  • Ep. 121 - Parental Burnout and PDA
    Aug 5 2025

    As parents of PDA children and teens we do a ton of work to support and heal the nervous systems of our kids, often at the expense of our own (also sensitive) nervous systems. So for this episode I invited Afshan Tafler, a nervous system expert, to speak with me.

    We talked about:

    • The impact on a parent's nervous system of raising a PDA child or teen
    • Why we get into fixing mode
    • Some tools to support your nervous system
    • (Parental burnout)

    I hope it's helpful!

    xo,
