Summary

Even if you never had the exact word to describe it, I am sure you have found yourself overwhelmed, overstimulated, or overreactive, and ultimately you were dysregulated. Being in a regulated state allows us to respond to situations with calm and intention, while dysregulation can lead to reactive behavior. My guest, emotional development expert and author Alyssa Blask Campbell, explains that regulation involves the ability to cycle through different states in our nervous system with ease, how our nervous system reacts to different stimuli, and how we can use tools like deep breathing to regulate it. Alyssa also introduces the concept of sensory systems and how being aware of what drains or recharges our nervous system can be a powerful tool for self-regulation. And she emphasizes that emotions are not inherently bad, and that it's crucial to acknowledge and validate all emotions. Tune in to this eye-opening interview to learn more about yourself, as well as a simple practice that can serve as a starting point for building self-awareness and regulation skills.

0:29.6	My stress is high and I know that because my jaw is clenched, my body is on high alert
0:35.8	and I'm acting like a drill sergeant giving orders.
0:40.2	If there was a color to describe how I was feeling during this morning rush, it would be orange.
0:46.4	But that color quickly changed to a blazing hot red with just one annoyed look from my
0:52.3	family member that made me snap.
0:55.3	I'm not just talking about my snapy tone and words, although those are definitely present.
1:00.8	I'm also talking about how this almost literal snap happened inside my very body.
1:07.9	I was completely dysregulated.
1:12.3	Have you heard of that term before and its opposite regulation?
1:17.6	These terms are pretty buzzworthy right now.
1:20.4	I'm hearing them everywhere but especially in the parenting world.
1:25.0	However, when I first heard about regulation back in 2020, I thought maybe it was some
1:32.1	woo woo science.
1:34.0	I did not get how it worked and if it could work for me and my family.
1:40.6	Luckily though I was desperate enough to try anything and in that trying, my life changed.
