Unpacking Aggression
from We chose play from Affect Autism Hosted by Daria Brown
Returning guest, DIR® Expert Training Leader and Licensed Professional Counsellor, Mike Fields, joins us to discuss aggression. We’ll cover praxis, regulation and co-regulation, neuroception (i.e., the body scanning the environment for safety), limit-setting, self-directed aggression, trauma, and more, across age groups. Aggression is one thing when your child is a toddler, but can be a very scary thing when your child gets big. DIR® folks will talk about a child not feeling safe, but it can almost sound trite when parents, of course, always want to do what’s best for their child and don’t understand why their child isn’t feeling safe.
