Episode 18: How Using Repair Over Rupture Helps Prevent Childhood Trauma


Listen Later

No matter how intentional we are, we all have moments where we snap, shut down, or react in ways we wish we hadn’t. Today’s episode of Parenting Through Connection is about what we do after a rupture occurs. Instead of letting those moments become shame spirals or disconnection, I share how repair brings us back to relationship, safety, and trust, for both us and our children. 

Here’s what we get into: 

  • What’s happening in your nervous system when you “lose it” and why rupture is inevitable in every human relationship
  • What repair sounds like in real life with simple approaches you can use today
  • The importance of using repair to instill emotional resilience and secure attachment
  • The truth that it’s never too late to restore connection 

Remember, connection isn’t built in perfection; it’s built in how we come back to one another after rupture.

If you’re ready to go deeper into understanding your nervous system and building secure connection with your kids, check out my main parenting program, Rooted In the Middle. Thanks for listening and I’ll see you next time!
