How do you calm a hypervigilant nervous system? What causes it? How do you support a child when their behavior is challenging? This is what we discuss in this week’s coaching episode with Anita.
Anita lives in Australia and is the mom of two great kids: an 8 year old girl and 5 year old boy named Louis. Louis has a hypervigilant nervous system and asks for support in navigating it.
We cover:
- [3:20] Louis’ facial burn and how it exacerbated his hypervigilance and sensitive nature
- [8:45] How to know if you need an autism diagnosis
- [11:40] Trauma responses vs. autism
- [18:15] The fear behind not having enough resources for neurodivergent kids
- [25:20] Anita’s update after two months
