Your Nervous System Matters with Eva Crawford

Your child’s meltdown is not the only nervous system in the room. In this episode, I talk with Eva Crawford about somatic work, parent regulation, and what is really happening in our bodies when we get pulled into a child’s distress. We talk about why so many parents end up reacting in ways they do not feel good about later, how to notice those patterns earlier, and why body awareness matters just as much as parenting strategy. We also get into repair, self-compassion, and the idea that you do not have to be perfectly healed to parent well. You do need tools, curiosity, and a way to come back to yourself when your own alarm starts going off too. To learn more about Eva, visit https://starobincounseling.com/eva.
