Parenting with a Triggered Nervous System: Why It’s So Hard (And What Helps) with Sari Barron [92]
Manage episode 490807129 series 3459203
It’s not that your child is “pushing your buttons”—it’s that their behavior is often bumping up against old wounds, stress, and patterns stored in your nervous system.
In this powerful and validating episode, I sit down with Sari Rose Barron, a licensed marriage and family therapist and trauma expert, to unpack what’s really going on inside us during those tough parenting moments—and what we can do about it.
We explore:
- Why a frazzled nervous system can hijack your parenting
- The difference between co-regulation and control
- How your past shows up in the present (and what to do about it)
- The power of repair over perfection
- What it looks like to reparent yourself while raising kids
- A magic question that builds connection and insight
- And how to shift from reacting to responding, even in the heat of the moment
Sari brings her signature warmth, deep expertise, and lived experience as a mom to this grounded, hopeful conversation. You’ll walk away feeling seen—and supported.
