If you're parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system, grief is an ever-present companion, whether we acknowledge grief or not.
The holiday season often stirs that grief up a bit more. Our kids need more accomodations, they don't find the sam... more
Sometimes our kids look completely calm- even smug — while doing something that definitely isn’t a behavior of connection.
But…they’re not melting down. They’re not screaming. They seem totally in control.
Seems kinda like owl brain, yeah?
But- i... more
You ask your child what happened, and before you can finish the sentence, they’re already saying, “It wasn’t my fault!”
Sound familiar?
I know this is SO frustrating! But there’s a reason this is so hard, and it has everything to do with (of course... more
Sometimes you share something about the brain—like how all behavior makes sense—and people push back hard. Maybe they dismiss it. Maybe they even get mad. It can feel confusing, because once you see the truth of relational neuroscience, it feels like... more

- Years of adoring Robyn
When I was a baby therapist, I had the honor of being trained by Robyn and was profoundly changed by what she taught me. So to later find her book, website, and podcast—oof—such a treat. Her words and resources continue to deeply impact me and the work I do with staff and students every day in my schools.

Apple Podcasts5RCSgambatiUnited States7 months ago - Interesting information but poor presentation
To be fair of only listen to one episode of this show- episode 165 - but I found it more annoying than informative. Since I didn’t start at the beginning, there was some terminology to pick up on, but that proved easy enough. And some of the information struck me as true to my situation or my family situation, but following along was tedious due to two main factors. Number one, if this was an essay instead of a podcast. It was a good draft, but needed to be tightened up with some extra extra ext... more

I felt so much better after listening to this podcast. I felt so much less alone in having a neurodivergent child and it also helped me let go of some underlying shame I didn’t even realize I was carrying. I love how Robyn discusses the owl vs possum brain
