The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}

EP 228: Supporting Kids who Live Part Time in a Home without Regulation, Connection, or Felt Safety with guest Sybil Cummin


Listen Later

What do you do when your child lives part-time in a home where regulation, connection, and felt safety aren't present? In this episode, I talk with Sybil Cummin, a therapist specializing in working with families navigating coercive control. Sybil shares practical guidance for showing up as a steady, safe presence for your child, even when the other parent’s home feels unpredictable or unsafe.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What coercive control is and how it impacts both children and the parent trying to co-regulate.
  • How to offer a felt sense of safety and connection, even when transitions are rocky.
  • Why parents need safe spaces and support when navigating systems that require co-parenting with an unsafe partner.

  • Rising Beyond PC! - Sybil's Website
