from Chaos to Calm with Sami Ward | Support for Parents of Young Adults with Emotional Dysregulation ⚓️💙 · host Chaos to Calm Mums Podcast with Sami

This week, I’m talking about something many mums quietly live with…How even good things can feel emotionally overwhelming when you’re supporting a young adult with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, trauma, or mental health struggles.My daughter and I recently went to France to see grandma and grandpa, and although it sounds simple on the surface, there was so much underneath it:the uncertainty, the anxiety, the emotional preparation, needing separate space, physical illness, and the constant wondering whether things would actually be okay.In this episode, I talk honestly about:⚓️why change and travel can feel so overwhelming⚓️how our nervous systems change as parents too⚓️the invisible emotional labour mums carry⚓️and how progress sometimes looks very different than people expectIf you’ve ever felt half present and half emotionally preparing for things to go wrong… this episode is for you.And if this sounds familiar, I’m also sharing details of my free 3-day challenge for mums supporting young adults through emotional overwhelm and emotional dysregulation.https://chaos-to-calm.org.uk/3_days_to_feel_less_overwhelmedYour calm in the chaos, Sami ⚓💙
