• Why the timing of your regulation practice is more important than the tools you use
