281. Will My Dysregulation Have a Lasting Impact on My Children? With Dr. Amber Thornton

Do you find yourself feeling dysregulated more often than you’d like? Dr. Amber Thornton, licensed Clinical Psychologist, is on the show today to talk with us about how we can recognize and work with the different triggers that can set us off. If you are someone who tends to stress about worst case scenarios that “might” happen, she has some tips for you. Or maybe you dread the infamous 2nd shift of parenthood; that time between school/daycare and bedtime? Dr. Thornton shares some strategies to help us cope with the overwhelm that can come at that time of day. She leaves us with realistic expectations we should be setting for ourselves and reminds us that at the end of the day, we aren’t going to be able to meet every single one of our child’s needs, and that’s okay. Links & Resources:LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF MAUI NUI: mauinuivenison.com/herselfCYMBIOTIKA: 20% off and free shipping on first order  https://partners.cymbiotika.com/HERSELFFollow Dr. Amber Thornton on InstagramDr. Amber’s WebsiteOrder Dr. Amber’s Book; A Parent’s Guide to Self-RegulationLet’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastJoin our exclusive community for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
