When someone we love has experienced trauma, our instinct is often to do everything we can to make them feel better. But is doing more always the answer? In this episode, we explore the psychology of trauma, pain and dissociation, why someone might seem distant or disconnected, and how we can offer comfort, co-regulation and a sense of safety without adding pressure. We also look at why supporting someone through trauma can be difficult for us, too.

Why can one frustrating moment with your dog completely overshadow several days of progress? In this episode, we explore the psychology of setbacks, why our brains give so much weight to what goes wrong, and how the mess-ups themselves can be where some of our most valuable learning happens.

You’ve bought the course, booked the support, made the plan and promised yourself you’ll start tomorrow… so why aren’t you doing the damn thing?
In this episode, we explore what might really be underneath avoidance when it comes to working with your dog and how to help yourself.
And if you need a bit of extra support…..
One thing I love for keeping myself on track is a daily reminder and a commitment to do the thing immediately, which is exactly why we created the 30 Day Reset.
Every day you'll get one simple task by email that takes 10 minutes or less, and because the tasks don't follow a sequence, there's no “getting behind” if you miss one; podcast listeners can join for just £7 (usually £30) here: https://pawsupdogs.samcart.com/products/the-30-day-reset

Your dog does the thing, you get triggered, you react, and then comes the guilt, shame and promise that next time you'll handle it differently. In this episode, we're talking about breaking those emotional patterns, forgiving yourself for the moments you're not proud of, giving yourself another chance, and allowing other people to support you when things feel hard.

If your dog barks or whines relentlessly at you, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and anything but calm. In this episode, I'm sharing five practical (and slightly unconventional!) ways to help you stay consistent, even when your dog's demand barking is pushing every button you've got.
If this episode hit a little too close to home, you'll love my workshop, A Fresh Look at Demand Barking. I'll help you understand what's really driving your dog's behaviour and show you practical, effective ways to break the cycle. The workshop is currently reduced from £55 to £35 until 21st August. Just use the code BARK at checkout.
