Addressing Root Causes of Dysregulation Beyond Diagnoses with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge
Ever feel like your body’s stuck in overdrive, unable to fully relax? Your nervous system is probably dysregulated! In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a child mental health specialist who has a wealth of knowledge on this silent threat. We explore signs of nervous system dysregulation in children and adults, and the importance of tackling root causes over mere diagnoses. Dr. Roseann also shares invaluable insights on teaching executive functioning skills, the impact of the pandemic, and the power of parental self-care. Tune in to discover science-backed strategies for fostering regulation and resilience.
Today we cover:
