Most families struggle not because they don’t care, but because clear information wasn’t given early enough. As a neurology nurse practitioner, I see families say, “They were never like this before.” These behaviors are not choices—they are the brain trying to survive when it can no longer filter, predict, or self-soothe.

In this episode, learn why reassurance works better than reasoning, why regulation comes before logic, and how understanding the neuroscience can reduce stress for both you and your loved one.
