The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
Formerly the Parenting after Trauma podcast, internationally recognized children's mental health expert Robyn Gobbel decodes the most baffling behaviors for parents of kids with vulnerable nervous systems. If you're parenting a child who has experienced trauma or toxic stress or a child with a neuroimmune disorder, sensory processing, or other nervous system vulnerability, this show will let you know you are not alone. You can stop playing behavior whack-a-mole because Robyn offers you tools that actually work.
You can become your child's expert, feel more confident as a parent, and bring more connection and clarity into your family.
Educators, therapists, coaches and consultants- you too can learn all about what behavior really is and become more effective at helping the families you support. You can love your work again!

REPLAY: When Connection isn't Safe- Oppositional Series Part 3
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If offering safety and connection is the antidote to oppositional behavior, what do you do if connection isn’t experienced as safe or regulating by your child?
In this episode you’ll learn:
- How connection and protection can get tied together
- How to keep offering connection, even when it’s consistently rejected by your child
- The science behind why YOU need to be receiving connection - and how you can do that even if you don’t have a lot of extra time or supportive people in your life
Resources mentioned in this podcast:
- Regulated Does Not Equal Calm {Ep 31}
- Match The Energy, NOT The Dysregulation {Ep 155}
