Ep. 101: How to Influence- Not Control- Behavior
Nov 08, 2022 Episode 101
Robyn Gobbel

Understanding the difference between having influence over behavior vs. control can help you get clear on what to focus on. 

One of the trickier parts of the work I do is talking so much with parents about attachment, their role in co-regulation, and felt-safety, without snagging into parent’s shame about every parent's deepest worry- that their child’s baffling behaviors are all their fault.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What it means to influence, not control
  • What your real responsibility is in influencing behavior
  • Responsibility does not equal blame
  • How to acknowledge influence without shame
