  • Game Changer

    We searched everywhere over many years on how to support our now 11 year old PDA son before finding Casey.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 136 - Teaching Frustration Tolerance to My PDA Child?
Q: What do you think her window is overall in her nervous system?
She's hovering. Basic needs are impacted, I would say, like sporadically to semi-regularly, but they're still easy to accommodate.

Q: How do you feel your connection and felt safety with her is most of the time?
I'm her safe person. I find her anxiety and dysregulation to be triggering to me.
Ep. 135 - PDA Teen Can't Stop Wrestling Dad
Q: How can we establish boundaries without triggering a meltdown in our son?
Allow for experimentation with boundaries while understanding the cumulative effects of PDA and emotional responses.
Ep. 135 - PDA Teen Can't Stop Wrestling Dad
Q: What is happening with our son's need to wrestle with his dad after work?
It's a combination of hormones and a way to equalize power dynamics, but it presents challenges given the father's health condition.
Ep. 134 - De-Escalating Your PDA Teen in Public
Q: What do you do in the home currently to deescalate in these moments?
In the home, we usually just physically pull away and let him come back when he's ready, without acknowledging the physicality at all.
